FAQs
Does Verizon offer coverage in my area?
Verizon offers excellent coverage across the US, covering 70% of the country and 99% of the population with 4G signal or better. If you want to know if coverage is good in your area before signing up, you can make use of the brand's dedicated coverage tracker - just enter your zip code to see a breakdown of signal by 4G and 5G.
Does Verizon have a free trial?
If you have an eSIM-compatible smartphone, you can try out Verizon for free for 30 days with no obligation. Sign up by scanning a QR code on the Verizon site to start the free trial. You receive a temporary trial phone number and carrier service, but will also be able to see if the Verizon coverage works well for wherever you may visit. There's no commitment required and you have full access to Verizon's 5G network.
What is the Verizon return policy?
Generally, customers have 30 days to return items to Verizon should they change their mind, but the carrier usually charges a $50 fee for restocking. To organise a return, simply get in touch with the brand, let them know your intention to send your item back and they will arrange a prepaid label to cover the cost.
Verizon Saving tips
Bring your own device
Verizon lets new customers bring their old phone when they switch, keeping their old number and saving up to $540 across 3-year plans. Bringing your own phone is fee-free, plus you'll get monthly credit discounts applied depending on the plan you use.
For example, base Unlimited plans net you between $180 - $300 of credit across 36 months, whilst premium tiers like Unlimited Plus can let you save up to $540 (rewarded as $15 a month off your bill). You'll need to check that your phone is eligible and make sure your device is unlocked before you can access sign up deals.
Look for bundles
Verizon sometimes has bundle deals such as the option to buy a Samsung Galaxy S23 with other Samsung devices included like a smartwatch or tablet. See what's available and how it can suit your needs. Not everything will be essential for all people, but it's worth seeing what's out there to get even more savings.
Buy pre-owned
Verizon's certified pre-owned scheme can save you a lot of money on a phone. By buying a preowned device, you can avoid paying anything upfront for select models while also being able to sign up for a cheaper contract plan. Over the course of your contract, this can mean saving up to $500 on your phone and plan depending on the model you choose.

How we source coupon codes
Whether it's through our affiliate networks, the depths of the world wide web, or our connections with big name brands, here at TechRadar we use every tool at our disposal to source the latest codes. Our coupons team updates each of our pages multiple times a week with the most recent deals, including exclusive coupons negotiated by our Commercial team. We also include the latest sales info directly from retailers to offer the most up-to-date discounts around.
How we test coupon codes
Each coupon you find on TechRadar has been tested before being uploaded by our dedicated Deals & Offers teams. You’ll see a range of offers, from free shipping to student discounts, with savings available on all kinds of products & services. To make sure every coupon is ready to use, we don’t list any user-specific or one-time codes.
We also include all relevant information about coupons, such as expiry dates and any terms & conditions, near the ‘Get Code’ button. You can see the details for an individual offer by clicking on the ‘Terms & Conditions’ text below the code and expanding the code area.
What to do if a coupon code doesn’t work
Although we do our best to ensure all listed codes are tried & tested, sometimes coupons expire or terms & conditions are changed before we can update pages. Our team works hard to make sure our coupons are active and work as intended, and should you encounter an issue when using one, we’ll work just as hard to help.
The best place to start is by checking the requirements. Click “View terms and conditions” to expand the code section and see any guidance on your chosen coupon. For example, you may need to meet a minimum spend, add other items to your basket to qualify for a multibuy offer, or confirm that your chosen code applies to the items in your basket (i.e. 10% off laptops).
If you’re still having issues using your code, you can email our customer service team on coupons.techradar@futurenet.com. Include as many details as possible - such as which code you used and which coupon page it’s listed on so our team can address your issue as fast as possible.
How we make money
When it comes to coupons, TechRadar earns money via a commission-based model. For every brand we have a coupon page for, we’ve negotiated a deal that means we earn a percentage of total basket value in commission back from every order.
Using this model means we can offer our coupons to our customers free of charge. You won’t pay any fees to add your chosen coupon to your basket - you’ll simply pay the final order total once your discount has been applied.
