Verizon plans trial of flat-rate prepaid plan

TAMPA, Fla.—Verizon Wireless plans to launch a three-month trial of a flat-rate wireless plan for its Freeup prepaid service in Florida.

The flat-rate plan will charge customers 20 cents per weekday minute and 10 cents per night and weekend minute regardless of the replenishment level. Customers will also be able to send and receive text messages for 5 cents per message. Currently, Freeup customers who purchase larger amounts of replenishment minutes receive a lower per-minute cost.

The trial is expected to run from Feb. 23 through May 31.
