The annual Verizon Black Friday deals are already live today, with excellent options across the board – including iPhone 17, Galaxy S25, Google Pixel, and even internet packages. Looking to upgrade? Well, I’ve rounded up all today’s best discounts just below.
The carrier’s seasonal promotions have actually been ongoing for a few weeks now, but Verizon has just added a brand new batch of exceptional promotions. Highlights include the iPhone 17 Pro Max, Galaxy S25 Ultra, or Pixel 10 Pro XL for free alongside a new unlimited line without a trade-in and the option to bundle in free accessories, too.
As someone who covers Verizon deals all year round, these are definitely some of the best promotions I’ve seen in 2025, with more generous terms than what’s usually required.
With that said, as always, Verizon’s Black Friday deals revolve around potentially pricey unlimited plans, so it’s definitely worth considering your options before you jump in. That’s why I’ve included the various eligibility criteria for each one, as well as some specific recommendations for devices based on our product testing here at TechRadar.
Today’s best Black Friday deals at Verizon
New customers: $200 eGift card with switch at Verizon
If you’ve been thinking about making the switch, then now’s a great time to consider jumping over to Verizon. The carrier is currently offering a handy $200 gift card for new customers with an eligible smartphone purchase and an unlimited plan. Not only is this a great little gift that can be used to offset any plan bills, but it’s a promotion that technically stacks with all the other excellent Verizon Black Friday deals currently available below.View Deal
Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max: free with a new unlimited line, plus free iPad and Apple Watch at Verizon
Verizon has just upped the ante with its Black Friday deals today, with this incredible promotion on the iPhone 17 Pro Max. For the first time ever, you don’t need to trade-in to get this device for free alongside a new unlimited line. On top of that, you can also throw in a free iPad and Apple Watch. Previously, that’s a promotion that’s only been available on the cheaper 17-series devices. Even better still, this deal is eligible on the higher-end Ultimate and mid-tier Plus plan, so you’re not technically tied into the priciest option here if you don’t want it. Deal!View Deal
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: free with a new unlimited line, plus free tablet and smartwatch at Verizon
Here’s Verizon’s best Black Friday deal on an Android device, in my opinion. The outstanding Galaxy S25 Ultra is available under the same terms as the iPhone 17 Pro Max today, meaning a free device, Samsung tablet, and Galaxy Watch alongside a new unlimited line. These are all things that we’ve seen offered before at Verizon, but previously, you needed the highest-end Ultimate plan to be eligible. Today, you can get these on the mid-tier Plus plan, which is just outstanding value in my opinion.View Deal
Google Pixel 10 Pro XL: free with a new unlimited line, plus free tablet and smartwatch at Verizon
And last, but certainly not least is Verizon’s Black Friday deal on the excellent Pixel 10 Pro XL. Are you sensing a theme here? The deal is a free device, tablet, and Google smartwatch alongside either a Plus or Ultimate unlimited plan. No trade-ins are needed at all here, although you do need to take out lines on those accessories, even if they are technically ‘free’ upfront. View Deal
Apple iPhone 17: free with a new unlimited line, plus free iPad and Apple Watch at Verizon
And, that same Verizon deal is also available on the standard iPhone 17. On paper, this one might not seem quite as good value as the 17 Pro Max deal above, but it’s worth noting that the free iPhone 17 is available on the entry-level Welcome Unlimited plan, which makes it a better option for the budget-conscious. You can also throw in a free iPad and Apple Watch here, although note you will have to pay extra for accessory cellular lines, and these lines don’t get any bundle discounts on the Welcome plan. If you’re looking to bundle, I would go the whole way and grab the iPhone 17 Pro Max on the higher-end plan.View Deal
Verizon 5G Home Ultimate internet: free Samsung TV, or Marshall speaker, or Samsung tablet
Verizon’s headline Black Friday deal on its excellent 5G home internet packages lets new customers pick between a few impressive welcome gifts this week. Available with the Ultimate plan is your choice between a Samsung QLED TV (worth $400), a Marshall Kilburn speaker, or a decent Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE tablet (worth $500). Those are, in my opinion, the best freebies today, but there are in fact more gifts to choose from today also – including a $200 Target gift card that could be handy for Black Friday.View Deal
Verizon Black Friday deals: FAQ
Will Verizon feature more deals over Black Friday?
Friday, November 28th
Verizon has already launched two waves of early deals ahead of Black Friday, so I wouldn’t expect too much more at this point. Deals like the current promotion on the iPhone 17 Pro Max are already the best we’ve seen from the carrier in 2025, so it’s doubtful that it will launch an even better option.
With that said, you never know. Stock on the latest iPhone 17 range is pretty good at the moment, so there’s really no rush if you’re willing to wait it out until Black Friday itself.
What models does TechRadar recommend?
Apple iPhone 17
For the first time in a few generations, we recommend the standard iPhone as ‘the best iPhone for most people’. It’s a little boring, a little safe, but we can’t deny just how good value this particular iteration is. For once, the standard iPhone isn’t really the poor relation with its crisp 6.3-inch display, excellent chipset, and healthy 256GB capacity. The only downside? It lacks a few of the higher-end camera features of the Pro devices.

Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max
If you’re going big, then go all the way, we say. The latest iPhone 17 Pro Max is just an incredible device with a (somewhat) justified price tag. The device features the best iPhone cameras we’ve ever seen, a fresh design, a huge battery, and the astoundingly quick A19 chipset. It’s the ultimate iPhone for sure, although you’ll have to decide whether all these ‘nice-to-haves’ are worth the premium versus the standard model.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is big, heavy, and expensive – but what a device it is. Not only does the S25 Ultra feature an incredible chipset and some of the best cameras we’ve ever seen on a phone, but it has a stunning design that befits its asking price. Again, this is a really expensive device, but it’s a great option for power-users – especially if you can line up a decent discount over Black Friday.

How do I save as much cash as possible?
1. Signing up for a new plan
2. Trading in an old phone
Unfortunately, there are no real surprises when it comes to Verizon Black Friday deals. As with the carrier’s promotions at other times of the year, the biggest discounts will be reserved for those who sign up for one of the carrier’s priciest unlimited plans.
You may also, depending on the various T&Cs, have to trade in an old device to be eligible for a discount. In recent years, Verizon and other carriers have been a lot less strict on the criteria, however, so your mileage may vary when it comes to this year’s Black Friday deals at the carrier.
For example, last year, Verizon offered the excellent iPhone 16 Pro for free without even having to trade in. Recently, the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 have both been free under similar criteria too, so there is precedent for excellent promotions that don’t require the usual trade-in.
