Verizon Raises Unlimited Ultimate Price $5 for New Sign-Ups, Adds Two Bundled Services

Existing subscribers keep their original price because Verizon’s three-year lock applies only to the base rate at signup.

Overview

  • Verizon quietly increased the Unlimited Ultimate plan by $5 per month for new activations, with retail staff reportedly briefed days in advance.
  • The new monthly cost is $85 for one line, $77.50 per line for two lines, $63.33 per line for three lines, and $55 per line for four lines.
  • The plan now includes Verizon Family Plus for device monitoring, limits, and roadside help, and Identity Secure for password management and identity alerts, and customers cannot remove these add-ins.
  • Those two services would typically cost about $15 a month together, so the change lowers the combined price for people who want both.
  • Current Unlimited Ultimate users keep their prior rate under the plan’s fine print, and Verizon left prices for Unlimited Plus and Unlimited Welcome unchanged.
