Today's best Verizon deals ahead of Black Friday

Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max: free with a new line at Verizon
While it's the promotions on the latest iPhone 16 range that are likely to steal the headlines this week, my favorite iPhone deal right now at Verizon is on the slightly older iPhone 15 Pro Max. This flagship still holds up great for 2024 and the carrier is currently giving it away for free alongside a new line on either an Ultimate or Plus line. It's the fact that you can get this device for free alongside the slightly cheaper Plus plan which makes this deal so potent as the deals on the latest 16 series all require the Ultimate plan at the carrier right now. So, not only can you save some cash on your plan here, but you'll also get a device worth $1,099 on the house without the usual trade-in criteria.

Apple iPhone 16: $23.05 free with an unlimited plan, plus free iPad and Apple One at Verizon
If you're looking for the latest model then the good news is you don't even need to trade in to get the excellent iPhone 16 for free right now at Verizon. Eligible with a new line on an Ultimate Unlimited plan, you'll be saving a massive $829 on device costs here. In addition, the carrier is also throwing in six months of Apple One for free and an iPad 10.9. Note, however, that you will need to pay for the additional accessory cellular line ($10/mo) if you want to claim the free iPad here.

Apple iPhone 16 Pro: $27.77 $5/mo with an unlimited plan, plus free iPad and Apple One at Verizon
And, if you're interested in the Pro models, then you'll also find great deals on the iPhone 16 Pro right now. There are two options for getting a discount on the phone here; a new line on an Ultimate Unlimited plan will automatically drop the price to $5/mo, but you can also trade in for a maximum rebate of up to $1,000. The trade-in will effectively cover the entire cost of the device here and you can also bundle in that free iPad and get six months of Apple One for free, as with the deal on the standard iPhone 16 above.

Google Pixel 9: $5/mo with new unlimited line, plus free Galaxy Watch 7 at Verizon
One of the best Verizon deals on the entire site right now is on the Google Pixel 9 - an excellent Android flagship that's available for just $5/mo alongside a new line on an Ultimate Unlimited plan right now. As an additional bonus, you can also bundle in a free Galaxy Watch 7 alongside your device right now ($5/mo extra for the smartwatch line). Note, if you'd prefer to trade in, then you can instead get up to $1,000 off the excellent Pixel 9 Pro or Pixel 9 Pro XL.

Verizon 5G home internet: $200 gift card and 12-month Disney Bundle at Verizon
Verizon's deals don't just cover mobile devices - it also has great options for those looking for home internet. The 5G Home Plus plan in particular comes with a generous $200 Verizon gift card, 12 months of Vix Premium, and an additional six months of the Disney Bundle for free. In addition, there are also excellent monthly discounts available for existing mobile customers who want to bundle home internet with their existing package.

Verizon Black Friday deals: FAQ

When will Verizon Black Friday deals be available?

Black Friday 2024 falls on November 29th but Verizon usually releases its Black Friday deals a little ahead of the event. Last year's sale included a 'flash preview sale' around a week ahead of the actual calendar date so we expect the carrier to do something similar this year. Generally speaking, however, it's good practice to be on the lookout for Black Friday deals from early November onwards because plenty of retailers offer up good deals well ahead of Black Friday proper.

What Verizon Black Friday deals should I expect?

Verizon should have a decent mix of phone deals, internet deals, and various bundle deals on Black Friday itself. Verizon's Black Friday deals tend to set the tone for the next twelve months of promotions at the carrier so the chances of seeing something pretty new is relatively high.

Last year's Black Friday deals at Verizon, for example, included a free iPad and Apple Watch with all eligible iPhone purchases - a deal that's since become pretty common at the carrier. We expect similar Black Friday deals this year, with free devices being thrown in with the latest Android and iPhones alongside big trade-in rebates and various other discounts that require an unlimited data plan.

Does Verizon have Black Friday deals for existing customers?

Yes - Verizon's Black Friday deals are nearly always open to both new and existing customers. Back in the day, it was common for carriers to reserve their best deals for new customers switching over from other carriers but that's less of the case now.

That said, it's highly likely that the best Verizon Black Friday deals will require you to either sign-up for, or open a new line on, one of the carrier's pricey unlimited plans. For example, most of the best deals this year have been locked to a new line on the higher-end Ultimate Unlimited plan, which runs for 36-months and costs $90 per month for a single line. With that said, there are also deals on slightly older or cheaper phones that don't require this super high-end plan to be eligible.

Are Verizon Black Friday deals available in store?

Yep, Verizon Black Friday deals are usually available in store as well as online and they're usually exactly the same deals.

It's worth noting that there are sometimes online exclusives at Verizon, which are clearly marked on the carrier's website. This is generally the way with all Verizon deals, not just those over Black Friday so it's worth checking the various product pages online before you commit to purchasing either way.

If you're interested in visiting in-store, Verizon stores generally open at 8am on Black Friday. You should, however, enter your zip code here and check your local stores' timetable, just in case it's different.
