So, let’s dive into the specifics of Verizon’s myPlan package, the intricacies of the add-on perks, and the overall cost. We explain everything you need to know here.
What is Verizon’s myPlan?
When it comes to its wireless business, Verizon is no stranger to changes, having built up service plans, renamed them, and then throwing them out and repeating the process multiple times in just the past several years alone. You may remember Go Unlimited or The New Verizon Plan or the 55+ Unlimited Plan. Our colleagues atAndroid Policedo.
In May 2023, the company took on another (the latest as of this writing) revamp of its postpaid offerings under the branding ofmyPlan.
In the US, T-Mobile has led the way by bundling free Netflix into its wireless plans starting in 2017. AT&T and Verizon followed suit for a while. AT&T’s relatively short-lived ownership of WarnerMedia meant it could chuck in a free HBO Max membership with a subscription to its 5G service - before Verizon decided to adopt this à la carte approach.
Verizon myPlan
Verizon’s myPlan is a customizable and flexible wireless service plan that caters to individual customer needs. It allows for tailored plan options with the potential for cost savings, especially for those with multiple lines or fewer initial perks. myPlan also integrates streaming service bundles, like Netflix and Max, for an additional $10 per month.

Here’s what you’ll pay for with up to four lines on each plan:

HBO Max: How much does it cost after the price hike?
Here is what you need to know about HBO Max - as it exists today - including how much it costs after the new price hike.
What perks can you get with myPlan, and what do they cost?
You may purchase as many perks as you want to go along with your myPlan or none at all. Some perks can be used to augment your wireless service plan - particularly useful if you’re on a lower-tier plan without all the goodies that Unlimited UItimate has, but need some bonuses to tide you over for a month or two - while others bring you subscriptions (and increasingly derivative sub-subscriptions) to major digital services at discounted rates so long you’re getting your 5G from Verizon.
This perks list is current as of December 2023.

Keep in mind that myPlan covers wireless service and these perks - you may be paying even more to finance a device and get an enhanced repair package like AppleCare+.
