For Big Talkers, Wireless Firms Offer Flat Rates
Plans From Verizon, Rivals Will Allow Unlimited Calling; Switching Without Penalties

There's some good news for people who spend a lot of time on their cellphones.
Three of the nation's largest cellphone companies are rolling out plans that charge a flat rate for unlimited calling, a significant departure from the traditional model, in which consumers purchase "buckets" of minutes. The new plans cost more than most traditional options and are aimed at the heavy user, a customer that wireless carriers compete fiercely to land.
Verizon Wireless, a joint venture between Verizon Communications Inc. and Vodafone Group PLC, said it will charge $99.99 a month, plus taxes and fees, for its unlimited voice. The plan is available immediately. Rivals AT&T Inc. and T-Mobile USA Inc. quickly followed suit by announcing similar plans, which will be priced the same as Verizon Wireless's offering.
