Samsung_Juke_Verizon.jpgNot wanting to let a lucrative market opportunity get away from them, Verizon Wireless has expanded its prepaid offerings by letting customers pay a per-day access fee, according to FierceWireless.

The new plans break down as follows: the "Core" plan costs 99 cents per day, and offers unlimited in-network calling and 10-cents-per-minute calls everywhere else. The "Plus" plan, meanwhile, costs $1.99 per day but bundles in free night calling. Finally, the "Power" plan (cue explosive sound effect) costs $2.99 per day and also includes free weekend calling.

For all three plans, text messages cost 10 cents each, MMS messages are a quarter a pop, and out-of-network calls are 10 cents per minute. The report said that prepaid users can also sign up for Verizon's various media-related services, including VZ Navigator and V CAST.

You left out the most important part: "...the daily access fee is $[?].99 (for each day you use it)". For days that you don't use the phone/service, it costs nothing.
