It's been a good while since we've seen a buy-one get-one-free promotion at Verizon but the carrier has just launched a surprise offering ahead of this year's Black Friday today.

From now until next Wednesday, both new and existing customers at the carrier can get an additional Google Pixel 8 or Samsung Galaxy S23 for free when they purchase a first outright alongside a new unlimited line.

In case you didn't know, this is essentially a type of deal that the carrier used to run regularly around a year or go alongside the usual trade-in rebates. Generally speaking, these days Verizon tends to prefer accessory discounts alongside its phone deals. This buy-one-get-one promo is super handy for couples or families, however, so could be a fantastic option depending on your desired line setup.

Note that these aren't only the early Verizon Black Friday deals that are available right now. We've rounded up a few more to check out just down below. You can also see our main Black Friday phone deals page for options from other carriers. Alternatively, see our Black Friday deals hub for a birds-eye view of the event as a whole.
