Verizon Wireless has started their tiered data plans for smartphones this week, giving users more options for their phone bandwidth needs.
Subscribers will now have the chance to purchase 150MB a month for $15, or keep their unlimited plan for $30.
The U.S.' largest carrier has said in the past that 95 percent of users don't need unlimited plans as a good portion use under 100MB per monthly cycle, especially BlackBerry users which tend to use the phone's data for email and quick browsing only.
Five percent of smartphone users use about 50 percent of all data bandwidth, added Verizon.
The $15 package is a "holiday promotion" but Verizon is likely to make it permanent.
