Verizon pulls a T-Mobile and offers a price lock guarantee and a free phone!

Verizon just went full T-Mobile, only this time, it’s actually permanent. Starting now, Verizon price lock guarantees are stretching to three full years, and they’re tossing in a free phone, too. Yep, even for existing customers.

That’s the real surprise. Most carrier promos feel like bait: “Switch now, or miss out.” Verizon’s saying screw that. No countdown timers, no footnotes. If you’re already on a myPlan or myHome plan, you’re in. And if you upgrade or change tiers? The clock resets. Another 3 years. Just like that.

You also get a free phone when you trade in—any phone, any condition, as long as it’s Apple, Google, or Samsung. Cracked screen? It doesn’t matter. Plus, myHome internet customers get routers included at no extra cost.

It’s a big move that’s clearly aimed at cleaning up Verizon’s image after some shaky years. T-Mobile built a name off wild promos and price locks. Now, Verizon’s taking it one step further by baking those promises into the plan itself—no opt-ins, no gimmicks.

Oh, and they’re not stopping there. You’ll get free satellite texting on eligible devices, over 40% off streaming bundles, and another $15 off per month if you bundle mobile and internet.

Honestly? For a company that’s always felt kinda rigid, this is weirdly generous. So, if you’re thinking about switching carriers, this price lock Verizon is offering could be rather tempting.
