Verizon has furtively added another option to its lower-cost smartphone schemes by introducing a 500MB data package for its “Share Everything” plans. These bundles offer a single package of data, unlimited calls, and texts across a number of devices.

This lower-tier of 500MB of data on the “Share Everything” plan will cost $40 per month; just $10 less than the 1GB plan and $20 less than the 2GB plan. Since this data is shared across all of your devices, you will have to fork out an additional $40 per month for each smartphone and $10 for each tablet registered.

The addition of this new option means that the entry price for a single smartphone will be $80 per month, prior to the inclusion of taxes and fees – that’s a lot of money to pay for just 500MB of data per month.

These updated structures come just 11 days after AT&T introduced a new, cheaper $20 per month 300MB data plan to its Mobile Share packages; tallying in at a total of $70 per month for one smartphone.

Topping the affordability charts is Sprint, who currently offers 1GB of data for $70 per month (for one handset), making it the more affordable alternative if you’re in the market for mobile data.
