None of the Verizon Wireless plans charge you when you don't use it that day.
They have one plan that doesn't charge you anything except a per minute rate even when you do use it.
They have four different plans available now:
Prepaid Basic ($0.00 daily access on days you use it for voice calls):
$0.25 per minute anytime of day to any number in the U.S.A.

When using networks that are not owned by Verizon Wireless, you are roaming. Roaming accounts for 7% of Verizon Wireless' coverage. Yet this is a small number, if you do encounter roaming, you are billed accordingly. Roaming voids any unlimited minutes/messaging and charges a domestic per minute rate of $0.20 per minute, which is the cheapest ever offered.
Messaging Bundles!
$10.00 per month - Unlimited Mobile to Mobile Messaging + 250 to send / receive to non-Verizon Wireless customers.
$20.00 per month - Unlimited Messaging to anyone, any network in the U.S.A.
