There are a few carriers out there offering prepaid BlackBerry service and according to the BoyGenius Verizon will be the next to jump on board. According to a leaked document the service was scheduled to start yesterday but I have not heard any confirmation about that. Still rumor has it that the new plan will require a $30 a month BlackBerry data plan just like regular customers. No word on if this plan will be limited to the BlackBerry Curve 8530 like other carriers or how much the device will cost upfront.
What do you think? Are you on a prepaid BlackBerry plan? I know a couple people considering it for a spare device or just to save on the taxes paid on post-paid contract plans.
