Verizon is finally hopping on the bandwagon and competing more evenly with AT&T and T-Mobile’s truly unlimited plans. This is partly in effort to make the upcoming, new 5G service more attractive. The cost will remain the same for basic plans, but customers can pay a little more for the “Get More” plan, which includes unlimited monthly “premium data.”
The plans previously known as Start, Play More, Do More, and Get More Unlimited are now adding 5G to their name. The Get More plan ($90/ month for one line with autopay) previously included 50GB of premium data each month. Once customers reached that limit, they’d be subject to throttled speeds during times of network congestion. The new 5G Get More plan does away with that monthly cap.
The new 5G Get More plan also includes a boost in premium mobile hotspot data: 50GB, up from 30GB. The Play More and Do More plans now offer 30GB compared to 15GB. The only thing not changing is for customers on the basic Start Unlimited plan – they won’t have access to the faster Ultra Wideband network at all, just slower Nationwide 5G. That shouldn’t be noticeable now, but when C-band is finally in use, it could be a significant difference!
