The best Verizon deals for December 2023: free iPhones, discounts on plans, and more

Apple iPhone 15 series: get a free iPad and Apple Watch with an unlimited plan
Still available: Verizon's headline Black Friday deal is still up for grabs, with the carrier offering a free 10th gen iPad 10.9 and a free 2nd-gen Apple Watch SE with an eligible 5G iPhone purchase. These freebies alone are worth $780 by themselves so this is a significant addition to the host of already-awesome trade-in rebates on the iPhone 15 series. The caveat here, however, is that you'll still need an unlimited data plan to be eligible for this saving. 

Apple iPhone 15 Pro: up to $1,000 off with a trade-in, plus free iPad and Apple Watch
Here we go folks - this is our favorite trade-in rebate available right now on Verizon. While the maximum saving of $1,000 off is nothing new on the excellent iPhone 15 Pro, Verizon is currently letting you hand over any iPhone model to achieve that maximum rebate. That means you can potentially hand over an old beater and get a shiny new Phone 15 Pro in return - plus, the free Apple Watch and iPad that we've already outlined above. Note, this promo is only eligible with a new line on an unlimited data plan (upgraders can get up to $830 off).

Apple iPhone 14 Plus: get four devices with an unlimited data plan for $120 per month
Good for families: One of Verizon's best deals this week offers four iPhone 14 Plus handsets for just $40 each - and that's with a line on an unlimited data plan. Yes, the bundled plan is the carrier's more basic 'Unlimited Welcome' tier but this is still an amazing offer. Previously, an iPhone 14 Plus bundled with a single line would have cost close to $100 by itself so you get some incredible savings here.

Apple iPhone 14 Pro: free with an unlimited data plan
No trade-in needed: Don't have an old iPhone ready to hand over for a trade rebate? One of the best Verizon deals available right now is on the slightly older iPhone 14 Pro. While stocks last, you can currently get this device for free alongside a new line on an unlimited data plan, which is a superb "freebie" if you're coming over fresh to Verizon. Note, this promotion was originally available on the 14 Pro Max but that's sold out now so we'd highly recommend picking this one up sooner rather than later if you're interested.

Select Android devices: get a free Galaxy Tablet and Galaxy Watch 6 with an unlimited plan
Black Friday deal still available: More into your Android devices? Good news - Verizon is also giving away some serious freebies with select flagships from Google and Samsung. As with on the latest iPhones, you'll be able to bundle in a free Galaxy Watch 6 and a Galaxy Tab S9 FE on the house when you pick up a phone alongside a new line on an unlimited data plan. This stacks on top of the current trade-in rebates of up to $1,000 on the Google Pixel 8 Pro, the Galaxy S23 series, and the Google Fold.  

Google Pixel 8 & Galaxy S23: buy one get one free with an unlimited data plan at Verizon
Verizon's brought back an old favorite with this particular Holiday special. Right now you can either buy a Google Pixel 8 or Samsung Galaxy S23 outright alongside a new line on an unlimited data plan and get a whole second device for free. While you'll still need to pay for those pricey unlimited data lines, you're saving up to $800 on a second device here, making it a great option for couples or families.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: up to $1,000 off with a trade-in, plus free tablet and smartwatch
Another one of our favorite trade-in options in the Verizon Black Friday sale this week, you can currently hand over any Samsung model to get a whopping $1,000 off the stunning Galaxy S23 Ultra. This is one of our favorite phones here at TechRadar - and winner of the TechRadar reader's choice awards for 2023, so getting such a big price cut is definitely worth considering. You can also bundle in that free Galaxy Watch 6 and a Galaxy Tab S9 FE - two freebies that are worth well over $800 by themselves. See this deal on the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus.

Google Pixel 8 Pro: up to $1,000 off with a trade-in, plus free tablet and smartwatch
Another recommended trade-in for today's Black Friday Verizon deals: the excellent Google Pixel 8 Pro. This flagship is fresh off the presses but you can still get it for free right now by trading in any Google device. Plus, as with other flagships, you can bundle in that free Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Tab S9 FE to get some serious freebie action. As with other devices, however, you will need a new line on an unlimited data plan to be eligible for the best possible trade-in here.

Samsung Galaxy S23 FE: free with a new unlimited data plan
No trade-in needed: If you're looking to discard the trade-in rebate altogether, one of the best choices in this week's Verizon deals is the Galaxy S23 FE. This device is almost as good as its full-fat Galaxy S23 sibling and you don't even need to hand over an old device to get it for free right now - just a new line on an unlimited data plan. Note, you can also bundle in those same freebies as featured on the other Android flagships right now. 

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).

Switch: $200 gift card when you buy a device over $699
Alternatively, those who are looking to pick up a device at Verizon can get a $200 gift card if they port their number over from another carrier. According to T&Cs, this one is eligible with devices over $699.99 in value and needs an Unlimited Plus plan. It does, however, stack with the usual trade-ins and freebies that you get otherwise with Verizon's deals on phones.

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 Fios internet: Get Amazon Echo 10 or $200 Amazon gift card when you switch
A Black Friday special that's still available this week, new customers who pick up a line on the premium 1Gig Fios home internet package will be able to bundle in some serious freebies. Available is your choice between an Amazon Echo 10 smart speaker or a $200 Amazon gift card on top of a $100 Verizon gift card - all great free gifts.

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 (2022): Up to $180 with trade-in at Verizon
The 10th generation iPad is now on sale at Verizon and available with a nice little trade-in rebate if you pick it up with a plan. 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 Air (2022): Up to $180 with trade-in at Verizon
Verizon deals on tablets this week also include excellent options on the latest Apple iPad Air 2022. This is the newest entry in the range and a superb pick if you like the idea of a mid-range slate with a decent mix of features and a reasonable price. As with all other Apple devices a nice little trade-in rebate is available on this device, which is handy if you're bundling up. 

Apple iPad mini (2021): Up to $180 with trade-in at Verizon
And, if you prefer a smaller-sized tablet, that same excellent Verizon trade-in deal is also available on the latest Apple iPad Mini. At just 8-inches, this tablet is much smaller and more bag-friendly than the other iPads. As you'd expect, however, it's still really powerful and features the same great design as its bigger siblings.

Apple iPad Pro 11 (2022): Up to $180 with trade-in at Verizon
Save yourself more than a few bucks with this week's Verizon deals on the latest new Apple iPad Pro 2021 models. Trade in an old device and get yourself a saving of up to $180 on your new slate. If you're looking for a powerful LTE tablet, this is one's a great choice as it not only has a super powerful M2 chip inside but one of the best displays you'll find on a tablet anywhere.

Apple Watch Series 9: up to $180 off with a trade-in at Verizon
The Apple Watch series 9 is the latest and greatest smartwatch from the brand, complete with a superb always-on display, speedy chip, and innovative new health-tracking features. Right now, the carrier is also offering a trade-in rebate of up to $180, which can significantly cut down the usually pretty high asking price for these premium wearables. 

Apple Watch SE 2022: up to $180 off with a trade-in at Verizon
And, those same excellent Verizon deals are also available on the Apple Watch SE this week - the more 'budget' orientated device of the two new Apple smartwatches.

It's a great option, and one that's available with either a decent trade-in rebate of up to $180 right now.
