How to Cut Your Verizon Bill in Half

Is your Verizon phone bill more than $40 a month? If so, you're probably wasting a ton of money.

The average person only uses about 3GB of data per month - which means you're likely paying for data you never use. You can save up to $600 a year per line without sacrificing network quality or coverage.

Switch to a Cheaper Carrier

Love the Verizon network but not the prices? You do have options - check out MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operator). MVNOs are smaller carriers that use the same network as the big guys but give you discounted rates.

Choose from Verizon MVNOs like Ting, Reach Mobile, and Twigby. All of these carriers provide service on the Verizon network, so you won't have to sacrifice the quality you expect just to get an affordable price.

Verizon MVNO Benefits

Cut your wireless bill in half: MVNO plans typically cost up to 50% less than the major carriers.
Keep your network: Your service is on the very same network Verizon uses.
Customize your plan: MVNOs tend to give you more flexibility in choosing what fits your needs and budget.
No contracts: No commitment necessary with alternative wireless carriers.
Keep your phone and your number: Plans are BYOP - bring your own phone - so you won't have to buy a new device if you don't want to.

Cheap Verizon Phone Deals

Avoid sticker shock on your Verizon phone, too. Shop refurbished cell phones to save half or more off retail price.

Refurbished Phone Benefits

Save 50%: Get your favorite smartphone brands in great condition for half of new.
Great value for the money: Brand new models usually only have minor upgrades from the model before. Buy a slightly older phone without sacrificing the features you love most.
You stay in control: Buying your phone outright is a great way to keep your freedom. Switch carriers whenever you find a better deal on a cell phone plan.
