Verizon Prepaid vs Postpaid // Saving $60 a month

Transitioning to Verizon Prepaid

For over two years, I was on a Verizon Postpaid family plan, paying about $140 per month (approximately $153 including tax) for two lines with unlimited data. However, I recently reassessed my needs and made the switch to Verizon Prepaid.

New Plan Details

  • Monthly Cost: ~$90 for two lines (about $93 including tax)
    • Line 1: 16GB of data
    • Line 2: Unlimited data

Significant Savings

This change has led to a monthly savings of roughly $60, which is quite significant!

Limitations of Prepaid

While the savings are great, there are three limitations to keep in mind:

  1. Video Quality: Video streams at a lower 480p resolution. However, since I mostly watch on a small screen and stream over WiFi, this isn't a major concern.

  2. Data Usage During Calls: I cannot use data while on the phone, which can be a slight inconvenience if I need to search the web during a call.

  3. Disney+: The prepaid plan does not include Disney+ for free. I already purchased it at a low price, so this isn’t a big issue for me.
