Verizon outs new Above Unlimited price tier, let's you mix it with Go and Beyond plans
To the existing $75 and $85 monthly plans, respectively, it will now have a whopping $95/single line tier. If you use a lot of data or travel far and wide, however, its perks might definitely be worth it, judge for yourself the huge difference it makes for $10 more.
| Go Unlimited | Beyond Unlimited | Above Unlimited | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price for 1/2/3/4 line(s) | $75/$130/$150/$160 | $85/$160/$180/$200 | $95/$180/$210/$240 |
| Speed de-prioritization | Any time | After 22 GB | After 75 GB |
| Unlimited talk&text | US, Canada and Mexico | US, Canada and Mexico | US, Canada and Mexico |
| Hotspot allowance | 600kbps | 15GB at LTE speeds | 20GB at LTE speeds |
| Verizon cloud storage | - | - | 500GB |
| Verizon TravelPass | - | - | 5 a month ($25-$50 value) |
As you can see, just the 3x raise in data speed limits and the half a terabyte of free cloud storage are worth $10 extra, but if you travel a lot, you can also use your unlimited data in 130 countries around the world five days for free each month - if you go to Canada, that would be $25 in savings, but in Europe or Israel, for instance, the 5 TravelPass-free days are worth $50.
In addition, Verizon now allows you to mix and match the unlimited plans, having different tiers on each family line, which is pretty much unheard of. The head of the family, the road warrior that they are and the chief payer of bills, might want the Above Unlimited perks for her or him. The one that travels least and is most times on Wi-fi could make do with the Beyond Unlimited price for a second line, while the kids could be thrown a $40/line Go Unlimited bone, and run with it. Sweet!
Before 6/18: 4 lines of Beyond Unlimited: $200
After 6/18: 1x Above + 1x Beyond + 2x Go Unlimited for the kids: $190

Mix and match your unlimited plans
Starting June 18, get the Verizon Unlimited plan perfect for each member of your family all on the same account – and all on the network they deserve
NEW YORK – The way you choose your family’s unlimited data plan is about to get a serious upgrade because it’s the end of the one-size-fits-all family plan. Starting June 18, you can mix and match different Verizon unlimited plans -- all on the same, easy-to-manage account.
“People have told us what they want from their unlimited plan, and the bottom line is that they don’t like paying more for stuff they don’t need,” said Ronan Dunne, president of Verizon’s wireless division. “Your kids may only need an unlimited plan to deliver the basics -- to call, text and stream without worrying about overages, while you might demand more from your unlimited plan with premium features like HD video and 4G LTE mobile hotspot. Now that you can mix and match, every person in your family gets the plan they need, without paying for things they don’t -- all on the network they deserve.”
