The best Verizon deals for October 2026: new iPhone 18 Pro, Google Pixel 11, Galaxy Z Fold, and more

iPhone 18 Pro: up to $1,200 off with a trade or phone and plan for $80/mo, plus iPad and Apple Watch
Verizon's opening iPhone 18 Pro deal breaks down into two avenues. The first is the traditional trade-in rebate of up to $1,200, which is eligible with the carrier's myPlan unlimited plans for both new and existing customers. Secondly, there is the option to bundle a device with the carrier's new 'Simplicity Pro' with the plan and device included for $80/mo. This second option will let you upgrade your device free of charge 12 months from now. Finally, both of these deals are eligible with a 'free' iPad and Apple Watch as bonus gifts. I say free in quotation marks here, because you need to take out relevant cellular lines on each device to be eligible for a freebie.

Apple iPhone 17: get a device included with unlimited plan for $65 $35/mo at Verizon
Verizon's Simplicity plans have been around for a few months now, but this is the first really juicy deal I've seen related to this plan and one of the latest iPhones. Right now, you can bundle in the standard iPhone 17 with a Simplicity Plus plan for just $35/mo, which is extremely competitive considering this is an unlimited plan with upgrades included. The plan itself is $30/mo usually, so with this particular promo you're paying just $5/mo for a device that still holds up great for 2026.

Google Pixel 11 series: up to $1,100 off with a trade-in, or plan and phone for $50/mo at Verizon
Verizon's opening Google Pixel 11 deals lean heavily on the carrier's new 'Simplicity Plus' plan, which lets you bundle a Pixel 11 Pro with an unlimited data plan for just $50/mo without a trade-in. Alternatively, you can trade in for an excellent discount of up to $1,100 with a new line on one of the carrier's older myPlan unlimited plans. On top of that, Verizon is also offering a new Google Pixel Watch 5 and Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE as bonus gifts if you take out a service line for these accessories.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra: device and plan for $75/mo (no trade) at Verizon
Verizon's renewed focus on its all-in-one Simplicity plans has meant there are some really good bargains available on the site right now. For example, this deal on the super high-end Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. Currently, you can take home this device for just $75/mo in total when you pair it up with the Simplicity Pro plan. Usually, this combination would cost well over $100, but the carrier is offering a whopping $33/mo discount with this particular device. Not bad, and it will entitle you to another upgrade down the line if you stick with the plan long-term.

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 $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 FIOS: get a $200 Amazon gift card at Verizon
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, Verizon is throwing in a $200 Amazon gift card for new customers - which is a pretty nice little freebie if you're looking for speedy internet. Note that FIOS packages start at $35/mo, but you may want to look at the carrier's new 'Verizon One' plan if you're already a customer, because you can combine a mobile line and home line for just $70/mo.

Apple iPad (2025): up to $600 off with a trade-in
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 good discounts on this device. While the cheapest iPad 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. Note that you can still get a great standalone deal on this device with an impressive trade-in rebate of up to $600 off.

Apple iPad Pro 11 (2025): up to $600 off with a trade-in
The brand new iPad Pro 11 is available with a superb deal at Verizon this week, with a massive trade-in rebate of up to $600. This is a brand new model, with a gorgeous OLED display, super-thin design, and excellent M5 chipset. It's a very pricey buy, so this week's Verizon deals are a welcome sight.

Apple Watch Series 12: up to $300 off with a trade-in at Verizon
The Apple Watch series 12 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 $300 on this outstanding watch - although you can actually get the device included when you bundle it together with one of the latest iPhones.

Apple Watch SE 3: up to $300 off with a trade-in 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 a compelling trade-in rebate of up to $300, which is technically enough to cover the entire cost of the entry-level cellular model.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 9: up to $430 off with a trade-in at Verizon
Like with the Apple Watch SE, this week's Verizon deals are also offering an exceptional promotion on the brand new Galaxy Watch 9. Right now, you can get an impressive discount of up to $430 if you trade-in an older model. You can also bundle this one in with some Samsung Galaxy phones right now - an excellent bonus gift if you're looking to upgrade.
