Best Verizon Unlimited Plans

It used to be that Verizon maintained a sprawling menu of unlimited data plans, but in more recent years the carrier has slimmed its offerings down to three: the entry-level $65/month Unlimited Welcome, the mid-tier $80/month Unlimited Plus, and the premium $90/month Unlimited Ultimate. The latter two of these include unlimited premium data and generous mobile hotspot allowances, while Unlimited Welcome is decidedly more basic. 

In this article, we’ll outline our favorite all-around Verizon unlimited plan (Unlimited Plus), our favorite Verizon unlimited family plan (Unlimited Ultimate), and our favorite budget Verizon unlimited plan (Unlimited Welcome). We’ll also explain how Verizon’s myPlan add-on system works, in addition to telling you what to expect in terms of Verizon coverage.

Verizon myPlan Add-Ons 

Verizon’s myPlan add-ons system allows you to pick and choose any perks you want to add to your plan, each of which costs $10/month (with the exception of Apple One, which costs $15/month). These perks include everything from a Disney streaming bundle to an Apple One subscription to 100GB of mobile hotspot data. 

Here’s a full list of what’s available at the time of this article: 

• YouTube Premium
• Disney Bundle (Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+)
• Netflix & Max (With Ads)
• Apple One (Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and iCloud+)
• Walmart+ membership

• Additional 100 GB of Mobile Hotspot 
• $15 monthly credit for +play subscriptions like Netflix, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Max, Paramount+, and Master Class 
• Additional 2TB of cloud storage

The myPlan system is a good way to avoid paying for stuff you don’t want, as it allows you to get specific with your add-ons. And it can save you money too—for example, a  Disney Bundle Duo Premium subscription costs $19.99/month through Disney itself, whereas Verizon offers it for just $10-15/month. 

Verizon Coverage Map

Verizon offers some of the best coverage in the U.S., with a 4G LTE network that spreads to almost every part of the country, and a fast-growing 5G network. Broadly speaking, Verizon’s 4G coverage network ranks second in area covered behind AT&T, while its 5G network is two spots behind T-Mobile and AT&T. However, where Verizon does have 5G coverage, you can expect super-fast speeds. Verizon has focused the build-out of its 5G network on its so-called 5G Ultra Wideband, which makes use of millimeter wave technology to deliver quick data speeds and low latency.
