Verizon lower bill than AT&T and T-Mobile

Verizon is officially kicking off a price war, but not in the way you'd think.

AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile all claim to have the best network. Unless you are ready to dig deep, it can be confusing to decide which provider to trust. Verizon is making the choice a little easier by trying to give you a better deal than AT&T and T-Mobile.

For years, T-Mobile had a technological edge over AT&T and Verizon when it came to 5G. That gap is slowly closing as Verizon now lights up its standalone 5G (5G SA) or pure 5G network and AT&T follows suit.

With the key tech advantage fading, carriers will have to compete on cost. Since none of them are willing to lower prices on plans, Verizon has come up with a clever way to outdo its rivals. The company is offering to give you a better deal than AT&T and T-Mobile.

All you have to do is bring your recent postpaid AT&T or T-Mobile bill to Verizon. On its website, Verizon already claims to have done the math for you to prove that it's the cheapest option by comparing its priciest plan with plans from T-Mobile and AT&T. That may not be accurate for everyone, because Verizon took the liberty of assuming some specifics, such as phone financing. That's why the company is encouraging AT&T and T-Mobile customers to hand over their actual bills for a custom deal.

Verizon lower bill than AT&amp;T and T-Mobile

Verizon says it can offer lower rates than AT&T and T-Mobile.

What do you think of Verizon's offer to lower the bills of AT&T and T-Mobile customers?

As a Verizon customer, I want my bill lowered first.

49.34%

Best use of AI.

4.28%

We'll see if it actually makes good on the promise.

46.38%

There's no guarantee that you will get a better deal. Some T-Mobile customers claim they were told by Verizon that it couldn't match the rates offered to them by T-Mobile.

Verizon won't offer lower rates to everyone.

Others walked away with cheaper plans.

Verizon is using AI tools to offer more affordable rates than AT&T and T-Mobile.

Apparently, Verizon is using AI to beat AT&T and T-Mobile's prices. The tool seemingly scans your bill for any discounts or promos and applies a similar offer to its own plan to bring the price down.

While you have the option of switching online as well, anecdotal evidence suggests that going to a store might get the activation fee waived.

This is a great use of AI by Verizon. While the company may not be able to lower everyone's bills, it will use technology to look for every possible way to undercut AT&T and T-Mobile's pricing.

$180

$360

$180 off (50%)

Mint Mobile is also offering an incredible bargain for those seeking unlimited data! The carrier's latest deal lets you grab any unlimited plan for just $15/mo, bringing the 12-month Unlimited plan to $180 instead of $360.
