AT&T has been offering international data plans for a while now, but until today they were the only U.S. carrier offerring a flat rate plan for global data. That changes now with Verizon Wireless’s new Global Data Plan, which offers 100mb of data for just $25 a month. Each additional 100mb used will cost another $25. This rate is available while traveling in over 120 countries for their post-paid customers, and wil become available as of April 23rd.

As a matter of fact, Verizon’s pricing actually beats AT&T’s global data pricing of 125mb for $49.99. All in all, it’s about time that more carriers offered reasonable international data rates, so this is good news for mobile customers. Check out more details below.

To purchase a Global Data plan, customers are required to have a domestic data package and international eligibility, which requires minimum payment history.
Customers who require more than 100 MB of data while traveling will receive a notification via text message when an additional 100 MB of data for $25 has been automatically made available to them once they exceed their initial allotment.
Customers traveling to countries not covered under the Global Data Plan, but within Verizon Wireless global coverage areas, will be charged at Pay Per Use rates of $0.02 per KB.
