Verizon Simplicity Plan: Bring Your Own Phone (BYOP) Guide

Verizon’s Simplicity Plan allows new customers bringing their own smartphone to get single-line unlimited service for $30 per month. This rate combines an Auto Pay discount with a limited-time Switch & Save discount for transferring an existing phone number from another carrier.

Plan Pricing & Discount Breakdown

The standard base rate for a single line on the Simplicity Plan is $55 per month. Two stacking discounts bring the monthly rate down to $30 per month plus applicable local taxes and fees:

Pricing Component	Monthly Amount	Details & Requirements
Base Plan Rate	$55 / month	Standard rate before promotional discounts.
Auto Pay Discount	-$10 / month	Requires paper-free billing and enrollment via ACH/bank account or Verizon Visa Card within 30 days.
Switcher Discount	-$15 / month	Requires bringing your own smartphone, porting your number, or uploading a qualifying bill dated within 45 days.
Final Price	$30 / month	Net price after both discounts are applied.

Key Included Features

Unlimited 5G Data: Unlimited 4G, 5G, and 5G Ultra Wideband data access for on-device smartphone usage.

Terms & Requirements

Line Port-In: The $15/month switcher discount requires bringing an active smartphone line from an eligible carrier.
Data Limits: Unlimited 5G Ultra Wideband data applies to on-device smartphone usage. Domestic roaming data outside core network coverage operates at 2G speeds.
Age Categories: While the promotional layout organizes information across broad age ranges (18–34, 35–49, 50–59, 60–69, 70+), the $30/month rate and core features remain standard across all adult age groups.

How to Claim the $30/mo Rate

Verify Phone Compatibility: Ensure your current smartphone is fully unlocked and compatible with Verizon's 5G network.
Obtain Porting Details: Request a Port-Out PIN and account number from your current mobile carrier.
Select Simplicity BYOP: Choose the Simplicity Plan on Verizon's online portal or in-store.
Set Up Auto Pay: Enroll in paperless billing and set up payments using an ACH bank transfer or Verizon Visa Card to lock in the $10/month Auto Pay discount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I keep my current phone number?

Yes. You can port your existing phone number from your previous carrier during checkout. Keep your old service active until the transfer is complete.

What happens if I don't enroll in Auto Pay?

Without paperless billing and ACH/Verizon Visa Card Auto Pay, your bill increases by $10 per month.

Are taxes and fees included in the $30 rate?

No. Government taxes, regulatory recovery fees, and local surcharges are added separately to your monthly bill.
