Verizon set to offer 'unlimited' option, data rollover

From CNET: An image from a Verizon test site spotted by The Consumerist has the nation's largest wireless carrier offering a rollover-like feature that allows customers to take unused data with them to the following month. There's also a "safety mode" that removes overage fees, and some customers will get more access to their plans while in Canada and Mexico.

A Verizon spokeswoman declined to comment on the image or the changes, only noting, "We're going to have some fireworks next week -- stay tuned."

t's no coincidence that Verizon may be targeting these three areas; rivals AT&T and T-Mobile have rolled out some or all of these features over the last year. The move underscores the competitive environment that even market leader Verizon faces, which has yielded better deals and more perks for consumers.

Verizon calls its rollover plan "Carryover Data," which according to the image will be available to all customers. It's similar to AT&T's Rollover plan and T-Mobile's Data Stash program (AT&T owns the rights to the term "rollover," which is why T-Mobile uses a different name), which were both announced within a month of each other starting in December 2014.
