The best Verizon deals for May 2025: Galaxy S25 Edge, iPhone 16 Pro Max, and more

Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max: free with an unlimited plan, plus free iPad and Apple Watch
Verizon's current deal on the iPhone 16 Pro is the best I've seen on this stunning flagship. Unlike with previous promotions, right now you don't even need to trade-in to get this high-end device for free alongside a new line on an Ultimate unlimited plan. While the plan required here is the priciest option at the carrier, not having to trade-in is a superb bonus here. You can also take advantage of another promotion that lets you throw in a free iPad and Apple Watch SE right now, though note that you will have to pay extra for accessory cellular lines.

Apple iPhone 16: four free devices plus an unlimited plan for $25/mo per line
Looking for one of the latest iPhones but don't want the high-end plan at Verizon? The carrier's current promotion on the standard iPhone 16 is a fantastic choice. Like the iPhone 16 Pro Max, this one is currently free without a trade on an unlimited plan, but it doesn't require the Ultimate or Plus plan. With the basic Welcome Unlimited plan, it's possible to get up to four devices for free on a plan that costs just $100 for four lines. Not bad!

Apple iPhone 16e: $5/mo with an unlimited plan, or up to $600 off with a trade-in at Verizon
Verizon's opening iPhone 16e promotion features two deals to check out. You can either trade-in an old device to potentially get the device for free thanks to a maximum rebate of up to $600 off, or you can instead just get it on an unlimited line for $5/mo. Both are pretty good but it's worth noting that Verizon is currently giving the standard iPhone 16 away for free on either a Plus or Ultimate plan. Unless you're going for a line on the basic Welcome unlimited plan, then it definitely makes sense to opt for the pricier flagship device!

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: free with a trade-in and unlimited plan at Verizon
Verizon's opening Galaxy S25 Edge deal is relatively standard for the carrier. You'll have to trade in an old device to get a discount on this shiny new flagship, and naturally, you'll need a line on an unlimited plan, too. With that said, the maximum rebate of up to $1,099 that covers the entire cost of the device is a little better than the usual $1,000 off we see from the major carriers.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: free with an unlimited data plan, plus free tablet and smartwatch at Verizon
Even though there's a new Samsung flagship in town, Verizon's deals on the slightly older S25 series are still worth checking out. In fact, today's deal on the Galaxy S25 Ultra is the best I've ever seen. No trade-ins are currently needed to get this device for free alongside a new line on an Unlimited Ultimate plan and you can also throw in a free tablet and smartwatch as bonus gifts if you're willing to pay for their cellular lines.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus: free with an unlimited plan, plus free tablet and smartwatch
If you like the idea of a free Samsung Galaxy device without a trade-in but need a deal that's eligible on the Plus plan, then consider the Galaxy S25 Plus at Verizon. Unlike with the above deal on the Galaxy S25 Ultra above, you don't need the highest-end unlimited plan tier to be eligible for a free device here - only the middle tier. You can also throw in that same free Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Tab S10 FE as bonus gifts if you're happy pay a little extra per month for the cellular lines.

Google Pixel 9 Pro XL: free with new line, plus free Pixel Watch 3
It's not just the Galaxy S25 Ultra that's received a great deal with this week's Verizon promotions - you'll also be able to snag the Pixel 9 Pro XL for free alongside a new line on an Ultimate plan. This is again the first time we've seen this premium device for free without the usual trade-in rebate. As with the deals on Samsung devices, you can bundle in a free smartwatch and tablet with this one - in this case, a Pixel Watch 3 instead of a Galaxy Watch 7.

Google Pixel 9: free with new line, plus free smartwatch and tablet
Like the look of the above Verizon deals but don't want a line on the expensive Ultimate plan? Today's promotion on the Pixel 9 could be a good option. You can get this device for free on a Plus line instead, which should be a lot easier on the wallet over the duration of a 36-month plan.

Verizon: three-year price guarantee on all plans
Verizon's latest promotion for its plans isn't super exciting but it is extremely handy. Both new and existing customers can currently get a three-year price guarantee on all plans at the carrier right now when they either sign up or renew. This is useful, but note that it only applies to the baseline plan cost rather than taxes, which could be subject to change outside of the carrier's control.

Verizon: add a second line to your account for $15 per month
Verizon's latest deal allows existing customers to add a second line to their phone for just $15 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: get a free Samsung TV or Meta Quest 3S
Verizon's deals don't just cover phones this week, you'll also find great freebies available with its 5G Home internet packages. Right now, new customers can either get a free 43-inch Samsung TV or a Meta Quest 3S VR headset when they switch over from a rival carrier. Of the two, I'd probably go for the headset here as the TV is on the small side but having an extra TV could be handy depending on your needs. Both gifts are worth $300 so they aren't small bonuses by any stretch of the imagination.

Verizon FIOS: get a free Samsung TV or Meta Quest 3S
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, those same freebies are available with these super-speedy home internet packages. For a limited time only, you'll be able to get either a free Samsung 43-inch TV or a Meta Quest 3S headset, both valued at around $300.

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 (2025): $180 off with a trade, or $500 off with an iPhone
Superb iPhone bundle option: The latest iPad with the super-charged A16 chipset is a great choice for an everyday tablet at Verizon, not least because the carrier offers bundle discounts alongside the latest iPhones. 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 $500 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 $500 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 $500 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 $320 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 Watch Series 10: up to $180 off with a trade-in, or $500 off with an iPhone at Verizon
The Apple Watch series 10 is the latest and greatest smartwatch from the brand, complete with a bigger display, speedy chip, and a slimmer design. Right now, the carrier is offering a trade-in rebate of up to $180 on this model or the chance to get a $500 discount when you bundle it in with a brand new iPhone.

Apple Watch SE 2022: up to $180 off with a trade-in, or $300 off with an iPhone 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 is currently offering either a trade-in rebate of up to $180 or a $300 discount when you pair if up with an iPhone. Note, Verizon has given this one away for free alongside phones before so it could be worth waiting it out if you're interested in that type of promotion.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 7: up to $180 off with a trade-in, or $350 off with a phone
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 to get a nice $170 discount on the watch. Note, if you want this device by itself, then you can also trade-in an older smartwatch for discount of up to $180 off.
