Verizon Wireless offers prepay customers unlimited text, picture and video messaging for $10 a month

So says the press release from Verizon. Although, I have to admit to being a little confused by the press release, as it seems to contradict itself.From the Press release:

Beginning July 14, Verizon Wireless prepay customers can get unlimited text, picture and video messaging to more than 67 million Verizon Wireless customers nationwide, plus get an additional 250 text, picture and video messages a month for just $10 a month. NB: does this makes sense to anybody? Unlimited texts then get an addition 250 texts for $10 - and there’s me thinking unlimited was er unlimited.

“The addition of our new messaging bundle for prepay gives our customers the freedom to send and receive messages at an affordable monthly rate,” said Jeff Dietel, vice president marketing operations for Verizon Wireless. “Messaging has become a natural and effective form of communication for our customers, and by offering these bundles we can offer our prepay customers access to the benefits of Verizon Wireless’ messaging services which, like their voice calls, run on the nation’s most reliable wireless network.”

INpulse prepaid wireless plans from Verizon Wireless offer customers many of the same service options enjoyed by customers who sign annual contracts. With rates as low as 2 cents per minute for voice calls and text messages, customers can choose from three plans: INpulse Core, INpulse Plus and INpulse Power. The plans charge customers an access fee only on the days of use and include Unlimited IN Calling to Verizon Wireless customers in hundreds of major metropolitan areas. INpulse customers also have the ability to pay for songs downloaded over-the-air through V CAST Music and purchase ringtones, ringback tones, Mobile Web, games and other applications, such as VZ Navigator(SM), using funds in their INpulse accounts.
