Verizon is crediting up to $1,020 toward the iPhone 18 Pro with an eligible trade-in on an eligible Unlimited plan, paid as monthly bill credits over 36 months.
Skip it if: you might leave Verizon within three years, or you're on a cheaper plan that doesn't qualify.
Verizon Fios: up to a $200 gift card
New customers get a $100 Amazon gift card with Fios 300 or 500 Mbps, or $200 with 1 Gig or 2 Gig. Fios has matching upload and download speeds, and 1 Gig and faster plans have a 5-year price lock. Keep service about 65 days to get the card. Bundling Verizon mobile and home internet takes $15/mo off.
Skip it if: you're outside the Fios area (mostly the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic). Check your address first.
Visible+: Verizon's network for much less
Visible is owned by Verizon and runs on its network, including 5G Ultra Wideband on Visible+. With code 5OFF5, new members who port in a number pay $30/mo for Visible+ or $40 for Visible+ Pro for 5 years (offer ends Oct 30). A Visible line also takes $15/mo off Fios.
Skip it if: you want a free phone with your plan; Visible is mostly bring-your-own-phone.
What Verizon offered last Black Friday
For phones, Verizon's 2025 holiday headline was the Pixel 10 Pro XL free with a trade-in and eligible Unlimited plan, plus a free Pixel Watch 4. Through Cyber Monday it offered up to $1,100 off with a new line and trade-in, or up to $1,200 off with a new line, and CNET counted over 30 deals still live on Dec 2. Some Verizon retailers ran buy one iPhone 17 Pro, get $1,100 off a second.
For home internet, Fios 1 Gig and 2 Gig sign-ups could pick a free 43-inch Samsung QLED TV, a Galaxy Tab S10 FE, a Marshall speaker or a $200 Target gift card through Cyber Monday. Earlier in November, 5G Home Internet came with a Nintendo Switch or a Galaxy tablet.
Should you wait for Black Friday?
If you're upgrading an iPhone, today's $1,020 credit is already close to last year's best, so there's little reason to wait. If you're adding a line or switching to Verizon, last year's new-line offers were a bit larger. For Fios 1 Gig or 2 Gig, last year's free gift beat today's $200 card for many households, so waiting a few weeks is reasonable.
Already a Verizon customer?
- Expect fewer offers. Many of last year's best Verizon deals needed a new line; existing customers often found upgrade offers weak and some waited for December.
- Use trade-in credit. Trade-in offers on your current plan are usually the best route for an upgrade. If a promo doesn't show up, see what to do when a promo isn't honored.
- Fios customers: ask about a current plan or a retention offer. See Fios deals for new vs. existing customers.
- Use Verizon Dollars. Verizon's loyalty program pays 3% back each month toward devices and accessories.
- Paying too much? Visible runs on the same network from $25/mo.
Black Friday vs. Cyber Monday for Verizon
Verizon kept most of its holiday deals running from Black Friday week through Cyber Monday last year, and some new-line offers peaked on Cyber Monday. If you're switching, Cyber Monday was as good as Black Friday.
Questions
Is Verizon offering any special deals right now?
Yes: up to $1,020 off the iPhone 18 Pro with a trade-in, the Pixel 11 Pro from $599.99 or less with a trade-in, up to a $200 Amazon gift card with Fios, and $15/mo off when you bundle Verizon mobile and home internet.
Is Black Friday the best time to buy a cell phone?
Usually it's one of the best. Carriers pair flagship phones with free watches or tablets around Black Friday, as Verizon did last year with the Pixel 10 Pro XL and Pixel Watch 4. Most savings come as bill credits over 36 months, so they only pay off if you stay.
Will Verizon do a Black Friday sale?
Verizon's 2026 Black Friday deals aren't out yet. Right now it's taking up to $1,020 off the iPhone 18 Pro with a trade-in, and Fios comes with up to a $200 Amazon gift card. Last year the holiday lineup included a free Pixel 10 Pro XL and Pixel Watch 4 with a trade-in, and a free TV or gift with Fios.
Are Verizon Black Friday deals good for existing customers?
Often less so. Many of last year's best offers needed a new line, and existing customers on Reddit complained the upgrade deals were weak. Existing customers usually do best with trade-in offers on their current plan, or by waiting for December.
Should I buy the iPhone 18 Pro now or wait for Black Friday?
Today's up-to-$1,020 trade-in credit is already close to last year's best holiday iPhone savings (up to $1,100 with a new line and trade-in). If you're adding a line, waiting may add a little; if you're upgrading, there's little reason to wait.
Does Verizon Fios have a Black Friday deal?
Not yet for 2026. Fios currently gives new customers a $100 Amazon gift card with 300 or 500 Mbps, or $200 with 1 Gig or 2 Gig. Last Black Friday, 1 Gig and 2 Gig sign-ups could pick a 43-inch Samsung TV, a tablet, a speaker or a $200 Target gift card.
Is it cheaper on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
Verizon kept most holiday deals running from Black Friday week through Cyber Monday last year, and CNET counted over 30 still live on Dec 2. Some new-line offers were biggest on Cyber Monday.
