Verizon's Unlimited plan for 1 line costs $80 per month.

It rides on the Verizon network for coverage.

It includes unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, and unlimited high-speed data per month. You get 30GB of hotspot data. Video streams at 720p quality.

It is worth noting that the Verizon Unlimited Plus plan includes priority data. Having priority data means you will get slightly faster data speeds during times when the cellular network is busy, such as at sports games, concerts, or during rush hour traffic.

Taxes and fees are extra on this plan. I estimate they will add another $6.61 to the price. Your total montly bill will be about $86.61 per month.

Overall, I do not recommend the Verizon Unlimited Plus plan. It is too expensive for the features and data you get.

Pay As You Go International
- $

/day
/week
/month

Verizon’s Pay As You Go rates allow you to pay per minute, per text, and per MB of data that you use internationally.

You will only be charged international pay as you go rates if you choose to enable international service on your account, and you decide not to get Verizon’s TravelPass or Monthly International Plan.

If you do not enable international service, then you will not be charged the pay as you go rates.

Verizon’s pay as you go rates are as follows:

  • $0.99/minute: Canada, Mexico, Northern Mariana Islands, Guam
  • $1.79/minute: 130+ countries
  • $2.99/minute: 80+ countries
  • $0.50/text sent: all countries
  • $0.05/text received: all countries
  • $0.25/MMS sent or received: all countries
  • $2.05/MB: all countries

These rates may be reasonable for lighter international data users. However, they can be quite expensive for more moderate to heavy use. For example, using 1GB of cellular data costs $2,050 with Verizon’s pay as you go rate system.

Be mindful of Verizon’s pay as you go rates if you choose to enable international features and do not opt for either the daily TravelPass or Monthly International Travel Plan.
