FAQs
Is Verizon a good network?
Verizon offers excellent coverage across the US along with customizable plans to ensure you get what you need most. However, it can be more expensive than some rivals which can be less appealing depending on the region you live in. It's worth checking the coverage map to see what options are available for you, as well as consulting Verizon plans to see what suits your needs.
Can you buy something from Verizon without a mobile plan?
Yes, there's no need to commit to either a contract plan or a prepaid option as Verizon also sells phones with a one-time payment. If you solely want to buy a phone, you can do so without needing to be assigned a new cell phone number or commit to a new deal with Verizon.
Is it safe to buy a used phone from Verizon?
Verizon sells what it refers to as certified pre-owned phones. These are pre-owned devices that have usually been returned within the returns window due to customers changing their minds. Each phone has gone through a certification process and has been fully inspected to ensure it works properly. The refurbishment process may involve repairs to bring it back up to good quality. In all cases, Verizon-certified pre-owned devices are assigned a grade according to their cosmetic condition with some having scratches or dings due to past use.
Does Verizon have a free trial?
If you have an eSIM-compatible smartphone, you can try out Verizon for free for 30 days with no obligation. Sign up by scanning a QR code on the Verizon site to start the free trial. You keep your current phone number and carrier service, but will also be able to see if the Verizon coverage works well for wherever you may visit. There's no commitment required and you have full access to Verizon's 5G network.
How do I contact Verizon?
If you need to contact Verizon, you can do so by logging into the Contact Us section of its site for FAQs and other queries. From there, you can discuss a query with its web chat department. You can also ask for Verizon to call you by signing into your current Verizon account. If you prefer to call Verizon directly, that's also possible by calling 800-922-0204. The customer service line is open between 8AM and 7PM Monday to Saturday and 8AM to 5PM on Sundays. The website will also tell you how long the estimated wait time is before you dial.
Hints and Tips
Use Verizon's BYOD deals: Verizon offers a trade-in service that it calls Bring Your Own Device. By trading in a phone, you can save up to $540 on select plans depending on the device you have to trade in. The newer the device, the bigger the discount. Verizon accepts phones, tablets, smartwatches and laptops so there are quite a few options on how you can save by trading in a device you no longer use or plan on replacing.
Look for bundle deals: Verizon sometimes has bundle deals such as the option to buy a Samsung Galaxy S23 with other Samsung devices included like a smartwatch or tablet. See what's available and how it can suit your needs. Not everything will be essential for all people, but it's worth seeing what's out there to get even more savings.
Buy pre-owned: Verizon's certified pre-owned scheme can save you a lot of money on a phone. By buying a preowned device, you can avoid paying anything upfront for select models while also being able to sign up for a cheaper contract plan.
Buy accessory bundles when on sale: Verizon doesn't just discount phones - it also has sales on accessories. See how you could save by bundling together cases with chargers and other key phone devices. It's easy to overlook Verizon as a viable option for those smaller things you need in your life.
Check out the Free Cell Phones section: No one likes to pay upfront for a device which is why Verizon has a free cell phones section. Here, you can buy a new phone without paying anything upfront. You simply pay the monthly fee tied into the plan you've agreed to.

How we source coupon codes
Whether it's through our affiliate networks, the depths of the world wide web, or our connections with big name brands, here at TechRadar we use every tool at our disposal to source the latest codes. Our coupons team updates each of our pages multiple times a week with the most recent deals, including exclusive coupons negotiated by our Commercial team. We also include the latest sales info directly from retailers to offer the most up-to-date discounts around.
How we test coupon codes
Each coupon you find on TechRadar has been tested before being uploaded by our dedicated Deals & Offers teams. You’ll see a range of offers, from free shipping to student discounts, with savings available on all kinds of products & services. To make sure every coupon is ready to use, we don’t list any user-specific or one-time codes.
We also include all relevant information about coupons, such as expiry dates and any terms & conditions, near the ‘Get Code’ button. You can see the details for an individual offer by clicking on the ‘Terms & Conditions’ text below the code and expanding the code area.
What to do if a coupon code doesn’t work
Although we do our best to ensure all listed codes are tried & tested, sometimes coupons expire or terms & conditions are changed before we can update pages. Our team works hard to make sure our coupons are active and work as intended, and should you encounter an issue when using one, we’ll work just as hard to help.
The best place to start is by checking the requirements. Click “View terms and conditions” to expand the code section and see any guidance on your chosen coupon. For example, you may need to meet a minimum spend, add other items to your basket to qualify for a multibuy offer, or confirm that your chosen code applies to the items in your basket (i.e. 10% off laptops).
If you’re still having issues using your code, you can email our customer service team on coupons.techradar@futurenet.com. Include as many details as possible - such as which code you used and which coupon page it’s listed on so our team can address your issue as fast as possible.
How we make money
When it comes to coupons, TechRadar earns money via a commission-based model. For every brand we have a coupon page for, we’ve negotiated a deal that means we earn a percentage of total basket value in commission back from every order.
Using this model means we can offer our coupons to our customers free of charge. You won’t pay any fees to add your chosen coupon to your basket - you’ll simply pay the final order total once your discount has been applied.
