In more Verizon Wireless news, the carrier has announced that beginning July 14 its prepay customers can get unlimited text, picture and video messaging to more than 67 million Verizon Wireless customers nationwide. For messaging with non-Verizon customers, the carrier is also offering an additional 250 text, picture and video messages a month for just $10.

“The addition of our new messaging bundle for prepay gives our customers the freedom to send and receive messages at an affordable monthly rate,” said Jeff Dietel, vice president of Marketing Operations for Verizon Wireless, in a statement. “Messaging has become a natural and effective form of communication for our customers, and by offering these bundles we can offer our prepay customers access to the benefits of Verizon Wireless’ messaging services which, like their voice calls, run on the nation’s most reliable wireless network.”

Current prepay customers can add the new messaging bundle to their existing prepay plans directly from their handset, or on the company’s Web site or at any Verizon Wireless Communications Store or authorized retailer.
