Customers Rejoice! Simple is the New Standard.
Verizon just flipped the script on the wireless world again – this time by giving customers exactly what they’ve been begging for: simplicity, transparency, flexibility, and real rewards. The new Simplicity Plan starts at just $45 per line, with a $30/line promo for switchers.
Activation fees? Gone. Upgrade fees? Gone. Confusing subsidies? Gone.
In their place: clean pricing, new financing options, an opt‑in loyalty program, and more innovations rolling out soon. Buckle up.
Verizon’s Best Network, Standard
Every Simplicity customer gets Verizon’s best 5G network – no tiers, no upsell, no “premium access” fine print. Just the nation’s most reliable 5G, including 5G Ultra Wideband, baked right in.
Plus, every plan includes:
- Verizon Dollars
- Unlimited data, talk & text
- International roaming & satellite texting
- 10GB mobile hotspot
- Call Filter & Verizon Family
Simplicity wipes out the old maze of plan levels and replaces it with one powerful standard: everyone gets the best. And if you want to level up your home life, you can add blazing‑fast home internet starting at just $35/mo.
Your Phone, Your Way: TOTAL Device Freedom
Verizon heard the people loud and clear. With Simplicity, you can:
- Keep your current phone
- Buy a new one
- Save with certified pre‑owned
- Or – on Simplicity Plus/Pro – upgrade up to twice a year
Financing is more flexible than ever with 12, 24, 36, and 48‑month options for qualifying customers. Total freedom, total control.
Customized Bundles
Another major shift: you only pay for connectivity, and everything else is à la carte. Choose the entertainment, cloud, music, or travel perks you actually want – and skip the rest.
More choice. More savings. More “finally!”
To explore your options, call the friendly experts at Russell Cellular at 1‑800‑221‑4408, or swing by your local store for hands‑on help.

Smarter Streaming Leads to a Happier Wallet
People are noticing their streaming bills putting on a little weight these days. With so many great platforms (and their not-great monthly fees), entertainment can get pricey for many households. The good news is that Verizon streaming perks offer the easiest ways to save money on entertainment services. The bad news? There are still folks out there paying too much, more than they have to, and we’re very sad for them.
For every movie buff, sports fan, news junky, info addict, music lover, and arcade gamer, Verizon has both a will and a way to cut streaming costs without cutting must-have content.
Note: Figures in the image could be inaccurate. Verify current pricing here.
Smarter Streaming Starts with Verizon Perks & an Unlimited Plan
Saving money on streaming services doesn’t require people to give up their favorite shows. With Verizon perks, customers can enjoy premium content non-stop while making their wallets happy campers too. Get the ball rolling today with Russell Cellular at your nearest store, on our website, or by calling 1-800-221-4408 (business customers call 1-866-326-7549).
Perk Up with Major Streaming Discounts
Verizon wireless customers are entitled to bonus offers or special perks regardless which “Unlimited” plan they have. One perk is available for every eligible mobile line on their account, so the savings can pile up fast. Verizon Home Internet customers have no limit on the perks they can add.
At press time, these Verizon streaming perks (and others) were available as add-ons:
- Disney Bundle (Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+) discount
- Apple Music and Apple One subscription discounts
- Netflix & HBO Max bundle discount
- YouTube Premium, Fox One, and other rotating discounts
- Google AI Pro Gemini access and storage discount
- Verizon Family Plus, 100 GB Mobile Hotspot, Verizon Cloud (Unlimited Storage), Second Number, and 3 TravelPass Days discounts
Available perks can change periodically, so doing an occasional inventory check and promotion review can be especially helpful. Customers can add or cancel perks at any time. Get all the perk details here.
Grab One Bundle to Save Another: Combine Services to Pay Less
Verizon streaming bundles are one of the most effective ways to reduce monthly costs. Verizon frequently partners with major platforms to offer bundle pricing, extended trials, or seasonal promotions.
For streamers already paying for multiple services separately, a bundle can instantly trim their bills, like this one for a limited time. (Any wallets or pocketbooks reading this are now smiling broadly.)
Watch for Limited‑Time Verizon Streaming Promotions
Verizon often runs limited‑time streaming promotions, which can include:
- Free months of premium services
- Massive introductory discounts
- Early access to new platforms
Checking the My Verizon app frequently can help customers catch these deals while they’re hot. The My Verizon app is available for free download in the App Store or at Google Play.
Do a Quick Streaming Audit (and Keep Your Favorite Perks)
Even with discounts, it’s easy to overspend on streaming. A simple audit can help everyone maximize savings. It might take a minute, but the results are almost always cost savings and peace of mind.
Try this:
- List the services you and your crew actually use and watch.
- Cancel the ones you haven’t opened in months.
- Replace paid subscriptions with Verizon‑discounted versions.
- Rotate platforms based on what you’re watching this month.
This strategy, combined with Verizon perks, can cut streaming bills by a pretty penny and stretch entertainment dollars farther than ever. Let Russell Cellular show you the way!
