Verizon Wireless - 5 lines of service for under $100 (YMMV) $99

$99.00

Switched to Verizon and realized I may have hit the mother of all wireless deals so I figured I'd share:

Pre-requisite to get the best deal: Verizon FIOS 1GB service, The more your own devices you bring, the better the deal

1. Go to Verizon.com and browse to Unlimited 5G plans

2. Select to mix and match your lines, pick 5 (doesn't matter if you just need 3, it's cheaper to have 5) - https://www.verizon.com/plans/unlimited/

3. Select the plans you want, Play more gets you Disney+ for free, Do more gets you 600GB online storage and 1x travel pass per day (accumulates to 12 per year). The cheapest plan is 5G Start

4. The discounts to get you the price you want:

a. Bring your own device (Get more, Play more, do More - $500 split across 3 years or $13.88 per month). 5G Start is $360 per year or $10 off.
b. 1GB fios service will give you mobile+home discount, that's $10 per month per line
c. Automatic payment (Debit/Checking account is required or use Verizon credit card, this will give you $10 off per month per line and 2% off if VZ credit card is used)
d. Loyalty discount, 4+ lines, $20 off per month
e. Home+ wireless will take off another 10 bux off your FIOS bill as well (YMMV, mine went down to $69.99)

Keep in mind the fine print:

Every single line will have activation charges (any issues with your phones, call in and request them removed):

$35 activation charge and $10-$20 fees on top of that, per line

Now, if you want to buy a new phone, you are eligible to get up to $200 when porting in (the trade in values for phones are enhanced - keep in mind that using your own phone is $500, hard to beat that)

My current bill for 5 lines is well under $100, hope this helps.

My lines are: Play more, do more, 3x start 5G. I have BYOD on 4 of my lines ($13.88+ $13.88+ $10, + $10 off)

Bonus: They have a program to sign up for ESPN+ for $25 and then you can get NetFlix 4k plan for a year ($240 value)
Good Deal?

Don't sweat it, I've written up lots of things and occasionally get people making snarky comments because they're just miserable human beings. That's on them, not you.

2 notes:

- The end cost per month is probably around $115 after fees, etc, correct? Even though it varies, might be nice to give an estimated amount as many people will compare against their final amount they pay now.

- I have a similar deal but am on a grandfathered FIOS plan so my discount is lower, but qualify for one of the employment group discounts so comes to around $120/m for 5 lines before fees, and around $135 after all is said and done. You are correct that it's still one the best options for multiple lines for a non-MVNO provider.

Don't forget that Verizon Up as their rewards program has occasional decent freebies (free gift cards, etc) - sometimes per accounts and sometimes per line. I like these alot better than chasing those stupid T-Mobile Tuesday deals back when I was with Sprint.
Final cost, with fees for me currently is $96 with 1 line having a phone payment plan on it, removing that phone would drop me $12 to $84 and if I had a BYOD on that to $74.

So...5 lines for $74...if that's not a screaming deal with a free Disney + for life and 4K Netflix for $25 for a year instead of $240...like I can't dream up a better result.

as long as you can switch plans, and assuming you have less than 5 lines...pretty sure you can swing a good chunk if not most discounts.

Oh, the cost with fees is under $100. That is a crazy deal. I'll need to dig into this more to see if it would screw up my current payment plan (free iPhone pro max's after bill credits so want to be careful not to screw that up)

BYOD discounts are 3 year limited, so you gotta do some math. In your case it's 30x12x3 assuming $100 Verizon plan and not cheaper, saves you…oh $1080. Or if you go max all in at $74 with 2 phones in the fancier plans then $2016.

Accumulated the discounts over time but the basic discounts of fios plus wireless is an extra 5 bud, if you add fios after you already have wireless.

The NetFlix deal may be expired, search Verizon Netflix on this site

Start with the wireless discounts, then call back and ask them to see which discounts are available for you. The base fios plus wireless plan is $65 for 1GB, I just had fios first so I couldn't jump on that. Asks the reps to save you some $$$ and see what they can find available

Looks tempting. If i hadn't gotten all new phones with ATT free with trade-ins, I may have looked into this, since FIOS is already my provider.

I also want to add that you should check with your employer to see if you can get additional verizon discounts. I linked mine and was able to get $10 off per month
