Cue the Kumbaya and gather 10 of your data-driven, Verizon Wireless devices. Verizon has announced a complete overhaul of its billing plans, for the first time offering customers the ability to share their data allowance across several devices, reports Mashable.
Verizon’s new “Share Everything” plan, starting June 28, is designed to offer customers with unlimited calls, unlimited text, video and picture messaging and a single data allowance for up to 10 Verizon 
Wireless devices. The plan seems great for those who have both a smart phone and a data-driving tablet. There will no longer be a need for two separate data plans, and the worry of going over the data limit will be erased.
So what’s the cost? Verizon will charge a monthly line access charge per device, ranging from $10 for a tablet to $40 for a smartphone. Basic cell phones will be $30 a month, while Wi-Fi access devices, netbooks and notebooks will be $20 a month.
Data service will be charged at a rate starting at $50 for 1 GB per month, which can be shared across 10 devices. The rates go up as follows: 2GB for $60; 4 GB for $70; 6 GB for $80; 8 GB for $90 and 10 GB for $100, notes Computerworld.
What do you think? Are 10 GB enough for you and 10 of your Verizon Wireless devices?

While the power user payig for several devices may benefit from this plan, the family user with one or two smartphones and one or two basic phones will find his bill climbing. In our case they say its a wash based on our kb average of data, in reality you dont utilize all the phone functions at first and grow into data usage, ours has risen steadily every bill. The basic phone price has doubled due to unlimited text and calls which we did not need and will not use. The unliited on the son, the power user will be gone, my pay for two get four will be gone to be replaced with a 4gb plan that we will readily exceed in the near future. the cost goes up 25% based on current usage not average. In the future with all their offers to let us tether and use more data it will rise even faster if utilized. thanks Verizon hope T-mobile gets their upgrades done soon.
