Verizon's new PopData sessions are time-limited windows of unlimited data transfer
There are two PopData session types available. A 30-minute session costs $2 while a 60-minute one will set you back $3. Once you start a PopData session, you'll be able to transfer as much data as you want through Verizon's network without the data counting towards your monthly data allowance.
Verizon's PopData sessions appear to be the perfect fit for when you're looking to download very large files on your smartphone or tablet in a short period of time. It's also the best way to ensure that watching a full-resolution movie while on the go will not eat up through your entire monthly data quota.
While T-Mobile and Sprint have introduced new unlimited plans that imply the conversion of videos to lower resolutions, Verizon is sticking to its philosophy of limited data buckets. With these new PopData sessions, however, Big Red is offering a bit more flexibility at times when you need to transfer high volumes of data through the carrier's wireless network.
If your data consumption has occasional peaks throughout the month, Verizon's PopData feature will be able to keep your monthly quota in check while also leaving room for unlimited data transfer to happen during certain intervals.
