Verizon has apparently dropped the service fee’s for its webOS 3G Mobile Hotspot service. The service is now a free download for new and existing Verizon Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus users. Prior to today, Verizon billed customers an extra $40 a month for the mobile hotspot capability.
Engadget was able to get a statement from Verizon to confirm the service change:
“Customers who purchase or upgrade to a Palm Pre and Palm Pixi will get the Mobile Hotspot for free. Existing customers who already have the service will find charges on their next bill will be $0.00.”
