• Change it up anytime.

Introducing myPlan:

Verizon is putting an end to bloated bundles and a “one size fits all” approach to wireless plans. Now, customers can pay for only what they need. You’re in charge. You decide what goes into your plan and what stays out. You choose how it changes – you’re never locked in. Everyone gets to customize their own plan, so each person, or family member, gets what they want – and everyone can save.

It’s as easy as 1, 2…and that’s it. With a price that’s guaranteed.

First, choose your Unlimited network option. Select from Unlimited Welcome with fast, reliable 5G; or Unlimited Plus with 5G Ultra Wideband, our fastest 5G, 30 GB of premium mobile hotspot data, and up to 50% off a watch, tablet, hotspot or Hum plan. Plus, for a limited time, the price you pay for your Unlimited Plus monthly plan is guaranteed for three years (price guarantee excludes taxes and fees).²

Get all of this on America’s most reliable 5G network³ with the strength that gives more customers an amazing network experience. Unlike others, Unlimited Plus has no smartphone data caps, won’t slow you down, and won’t deprioritize your data.

After you choose your network, choose your favorite content and services. We like to call them “perks” because at just $10/mo per perk⁴ you’re saving on every single one, every single month. It’s that simple.

You can also start with our most popular plans and customize it to make it your own.

• Get everything Apple all in one place. Choose Unlimited Plus with Apple One that comes with Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and iCloud+. Stream a catalog of over 100 million songs and expertly curated playlists with Apple Music, watch award-winning series and films on Apple TV+, play over 200 fun games with no ads or in-app purchases on Apple Arcade, and get plenty of storage for your photos and files, plus premium features like Private Relay and Hide My Email from iCloud+.
• If you love a content library chock full of incredible movies, shows and sports, match Unlimited Plus with the Disney Bundle perk that features Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu.⁵
• If online shopping and saving on entertainment is more your style, pair Unlimited Welcome with a Walmart+ Membership that also includes free delivery from stores and Paramount+.
  

Also, for the first time ever, we’re offering the Apple Music Family plan to our customers, which gives you and five of your family members access to 100 million-plus songs, expertly curated playlists, immersive Spatial Audio, and much more. Apple Music subscribers can also enjoy the new Apple Music Classical app at no extra cost.

Adjust, tweak and put your own spin on any plan you choose, anytime from the comfort of your phone with the My Verizon App.

How much does it cost?

myPlan starts at just $30/line/month when you sign up for Unlimited Welcome with four or more lines with a $10/line Auto Pay discount, plus taxes and fees.⁶ From there, you decide exactly what goes in and what stays out of your plan, so you only pay for what you want. And, our best Unlimited plan comes with a three-year price guarantee for a limited time (price guarantee excludes taxes and fees).²

Why it’s important:

myPlan changes the game. Others talk about phone “freedom,” but in reality they’re just pushing customers into their most expensive, bloated plans – which are limiting, don’t allow for changes, and where customers end up paying for things they don’t want or need. With myPlan, however, you get what you want, exactly how you want it. So everything is on your terms with the flexibility to change it up anytime. The network, the perks, the savings – all without compromise. All in your control. Because we recognize everyone is different and should be able to choose exactly what they want down to the line level. Plus, you get unlimited 5G data⁶ on Verizon’s award-winning network.

Who it’s for:

For anyone who doesn’t want to be told what they need or forced into a plan that’s already decided for them. And for everyone – new and loyal customers alike. If your best phone plan is one where you’re in charge and you want to be on Verizon’s fast and reliable 5G network, then myPlan is your plan. It’s easy, simple, and convenient to change your plan in the MyVerizon App – no calls or visits needed, no hidden change fees or shenanigans.
