Verizon Offers Free 3G Tethering on Palm Pre Plus and Palm Pixi Plus

Though April Fools Day is hardly the best time to make any genuine announcements, Verizon Wireless did so yesterday. And it made not one but two major announcements yesterday. Both these announcements also figure on the Official Palm Blog.

• Verizon is now offering Free 3G Tethering, courtesy the Palm mobile hotspot app. The first 5 GB of data each month now comes at no extra cost. The app lets your Palm Pre Plus or Palm Pixi Plus share your 3G bandwidth with up to 5 other Wi-Fi devices. The purchase process lists the Wireless Internet Access (aka 3G Mobile Hotspot) to be priced at 0$. So, while the smartphone data plan is unlimited, but tethered usage isn’t.

• Verizon has slashed the prices for Palm's Pre Plus and Pixi Plus smart phones. Verizon Wireless website now lists the Palm Pre Plus priced at $49.99 and Palm Pixi Plus priced at $29.99. Both require two-year contracts for a Voice Plan with Data Pak $29.99 or higher. What's more, you can actually get two phones by just paying for one.

If you are a Verizon customer and a Palm Pre or Palm Pixi fan, Christmas has surely come early and that too on April Fools Day!
