Rest of the Day: You Can Now Buy Unlimited Data on Verizon in 30 Minutes
If you just want to start downloading crazy but don’t want to exceed your data limit, Verizon customers can now pay $ 2 for unlimited data that lasts only 30 minutes. If you want to go completely crazy , you can pay $ 3 an hour. About this and much more in today’s news.
- Verizon’s new offering is called PopData … and it’s as silly as it sounds. I understand – you want to stream a movie or something, and you only need a short window to recklessly load – but come on. Limiting data is, in most cases, a pointless way to charge a commission . [Verizon via The Verge ]
- The Department of Transportation has banned the use of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on all flights to the United States. [Transportation.gov via Gizmodo ]
- You can now buy an iPhone 7 without a SIM card, meaning it is unlocked and ready to work with any wireless carrier. However, phones without a SIM card are not eligible for Apple’s renewal program. [Engadget via Gizmodo ]
- Kotaku just updated their selection of 12 best iPhone games , ranging from quick puzzle games to full RPG games. It’s a good list, but oddly enough, it’s missing the only game I’m playing: Steppy Pants . [Kotaku]
- Netflix is offline, according to the COO of a mobile video company. Penthera’s Dan Taitz claims that Netflix is working on a product because “industry sources” are talking about it, which is not entirely accurate confirmation of the rumors. But that’s an interesting thought. [LightReading via TNW ]
- Do you like to drive a car? Do you like to write? Are you good at both? (It is not necessary to do it at the same time, but if so, then additional points). Yalapnik is hiring.
Good weekend.
