The best Verizon deals for January 2025: free Galaxy S25 Plus, iPhone 16, and more

Apple iPhone 16: free with a trade-in, plus free iPad and Apple Watch with an unlimited plan at Verizon
Verizon's brought back one of its most generous promotions for its current stack of deals on the latest iPhone 16 series. Right now, not only can you get up to $800 with a trade-in (enough to get the standard iPhone 16 for free), but you can also claim a free iPad and Apple Watch SE as bonus gifts. If you'd prefer not to trade, then you can instead get a $430 discount with a new line on an Ultimate unlimited plan. Note that you will need to pay $15/mo extra for the accessory cellular lines if you claim both the free iPad and Apple Watch here.

Apple iPhone 15 Plus: free with an unlimited data plan at Verizon
If you don't mind going for an older device, then this week's Verizon deal on the iPhone 15 Plus is an outstanding choice. Right now, no trade-ins are needed at all to get this device for free alongside a new unlimited data line. And, unlike some similar promotions, this one is technically eligible with a new line on any unlimited plan - not just the super high-end Ultimate plan. That makes this particular deal one with a lower barrier of entry.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus: free with a trade-in and unlimited plan, plus free tablet and watch at Verizon
Verizon has just posted its initial round of deals on the new Samsung Galaxy S25 series and they're definitely worth considering. Right now, the maximum trade-in of up to $1,000 off is enough to get the mid-tier Galaxy S25 Plus for free alongside an Ultimate Unlimited plan and you can also claim a free Galaxy Watch 7 and a tablet if you're willing to spend up to $15/mo extra for the required cellular lines. Note that this deal is also available on the standard Samsung Galaxy S25 but the maximum rebate only reaches up to $800 on this device.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: $1,000 off with a trade-in and unlimited plan, plus free tablet and watch
And, if you'd prefer to go for the Ultra, then this week's Verizon deals also stretch to this stunning new flagship. The promotions are the same as those outlined on the Plus just above - meaning you'll be able to get a maximum saving of up to $1,000 on this device as well as a free Galaxy Watch and tablet if you're willing to pay for the associated cellular lines.

Google Pixel 9: free with a trade-in and unlimited plan at Verizon
As you'd imagine - this week's best Verizon deals also extend to the excellent line-up of Android flagships from Google and Samsung. First up, it's the Pixel 9 - which is available for free alongside a trade-in and new unlimited data plan at the carrier. As with this week's iPhone deals, Verizon will also accept older or broken phones as eligible for a trade so this is a good option regardless of what type of phone you have.

Samsung Galaxy S24: free with a trade-in and unlimited plan at Verizon
The Samsung Galaxy S24 is likely to be replaced soon but you can still get a great deal at Verizon this week. As with the above deal on the Google Pixel 9, you can trade in any model of smartphone in any condition to get a potential rebate of up to $830 off - more than enough to cover the entire cost of this device. As always, note that a new line on an unlimited data plan is required here.

Verizon: add a second line to your account for $10 per month
Verizon's latest deal allows existing customers to add a second line to their phone for just $10 per month. That's a second line with unlimited data, texts and calls for a super low price. Note, however, that you will need a dual-SIM compatible smartphone and this is a limited-time-only promotion - so don't hang around if you're interested.

Switch: get up to four lines for $25/mo
The perfect multi-line Verizon deal for those looking to set up some new lines at the carrier. This particular promotion will get you $180 off up to four lines over a 36-month duration when you bring your devices over. Unlike with other similar promotions at other carriers you can keep your phone number with this deal.

Switch: get $540 when you bring your own device
Don't want a new device? No problem - Verizon also offers up to $540 promo credit for those who bring their device over from a rival carrier. Note that this credit is applied over 36 months and only applies to unlimited data plans. You'll also need to be on the Unlimited Plus plan to get the full amount (you'll get $180 with the Unlimited Plus plan).

Plan deal: students save up to $25/mo with unlimited plans
Verizon offers a hefty discount for actively enrolled students, with a saving of up to $25 per month on the Welcome Unlimited plan. From the small print, it appears that you can have up to two lines with this promo and it also applies if you bring your own device. You will, however, need to log in to prove your eligibility.

Verizon home internet: Netflix and Max for 12-months
And, it's not just phones that are covered in this week's early Black Friday deals at Verizon. You can also get some superb freebies with the carrier's home internet packages, which by the way, are much cheaper if you're an existing mobile user. Right now, new customers will get a full year of Netflix and HBO Max on the house - two streaming service bundles that equate to over $200 in value. If you'd prefer, there's also an Xbox gaming bundle up for grabs with a gift card and accessories.

Verizon FIOS: Netflix and Max for 12-months
Sick of slow internet? If you can get it in your local area Verizon FIOS is a fantastic choice with its incredible fiber-optic speeds. Right now, there's also a great introductory deal for new customers across the diverse range of plans. Those signing up for one of the two basic plans will get Vix premium for 12 months. Those who go for either the high-end one-gig or two-gig plans will not only get Vix Premium for 12 months, but an additional 12 months of Netflix and HBO Max on the house.

Verizon Fios internet: from $25/mo when you bundle in a mobile plan
Verizon deals don't just stop at mobile devices, they also extend to home internet packages. If you're looking to cut down on your bills in their entirety, it's a great idea to consider switching up your pricey home internet setup to a more consolidated option. While Fios by itself starts at $49.99/mo as a standalone package, those with an existing Verizon mobile plan can bundle in their home internet for as little as $25/mo, a significant saving.

Apple iPad (2022): $180 off with a trade, or free with an iPhone purchase
Superb iPhone bundle option: The 10th generation iPad is a great choice for an everyday tablet at Verizon with the carrier's option to bundle it in for free alongside any eligible iPhone purchase. While the cheapest device in the range, this one is a great pick if you're looking for a quality do-it-all tablet for streaming, games, and productivity. It's not as powerful as the other tablets (see below), but it'll give you great bang for the buck.

Apple iPad Pro 11 (2024): $180 off with a trade, or $280 off with an iPhone purchase
The brand new iPad Pro 11 is available with a superb deal at Verizon this week, with either a healthy trade-in rebate of up to $180 or a massive $280 discount alongside an eligible iPhone purchase. With a powerful M4 chipset, gorgeous OLED display, and incredibly wafer-thin design, the latest iPad Pro is the slate of choice for those in need of serious power.

See this same deal on the 13-inch model.

Apple iPad Air 11 (2024): $180 off with a trade, or $280 off with an iPhone purchase
Looking for a premium Apple tablet but don't want to go for the super pricey Pro models? The latest iPad Air is a superb choice - especially since this week's Verizon deals also offer some great ways to save. Either trade-in for a discount of up to $180 or get a respectable $280 off with an eligible 5G iPhone purchase. Both are great deals, and enough to significantly cut the latest Air's price tag right down to size.

Apple iPad mini (2021): $180 off with a trade, or $280 off with an iPhone purchase
And, if you prefer a smaller-sized tablet, that same excellent Verizon trade-in deal is also available on the latest Apple iPad Mini. At just 8-inches, this tablet is much smaller and more bag-friendly than the other iPads. As you'd expect, however, it's still really powerful and features the same great design as its bigger siblings.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 7: free with Galaxy phones, or up to $180 off with a trade-in
Like with the Apple Watch SE, this week's Verizon deals are also offering an exceptional promotion on the brand new Galaxy Watch 7. Right now, you can bundle this one in with any of the latest flagship Samsung Galaxy devices as long as you're eligible and willing to pay the $5/mo extra for a cellular line. Note, if you want this device by itself, then you can also trade-in an older smartwatch for discount of up to $180 off.

Apple Watch Series 9: up to $180 off with a trade-in at Verizon
The Apple Watch series 9 is the latest and greatest smartwatch from the brand, complete with a superb always-on display, speedy chip, and innovative new health-tracking features. Right now, the carrier is offering a trade-in rebate of up to $180 on this model, which essentially matches the similar promotions you'll find on the iPads right now.

Apple Watch SE 2022: up to $180 off with a trade-in at Verizon
This week's best Verizon deals also cover the excellent Apple Watch SE - the more 'budget' orientated device of the two new Apple smartwatches. Verizon has experimented with giving this one away for free alongside the high-end iPhones in recent months but right now it's discounts are locked behind a trade-in. This is still a good deal if you need a new smartwatch but we'd recommend checking-in over Black Friday if you want to pair up a free Apple Watch with your shiny new Apple device.
