Verizon Updates Ultimate 5G Plan With More Data and New Features

[MacRumors]

Verizon today announced new features for its Unlimited Ultimate plan, which is the company's highest-tier plan at the current time.

Unlimited Ultimate customers now have access to 200GB of premium Hotspot data, which downgrades to 6Mb/s after that. Verizon is also offering unlimited data in more than 210 countries and destinations around the world, plus customers can choose one of 140 countries to get up to 300 minutes of calling from the US per month.

High-speed data worldwide is capped at 15GB per month, and after that, speeds are limited to 1.5Mb/s.

Verizon's Unlimited Ultimate plan is $100 per month, but it drops to $90 per month with Auto Pay enabled. It offers 5G UWB data, up to 4K video streaming, 50 percent off data plans for a watch and tablet, and talk, text, and unlimited data in Mexico and Canada.

The plan also supports adding streaming features like Hulu, Netflix, YouTube Premium, Apple Music, and Max for an additional monthly fee.

Verizon's other unlimited plans include Plus for $90 per month, and Welcome at $75 per month, with $10/month discounts available for Auto Pay.

I’ll keep my grandfathered in Apple-music-and-5g-including plan for $80. They keep trying to get me to dump that plan, and they just can’t manage it.

Absolutely ZERO reason to do biz with Verizon. Who actually pays these ridiculous prices? I'm still on my old Sprint cut your bill in 1/2 plan with unlimited everything that transferred to T-Moble.

How can you add more data to ‘unlimited’?

 

[TJFDenver]

I’m still rocking on my sprint 15/month unlimited plan from 2018

Let’s go me

How can you add more data to ‘unlimited’?

The data is always unlimited. The question is how much data do you get high speed vs slower speeds. It isnt unlimited speeds. You can download 3 TB worth of data, youll just be running at a slower speed at X limit.

I will never understand how people need anywhere close to that much data each month. I use ~1GB-2GB and I've been going on more apps without being on wifi in recent months compared to how I was before.

Hotspot. Streaming to TV. No need for separate internet service, especially for travel.

Streaming music or maps apps on cellular with eat data quickly.

I like the unlimited data in 140 countries part (I only get 5gb on my tmobile plan) but $100 a month for a single line is crazy. Im on a great grandfathered plan on tmobile so cant switch for me. but imo the best plan for the average person is a $25/$30 unlimited plan from Visible/USMobile which is 90% of what you get with the major carriers for a significantly cheaper price.

Even taking into those 24/36 month promo trade in deals (free $1000 iPhone with trade in) the major carriers offer, going with USMobile and financing through Apple or Samsung would still be cheaper than paying $80-$100 a month.

Get a data only sim/esim while abroad and you're covered with that part too.

Meanwhile AT&T throttles bandwidth to 128kb/s hotspot after allotment

 

[ghostface147]

Total wireless. That’s all I need.

Not a bad deal.

I have three iPhone 16 Pro on unlimited ultimate and pay $210/mo. This is just an added nice perk.

 

[mediacomposer]

$22.5/month through Visible for Unlimited on the same Verizon network, same data/call quality/speed - never paying these $90/mo scams ever again...

Who pays? I suppose people unlike you that aren't grandfathered in some old plan from some old defunct company who at the time took advantage of an unrealistic deal that can't be had today. That's who.

One thing I dislike about these topics is everyone comes out from the woodwork to gloat about their 10 year old plan at prices that no one can get today and think everyone is dumb for not getting as good a deal today.

I have 4 lines with shared 1 GB data for a grand total of $39 with US Mobile. If I need an extra gig during a month, it's only $2.

I can't wrap my head around the crazy prices people pay directly to the major carriers.

 

[fatTribble]

I will never understand how people need anywhere close to that much data each month. I use ~1GB-2GB and I've been going on more apps without being on wifi in recent months compared to how I was before.

For what it’s worth, my normal monthly data usage is usually about the same as yours.

When I go on vacation I take a lot of photos and videos. I like to upload them as much as possible in case something happens to my iPhone before I get home.

Streaming music isn't that bad - streaming video is.

I feel attacked!

That said, honestly the bundled Apple Music is the only reason I’m still with Verizon. That and they get better reception at my office than T-Mobile does, at least according to my coworkers.

If those weren’t factors, I’d have dumped Verizon ages ago. They even dropped the $10 autopay discount to $5 on grandfathered in plans. Annoying.

 

[TapDatApp]

This article, much like the promotional email I got from Verizon themselves, doesn’t seem to highlight how this differs from what was previously being offered…

 

[usagora]

How can you add more data to ‘unlimited’?

Because there are different speeds for data 😉

LOL @ the angry reaction - huh?! Sorry facts make you angry

I've been very happy after switching over to US Mobile. Switched over to prepaid a few years ago (first with T-mobile prepaid) and haven't looked back. I've easily saved $1k+ over that time.

Honestly, those grandfather plants don’t seem as good as people say it is honestly, I’m glad for the updated plans. It’s saving me money while giving me more features. People are just using them for bragging rights and no one is impressed

 

[jcshas]

I just received notice this month that our family Verizon plan (4 lines) is going up by more than $100 per month. Verizon, I think we’re done here.
