Verizon Wireless said today that, effective Aug. 13, it will no longer offer traditional two-year contracts to new customers. Instead, new customers will be able to choose between one of four different data plans (that all come with unlimited voice minutes and text messages) that range in price from $30 per month to $80 per month. Current customers will be offered the new plans as well, but they may also keep their current plans "with some restrictions."The new plans, whose names are cozy and familiar, are:

Small ($30 per month for 1GB of data)
Medium ($45 per month for 3GB of data)
Large ($60 per month for 6GB of data)
X-Large ($80 per month for 12GB of data)
