Verizon plans
Of course, all of the deals above won't matter much if you're not a Verizon member. If you're thinking about switching to the world's biggest wireless carrier, you may be asking yourself which Verizon plan is the best? Well, that's no easy answer, but we're here to tell you everything you need to know.
Suffice to say, every cell phone user is different, and finding the perfect plan for you is going to involve looking at a number of factors, such as budget, data usage, and your own personal checklist of must-have features. That being said, we're here to break down all of Verizon's best options and give you the tools needed to choose the perfect wireless plan for your needs.
The best Verizon cell phone plans
Play More Unlimited
Best for streaming
Verizon's Play More Unlimited plan is like the more expensive Get More Unlimited plan but at a slightly lower cost, making it the perfect Verizon plan. It's a great option if you're looking for a new 5G cell phone plan or even a family plan because the plan comes with a ton of entertainment perks along with HD streaming. For instance, you'll get the Disney bundle, six months of Apple Music, plus Apple Arcade and Google Play Pass for as long as you use the plan. With this plan, you'll also get all the high-speed data you could ever want, including 50GB of premium data, as well as access to Verizon's 5G Ultra-Wideband and 5G Nationwide networks. Mobile hotspot access includes 15GB on Verizon's 5G Nationwide or 4G LTE network, which is a solid amount of hotspot data to last you through the month.
Play More Unlimited also has international benefits, including unlimited Mexico and Canada talk, text, data, and international texting. For one line on this plan, you can expect to pay $80 per month (assuming you've signed up for paper-free billing and AutoPay). For three lines, you'll pay $55 per line ($165 total), and for four lines, you'll pay $45 per line ($180). For a limited time, if you bring your own device you'll also get up to $504 off over 36 months, enough to make one line of the Play More plan just $66 per month. This deal could expire at any time, so act fast.
Get More Unlimited
Best for premium users
With the ultra-premium Get More Unlimited plan, you'll get total access to Verizon's 5G network, including 5G Ultra Wideband (available in select cities) and its broader 5G Nationwide network. Along with unlimited talk, text, and data, you'll have 50GB of premium data, meaning that you likely won't see your data speeds slow down anytime soon.
This plan includes a generous 30GB of high-speed mobile hotspot data on Verizon's 5G Nationwide and 4G LTE network (the most of any plan), allowing you to use your smartphone as a hotspot when you don't have Wi-Fi. When it comes to international features, Verizon includes unlimited texting from the U.S. to 200+ countries. You're also able to talk, text, and use unlimited data when traveling in Mexico and Canada, but if you plan on going anywhere else, you'll need to buy a TravelPass to be able to use your phone. Where this plan's perks really shine, though, is when it comes to entertainment. Verizon's Get More Unlimited plan comes with HD streaming, and to go along with that, a subscription to the Disney bundle (Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus) that everyone on your account can use. You'll also get Apple Music included along with Apple Arcade or Google Play Pass. Top that off with 600GB of Verizon Cloud storage and discounts on other connected device plans.
Visible Plus
Best no-contract plan
Not interested in signing a contract and eager to avoid hidden fees? Verizon-owned Visible is one of the best options for simplicity and value, and the new Visibile Plus plan offers loads of bang for buck. For only $45 a month, you'll get Verizon's 5G and 4G LTE coverage, as well as unlimited data, calling, and texting. It's a fantastic offer at an almost unbeatable price. Visible's plan even throws in unlimited mobile hotspot data, which is extremely convenient if you like to use your smartphone as a hotspot when WiFi is shaky, or you're not at home. Though hotspot speeds are capped at 5Mbps, you should be able to stream SD videos, listen to music, and do your regular browsing.
If you need international service, the Visible Plus plan comes with unlimited talk and text in Mexico and Canada, international calling to over 30 countries, and international texting to over 200 countries worldwide.
Prepaid Unlimited Plus
Best prepaid plan
If you prefer to go prepaid, then Verizon's Prepaid Unlimited plan is the best one to get. You'll get 5G total access (5G Ultra-Wideband and 5G Nationwide), unlimited calling and texting, as well as discounts to help bring the price down—including a loyalty discount of $5 per month that kicks in after three months of service (and increases after nine) and an AutoPay discount of $10 per month. It's an especially great plan if you're in a 5G Ultra Wideband coverage area since you'll be able to stream in 4K UHD, and you'll get unlimited 5G Ultra Wideband mobile hotspot data—yes, that's right, unlimited.
When you're not in a 5G Ultra Wideband coverage area, you'll still get 25GB of mobile hotspot data on Verizon's 5G Nationwide and 4G LTE networks. After you've used up that amount, speeds will slow to 600Kbps for the rest of the month. You'll also get SD streaming, and when it comes to international use, you'll have unlimited calls, texts, and data when traveling in Mexico, Canada, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as unlimited text to 200 international destinations.
Start Unlimited
Best bang for the buck
Not sure where to start when it comes to cell phone plans? Start Unlimited. This is one of Verizon's most straightforward unlimited plans. It may not come with premium data but will give you everything that you need. This means 5G Nationwide and 4G LTE unlimited data, text, and talk. If you want access to 5G Ultra-Wideband (Verizon's fastest 5G network), you can pay $10 extra per month, but most people will be happy with what the plan already offers. You'll get a lot of the same features with this plan as you would with other core Verizon plans, making it a perfect choice for someone who really just wants unlimited data at a better price.
With Start Unlimited, you'll still get international benefits, including talk, text, and data in Mexico and Canada and international texting, alongside 5GB of premium mobile hotspot data. For a single line, you'll pay $70 per month (after the paper-free billing and AutoPay discount) plus taxes and fees. The price gets better when you add more lines, all the way down to $30 per month with five or more lines.
So which Verizon plan is best for you?
Though Verizon offers excellent coverage to a lot of Americans, don't forget to check out its coverage map before signing up. If you decide Verizon is the carrier for you, the Play More Unlimited plan is the best choice for most people. It's not the most expensive plan (nor is it the cheapest), but it offers everything that you need out of a cell phone plan and more. With Play More Unlimited, you'll have 5G total access (aka the best speeds you can get), as well as 50GB of premium data, so you're guaranteed not to be slowed down. Along with unlimited data, text, and talk, and international features, you'll get the Disney bundle and several other perks to try out.
If you're looking for a plan with a better price, then Visible stands out amongst the crowd. This all-digital carrier is owned by Verizon, so you'll have the same great coverage (that includes 5G), along with unlimited data, text, and talk for only $30 per month. The best part is that there are no contracts or hidden costs or fees as you'll find with other carriers. Whichever plan you get, you'll be with one of the nation's best wireless carriers and can count on reliable performance.
