Post CES is one of teh better times for technology afficiandos. First last week it was Verizon offering up new unlimited voice and data plans starting on Monday:

Beginning Monday, Nationwide Unlimited Talk plans for individuals (that’s voice calls only) will cost $69.99 per month. If you want messaging, you’ll need to pay for them individually or add a texting plan. On the other hand, you can get both voice and messaging with a Nationwide Unlimited Talk & Text plan for $89.99 per month.

Groups on a family plan also will have new unlimited options. For voice calls only, the Nationwide Unlimited Talk Family SharePlan will be $119.99 per month and the Nationwide Unlimited Talk & Text Family SharePlan will be $149.99 per month. All family plans include the first two lines of service. Verizon also has discontinued the $19.99 monthly data option.

On the prepaid side, customers can get unlimited service for $5 more per month than their contract counterparts. That makes the Prepaid Monthly Unlimited Talk plan $74.99 per month and the Prepaid Monthly Unlimited Talk & Text $94.99 per month.

Then AT&T upped the ante:

he new plans, which will be available beginning Monday, Jan. 18, can be ordered at AT&T’s 2,200 company-owned retail stores and kiosks, through convenient online service at�www.att.com, or at one of the thousands of authorized AT&T retail locations.

Suddenly I’m no longer tide to Verizon since it won’t matter what network some is on to determine how many minutes I burn. I may even drop down to one phone.
