Verizon Wireless Announces Global Plans for BlackBerry Storm

Verizon Wireless announced some details regarding the plans that will be available for the upcoming BlackBerry Storm. Because the Storm has global capabilities, Verizon is offering a slew of plans that focus on overseas travelers. The Global Value Plan offers discounted roaming charges on calls made to and from 130 countries for $4.99 per month. Verizon is also offering a global flat-rate email, data and messaging plan that covers the U.S. and abroad. The GlobalEmail Data Plan will cost $70 per month alone, or $65 per month when attached to a voice plan.
