Friends & Family program - wireless and Fios discount FAQs

Eligible friends and family of Verizon employees can get special discounts when they switch their wireless phone service to a Verizon Unlimited plan and/or switch their home internet to a Verizon Fios Gigabit Connection (new customers only).

To get the discount, a Verizon employee must share a Friends & Family* code with you:

• Each code can be used for a Verizon wireless service discount, a Verizon FiosHome Internet service discount, or both.
• You can redeem the code only on our website.

If you got a discount code from a Verizon employee, visit the Friends & Family sign up page now to change your service and apply your discount. Based on your code, you’ll have the option to choose one or both services.

Note: Fios Home Internet is currently available in these states: New Jersey, New York, Maryland, Delaware, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Virginia, as well as in Washington DC.

*Standard service agreements, eligibility restrictions and additional terms apply. Program and amounts are subject to change and may be modified or discontinued at any time. Limit of one Friends & Family discount per wireless or Fios account.

You only have to switch 1 smartphone or basic phone line to a Verizon Unlimited plan to get a Friends & Family discount. After that you can switch or add as many device lines as you want. You must bring your phone number from another carrier to qualify.

Your total discount amount depends on the number of mobile phone lines with Unlimited plans that are on your account.

You can choose:

• Unlimited Ultimate - Our reliable, fastest 5G, plus the most mobile hotspot data, international connectivity and more.
• Unlimited Plus - Our fastest 5G network experience.
• Unlimited Welcome - Unlimited 5G.

With these plans, you can add optional perks for entertainment, travel, shopping and more for $10/month each.*

*If you have Welcome Unlimited you can also add perks in My Verizon. Welcome Unlimited is no longer available to add to your account.

Our Fios Home Internet Gigabit connection has wired speeds up to 940/880 Mbps with average speeds between 750-940 Mbps download and 750-880 Mbps upload.* Learn more about our Fios Gigabit internet connection.

*Wired and wireless speeds vary due to device limits, multiple users, network and other factors.

A limited number of discounts are available. The code you got from your Verizon employee friend or family member is good until 5/29/24 or while supplies last.

If you get an error message when redeeming your code, check back with the person who sent you the code.

You can keep your Friends & Family discount as long as you keep the discounted service(s).
