Verizon Unveils $25 Plan: Free iPhone 17 Pro Now Included

Verizon is officially raising the bar for holiday promotions, launching a direct challenge to everyone else. The carrier just announced an aggressive new offer built around one incredible deal: a free, top-tier flagship phone with no trade-in required.

The available phones include the Apple iPhone 17 Pro, the Samsung Galaxy S25+, and the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL. This exciting offer is yours when you switch and get up to four lines on the Unlimited Welcome plan, starting at just $25 per line each month (with all taxes and fees added separately).

The Unbeatable Flagship Phone Handout

Verizon is treating this not as a brief seasonal special, but as a "new era" for their sales events. Where other companies often hand out free base-model phones, Verizon is aiming for the premium market by offering devices that sit right at the top of their lineups.

Here's what you need to know about the main offer:

• Who Qualifies: Individuals and families switching to Verizon can get up to four lines on the Unlimited Welcome plan.
• The Cost: $25 per line per month (plus taxes and fees).
• The Free Phones (Keep Your Old Device!): Every line qualifies for one of these phones at no extra cost:
  • Apple iPhone 17 Pro
  • Samsung Galaxy S25+
  • Google Pixel 10 Pro XL

This is an offer with no trade-in necessary, making it one of the simplest and most generous holiday promotions from a major carrier this year.

More Devices and Wearables Get Holiday Savings

The discounts don't stop at smartphones. Verizon is rolling out hardware savings across their entire device range for both new and current customers:

• Motorola Razr: Free when adding a new line to the Unlimited Ultimate plan.

Free Tech Gifts for Home Internet Users

To push its competitive advantage further, Verizon is linking its home internet services with big tech bundles. New customers who sign up for certain Home Internet plans can pick one major gift at no charge:

• Pick 1: Samsung 43-inch Q7F QLED TV
• Pick 2: Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE 5G
• Pick 3: Nintendo Switch™

Other Home Internet Perks:

A Clear Move Against Competitors

This set of holiday promotions is obviously designed to shake up the market. By offering premium, flagship phones like the iPhone 17 Pro—instead of just the cheapest models—and pairing them with a competitive $25/line plan, Verizon is showing how aggressively it plans to win customers this holiday season.
