Verizon’s Unlimited Plan and the Details

Last summer, Verizon split their main unlimited plan into three other ones:

$75 de-prioritized Go Unlimited
$75 prepaid version of Go Unlimited
$85 all-in Beyond Unlimited

While not the cheapest unlimited plans on the market, all three offer particular strengths, and are backed by the nation’s most powerful network. We’ve broken down Verizon’s two main unlimited plans below, and picked our favorite.

Verizon Beyond Unlimited

The Great

• Unlimited HD streaming
• 15GB hotspot allowance
• Unlimited talk and text in Mexico and Canada
• Amazing coverage

The Not

• Pricy at $85
  Taxes and fees not included in priceNot much data allowance abroad

The Conclusion

While it’s hard to recommend an $85 unlimited plan with so many less expensive options out there, the fact is that Verizon’s Beyond Unlimited is backed by the most robust network in the nation.

What’s more, Beyond Unlimited is chocked full of nice-to-have features like a generous 15GB hotspot allowance, unlimited talk and text in Mexico and Canada, and HD streaming. Pair that with Verizon’s superior coverage, and you’ve got yourself a winner.

The Deats

Full HD streaming
With Beyond Unlimited, you can enjoy HD streaming to your heart’s content. If video quality is important to you, the plan makes sense.

15GB Hotspot Allowance
One of the key benefits included with Beyond Unlimited is the plan’s generous 15GB hotspot allowance. To learn more about using your phone as a hotspot, check out this article.

Not the Cheapest
It’s inarguable that there are a host of less expensive unlimited plans out there, especially among MVNOs. Still, how many of them can boast Verizon’s coverage? Answer: none.

Verizon Go Unlimited

The Great

• Excellent network

The Not

• 4G LTE subject to data de-prioritization
• Video limited to SD
• Talk and text to Mexico and Canada not included
• Hotspot limited to 600kbps

The Conclusion

Verizon also offers the slightly more stripped down Go Unlimited. It includes 4G LTE data, but it’s subject to de-prioritization, anytime. If you live in a place where there are lots of people on the Verizon network, this could potentially translate to slower speeds.

Also, video on Go is limited to standard definition (480p), while the hotspot is offered at glacial 600kbps speeds. For all of these reasons, we recommend Beyond Unlimited over Go Unlimited. That said, if you’re looking for a less expensive way to enjoy unlimited data on Verizon’s amazing network, Go Unlimited may be just what you’re looking for.

The Final Thought

Its hard to justify the Beyond but due to the de priortization it is a must. I tried and tried to save that $10 but it is inevitable. They say that its 15gb vs 22 gb to deterioration, this reported has deemed that a lie.
