Verizon introduced a new line of business unlimited smartphone plans in October 2020 and then updated and upgraded those plans to "2.0" versions in October 2021. In January 2022, Verizon Business updated its Data Device plans to offer two tiers, released to coincide with C-Band 5G UW rollout.
Plan Information
Verizon's current business plans include plans for smartphones, as well as add-on plans for tablets and data devices. While the plans are differentiated by network management thresholds, mobile hotspot data buckets and speeds, and 5G access.
Lines can be mixed and matched on a single account. Accounts can have as little as one line, with no upper limit of lines noted. As of mid-2021, data device-only lines can be activated a la carte without a smartphone line of service.
Verizon Business also offers International Business Plans and Machine-to-Machine (IoT) Plans.

LTE Business Internet
LTE Business Internet Plans **TOP PICK**
Released in 2021, Verizon's LTE Business Internet plans provide tiered speed and data plans designed for remote business locations, remote workers, and as a backup to a primary business connection. Each tier of service comes with a set amount of premium data before network management applies, and up to 300GB of usage monthly. After 300GB of data is used, add-on data is automatically applied to the account in increments of 5GB for $10. And each plan level comes with a price-lock period before the monthly price is increased by $10/month.
These plans are authorized for mobile use. The fine print in their marketing brochure states that businesses with at least 10-lines of service qualify for this plan, however on the plan details listed on the website plan page, it states these plans are for "business customers with 999 lines or below". We spoke with two different reps who confirmed to us that there was no 10-line minimum.
The fine print also states that video and audio streaming, public Wi-Fi sharing, and web hosting are forbidden. However, after speaking with a Verizon rep we believe this applies mostly to restrictions on actually using the service to host a video or audio streaming server. General video streaming and downloading of content should be fine, and we have received a few reports of customers on the plans being able to stream with no issues.
Currently Available Plans:
- 300GB, Download speeds up to 50Mbps - $199/month (Pricing guaranteed for 3 years)
- 300GB, Download speeds up to 25Mbps - $99/month (Pricing guaranteed for 2 years)
- 300GB, Download speeds up to 10Mpbs - $69/month (Pricing guaranteed for 1 year)
*Note: Pricing is guaranteed for time periods specified above, after that, the monthly rate will increase by $10.

5G Business Internet
5G Business Internet
Verizon offers speed-tiered 5G fixed-location wireless business plans. Because these are intended for a fixed location (aka, not mobile), and contain fixed-location terms of service, we do not consider them worthy of mobile internet options.
They are also only available in limited areas with 5G UW coverage (mid-band or mmWave).
You can learn more about these plans on the Verizon Business website.
