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?

VZ FIOS is east coast only, right? Those additional discounts might make it worth it, but $500 over 3 years is not an attractive BYOD incentive. I'd stick to trade-in deals there.

Is this only for new customers that are bringing their existing numbers/phones?

Can you get Fios internet discount with lower speed plans? We are on Fios 75/75 and stream with different devices on all TV's. No issues at all. Have zero use for 1GB streaming plan and would be a waste.

Thanks. Actually 1Gbps is only $20 more/month so not that bad. In some areas it's a lot higher. Like I mentioned all our TV's use a different streaming device and it's been great using just 75/75. Would never need 1Gbps. 3 years though, long commitment ha!

3 years is the discount breakdown, you can leave any time. Essentially Verizon is promising you something, you owe them nothing.

Is everyone who's thumbing it down just too lazy to try or lives outside of fios area and hates not to be part of a deal? I am open to hearing better deals.

Makes me feel like I wasted the time writing this up.

You failed to note the requirement of being a FIOS customer in your title. Hence it's getting thumbs down

Did say YMMV and 3rd line down, in bold notes FIOS being a big part of it. To make it any easier I should just send the $$$ directly to the value shoppers.

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.
