Verizon slashes Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus Mobile Hotspot service pricing, its now FREE

It looks like Verizon may be trying to make the Palm Pre Plus and the Palm Pixi Plus a little more appealing. We have been seeing the price come down over the past few weeks with various third party retailers, and even on sale a few times with Verizon directly. But this deal is a little different from the rest. The pricing of the phones seem to have remained the same at $149.99 and $79.99 for the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus respectively, however the price of the Mobile Hotspot add on service has been lowered. And by lowered I mean it has been slashed, all the way from $40 to $0.

Of course, yes its April Fools day and we should not believe anything we see online. That is why I have included two screenshots (see below). Otherwise, PreCentral is reporting that Verizon has also lowered the pricing of the phones to $49.99 and $29.99. That said, I cannot see, nor verify those prices. [Update] The Verizon website has now confirmed $49.99 and $29.99 pricing on the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus. Price drop is official.
