03. Free phones
04. Upgrades and plans
At the moment, Verizon's mostly about the iPhone 13 (see why in our iPhone 13 review) and the shiny new Google Pixel 6. There are also great deals for Android users on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Flip 3, both of which you're sure to stand out in a crowd with.
It's worth noting if you're on the hunt for one of the latest smartphone models, that many of the devices are on backorder right now, with delivery estimates ranging from approximately two to four weeks. So if your contract is up soon, or you want a new device in time for Christmas, it's worth getting an order in pronto.
If you're not so bothered about owning the latest model, there are also great options for grabbing yourself a free phone with a new unlimited plan, and we've also found some top deals if you're planning to switch to Verizon or simply want an upgrade.
