Verizon Mobile review

Verizon Mobile offers customizable plans within its three plans: Unlimited Welcome, Unlimited Plus and Unlimited Ultra. You can choose between Apple One, a Disney Bundle or enhanced shopping discounts with a Wal-Mart membership, depending on which plan you pick. You can also get discounts for bundling with Verizon 5G Home Internet.

Unlimited Welcome offers unlimited data, but your speed will be slowed down in times of congestion. Unlimited Plus and Ultra run on Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband, combining high-band (mmWave) and mid-band (C-band) spectrum.

What we like

  • Unlimited data – All three plans available with Verizon offer unlimited data.

  • Availability – Verizon mobile service is available in parts of 48 states.

  • Strong 5G network – Verizon uses its own extensive 5G network to power its service.

Things to consider

  • Data slowdown – The Welcome mobile plan offers unlimited data, but it will be slowed down in times of congestion.

  • Credit approval: Some offers may require a certain credit rating to receive the low pricing. Pre-paid plans are also available.

Verizon Mobile vs. other mobile providers

Starting prices for Verizon phone plans are about the same as Xfinity and Spectrum but cheaper than T-Mobile. Pay-as-you-go Verizon plans start at $35/mo., so those are a bit more expensive than other providers, but the average monthly price of a cell phone is considerably more expensive.

Verizon Mobile coverage

Verizon Mobile offers 4G LTE and 5G service in parts of 48 states. Verizon covers most of the East Coast, the South, the Midwest, up through Canada, and large parts of the U.S. West. Idaho and Nevada are the two states with the least coverage available.

Our final take on Verizon Mobile

Verizon Mobile is a solid choice for a cell phone carrier, especially if you are serviceable for their 5G home internet as well. You can save money monthly, as well as be confident that your cell will work in nearly all of the contiguous U.S.

Verizon Mobile FAQs

Are Verizon mobile plans good?

Verizon’s three unlimited plans are good, but if you want the peace of mind knowing you have a hotspot backup for internet, pick the Ulimate or Plus plans starting at $15 more a month.

No, you do not need to be an internet customer with Verizon before you get a mobile plan, but you will save money each month by bundles the two services.

Verizon has its own 5G and 4G LTE mobile network, covering part of 48 states.
