Voyager Mobile Launches in New York State, Introduces 4G LTE Service, New Talk Plan

Those who think that wireless Internet pricing is still way too high from big mobile providers like Verizon Wireless, AT&T and Sprint have cause to be excited as Voyager Mobile officially made its service available to New York State residents on Tuesday. Offering unlimited wireless plans starting at only $17 per month, Voyager aims to bring affordable wireless service to the U.S., already offering service in a number of states.

At the same time, Voyager has also introduced 4G LTE service as part of its unlimited service, boasting download speeds of six to eight megabits per second — nearly twice the speed of Voyager's existing 4G WiMAX service.

With the inclusion of 4G LTE, the prepaid provider has also started offering a number of high-profile Android devices — such as the Samsung Galaxy S III, Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE, HTC EVO 4G LTE, and LG Viper 4G LTE — to take advantage of the new service. All phones are available contract free, meaning phones are bought outright with no subsidies.

Voyager Mobile's plans cater to three different demographics: those who only want basic voice service, those who talk and text and those who want data capabilities. As such, for unlimited talk, users pay only $17 per month. For only two dollars more, customers can tack on unlimited text as well. Lastly, unlimited talk, text and data – "Unlimited Everything" — costs only $39 per month.

Voyager Wireless launched earlier this year, in May. The network operator experienced some issues during its initial planned launch of May 15 due to a malicious network attack to its primary website. However, after a short postponement, the Voyager Wireless network launched successfully.

Initially, the prepaid provider only offered two plans: the unlimited talk and text plan and the unlimited everything plan. However, after listening to customer feedback, Voyager now offers its $17 unlimited talk plan.
