Verizon myPlan is a customizable mobile plan that lets you choose a base unlimited plan and add only the perks you want.
If you’ve ever felt stuck with a mobile plan that gives you stuff you don’t even use, I get it. I’ve been there too. That’s actually what got me curious about Verizon’s myPlan.
It sounded different. And after going through how it works, I figured I’d break it down here in plain language.
Just a real explanation you can use to decide if it’s worth it.

What is Verizon myPlan?
Verizon myPlan is a mobile plan you can actually customize. You pick a base plan, then you choose the perks you want to add — or skip them altogether.
You’re not paying for Disney+ if you don’t even watch Disney+. That kind of thing.
Also, the base plan comes with a 3-year price lock. That means what you pay now will stay the same for three years, unless you change it. Just keep in mind that taxes, perks, and third-party apps might still change.
How it works
Here’s how you build your own plan. It’s actually kind of simple.
Step 1: Pick your base plan
There are three options:
- Unlimited Welcome – It’s the cheapest one, with basic unlimited everything.
- Unlimited Plus – You get faster speeds, 5G Ultra Wideband, and 30GB of hotspot data.
- Unlimited Ultimate – Best for heavy users. Includes more premium data, better hotspot, international features, and more.
I’d say Unlimited Plus is the sweet spot for most people. But that depends on your usage.
Step 2: Add perks (only if you want to)
Each perk is $10 a month. You can choose stuff like:
- Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ (with ads)
- Netflix and Max (with ads)
- Apple One
- Walmart+
- And a few others
Pick what you’ll actually use. Don’t add the rest. You can always change perks later if you want.
What’s included by default?
Every base plan includes:
- Unlimited talk, text, and data
- 5G and 4G LTE access
- Roaming in Mexico and Canada
- Free international texting
- Spam protection with Call Filter
Also, if you bundle Verizon mobile with their home internet, you save around $15/month. I’d say that’s worth looking into if you’re using both.
Can you get a phone with it?
Yes. You can actually get a free phone when you sign up for any myPlan. Doesn’t matter if your old phone is in bad shape. Verizon lets you trade in any phone, in any condition.
They support all major brands — Apple, Samsung, Google.
Anything to watch out for?
Nothing major, but here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Use Auto Pay and paper-free billing to get the lowest monthly rate. Otherwise, it’ll cost more.
- The 3-year price lock is only for the base plan. Add-ons, perks, and taxes can still change.
- Make sure to double-check coverage in your area before switching.
Who is Verizon MyPlan good for?
In my opinion, this plan is perfect if you:
- Want to avoid paying for stuff you don’t use
- Like the idea of locking in your price for a few years
- Prefer building your own plan instead of getting forced into bundles
- Want the flexibility to change perks over time
If that sounds like you, myPlan might be worth a shot. I like that it feels more transparent. And less controlling than the old plans we’re used to.

My final thoughts
I don’t think every plan is for everyone. But this one stood out because it gives you control without making things complicated.
If you’re comparing plans or just want something flexible, this is worth checking out. Not sponsored or anything, just sharing because I know how hard it is to choose a mobile plan without all the promo nonsense in the way.
Anyway, hope this helped. Let me know if you have questions — drop them in the comments.
