What internet service packages does Verizon offer?

Depending on what calling plan you want and how you want to connect to the internet, you have several options.

If you are still on an America's Choice plan, you can get the Mobile Web package for $5 a month. This will allow you to use the built-in browser on your phone to surf the web, and will only cost you minutes (but it will not cost you minutes on nights and weekends).

Nationwide plans can automatically use the browser, but data will be charged $1.99 per megabyte, rounded up to the next full megabyte (but not standardly; 1.1 MB would be rounded to 2 MB even though math says otherwise).

If you don't want to use the built-in browser, you can use your phone as a modem, using Broadband Access Connect. If you have Nationwide email or an unlimited data feature on your plan, you will only be charged $15/month. If you have the Unlimited VZEmail plan, or if you have Web and Email for Blackberry, you will be charged $30/month. If you have neither, you will be charged $59.99/month. With all of the Broadband Access Connect plans, you can keep it for as long or as little as you need and only pay for the days you use it (e.g. if you signed up for the $59.99 plan, and only keep it for two days, you would be charged around $4). With all of the Broadband Access Connect plans, you will be allowed 5GB of data.

The final internet plan that Verizon Wireless offers is for people who either buy a PC card for their laptop or buy a USB modem. As with the Broadband Access Connect, 5GB of data costs $59.99. However, you cannot get a discount for features that you already have on your account (as you could with the Broadband Access Connect plans). The only pricing options are $39.99 for 50MB of data or $59.99 for 5GB of data.
