For $99.99 on the Nationwide plan, you get unlimited calls to anyone, anywhere for five phones. This is a great plan for families wanting a cheap way to communicate with one another. For an extra $30 totaling to $129.99, your plan can include unlimited text messaging to any phone, anywhere. No more overage fees with this new plan.

On the new Nationwide plan, data is charged per MB at the rate of $1.99/MB, which quickly piles up. Data charges include the Get it Now services, Mobile web, and V Cast.
