- Verizon is offering a free Unlimited Welcome line for 36 months via monthly credits to select existing customers as a loyalty offer.
- Unlike past “free” lines that merely masked multi-line discounts, this BYOD offer appears to be legit.
- While the main line is free, it still carries taxes and fees (around $6–$10 per month), and after 36 months, you must cancel the line or pay the standard rate based on your total lines.
If you’re a current Verizon subscriber, you may have received an email or text alert about a new promotion that lets you add a free line for the next 36 months via monthly account credits. Not only have I seen a few reports about this offer on Reddit, but my wife received the same text offer last night. It’s unclear how widely this loyalty offer is being circulated, but if you’re one of the lucky recipients of the deal, you might be wondering if there’s a catch. As you’d expect, there’s definitely some fine print here, but this is actually looking to be a solid deal.
While Verizon has advertised “free” lines before, usually it turns out that it’s just for the fourth line and is only free because your discount is now high enough to cover the difference. This offer is a bit different, as the loyalty reward will cover the entire cost of an Unlimited Welcome plan for a three-year period, after which you’ll be responsible for paying the difference minus any multi-line discounts.
