Verizon has been losing postpaid phone customers while rivals AT&T and T-Mobile have added users. Verizon last month added $2 to the monthly bills of customers on previously discontinued plans. While Verizon generally lets users stay on older plans even if they're no longer offered to new customers, that doesn't mean existing users won't eventually face price increases. "A lot of customers are going to say, 'I just want the network.'" "There are a lot of customers who are going to end up buying more from us because they like the value they get from it," Sampath told The Wall Street Journal. Verizon Consumer Group CEO Sowmyanarayan Sampath predicted that many customers would choose to spend more under the new set of options, while others would just buy network access and decline the add-on services. Verizon struggles against T-Mobile and AT&T Those add-on prices are lower than what you would pay by buying directly from Disney or Apple. Adding either the Disney Bundle or the Apple One bundle of services will cost $10 a month through Verizon, for example. The new $80 plan scraps the included perks, but they can be bought separately through Verizon. Verizon's One Unlimited for iPhone plan also cost $90 and came with a slew of Apple services. The Get More plan included perks such as the Disney bundle of Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+ Apple Music and a choice between gaming services Apple Arcade or Google Play Pass. While the new $80 plan will only offer 30GB of premium hotspot data, Verizon's press release said that 100GB worth of mobile hotspot data would be available as a $10 add-on. With the old plans, the $90 "5G Get More" option provided "unlimited premium network access" on the phone, and it came with 50GB of premium mobile hotspot data. They also provide 25GB of "premium mobile hotspot data, then unlimited lower-speed data." The older $80 plans provide 50GB of "premium network access" per month, then unlimited data at slower speeds. Under those soon-to-be-discontinued options, access to Ultra Wideband requires a plan that costs at least $80. For one line, those plans range from $65 to $90 a month plus taxes and fees. The existing unlimited plans that won't be available to new customers after today are called Welcome Unlimited, One Unlimited for iPhone, 5G Start, 5G Do More, 5G Play More, and 5G Get More.
