www.WirelessFederation.com/news:TracFone Wireless, the America Movil’s MVNO has introduced a new prepaid unlimited offering at $45 per month that includes unlimited text messaging and 30 MB of data. The service is operational on Verizon’s network and available at participating Wal-Mart stores. The new offering looks like another major action in the battle for limitless wireless service.

The analysts reveal that this new offer will surely “stun industry participants”. Shares for the operators like Leap Wireless and MetroPCS have already seen a drop as the competition increases.
The new offer is also likely to affect Leap and Boost Mobile, Sprint Nextel’s prepaid unit, adversely.
Verizon spokesman James Gerace reportedly said that the carrier would make sure its network would not be overwhelmed if the TracFone offer results in a similar spike in traffic. Gerace also said that the new plan would not make Verizon change its own retail pricing. Verizon offers an unlimited postpaid offering for $100 per month.
