Verizon's Red Hot Deal Days sale kicked off last week as a prelude to Memorial Day weekend, offering a unique opportunity for customers to upgrade their phones or internet plan.

As the deals editor for our platform, I've scoured the entire sale to identify the best offers for you. You can find my curated list further below.
The majority of the substantial savings on phones are attached to Verizon's unlimited plans, but there are standout deals regardless. One such example is the top-tier iPhone 16 Pro Max, which is currently available for free with a new line activation, bypassing the usual trade-in rebate. Additionally, Verizon is offering a bundle for those willing to pay extra per month for the required cellular lines, granting a free iPad and Apple Watch.
Android enthusiasts are not left out either, as the brand-new Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge can be obtained at no cost with the trade-in of an eligible device. With a maximum rebate of up to $1,099, this offer ranks among the most generous trade-in deals available for this flagship phone.
Other highlights include a $300 gift card for switchers and attractive internet deals, all of which are detailed further below. It's essential to note that Verizon's Red Hot Deal Days event closes on May 28, leaving only a few days for customers to take advantage.
Verizon Red Hot Deal Days
Verizon Switching Promo: Receive a $300 gift card when you switch from a rival carrier and purchase a phone at Verizon. This particular promotion appears to be stackable with the other device deals currently available, making it an attractive little bonus. Please note that the gift card must be claimed in your account after an eligible purchase to obtain it.

Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max: Free with an unlimited plan, plus free iPad and Apple Watch. Verizon's current deal on the iPhone 16 Pro is the most appealing I've seen for this high-end device. Unlike with previous promotions, there's no trade-in requirement to claim this premium device for free alongside a new line activation on the Ultimate unlimited plan. While the Ultimate plan is the most expensive option at the carrier, not requiring a trade-in is a significant advantage. Customers can also opt for another promotion that includes a free iPad and Apple Watch SE, though note that extra charges will be incurred for the accessory cellular lines.

Apple iPhone 16: Four free devices plus an unlimited plan for $25/mo per line. If you're after one of the latest iPhones but prefer not to commit to Verizon's highest-end plan, the carrier's promotion on the standard iPhone 16 is an excellent choice. Like the iPhone 16 Pro Max, this one is currently free without a trade-in on an unlimited plan, but it doesn't require the Ultimate or Plus plan either. With the basic Welcome Unlimited plan, it's possible to obtain up to four devices for free on a plan that costs just $100 for four lines.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: Free with trade-in and unlimited plan at Verizon. Verizon's opening Galaxy S25 Edge deal is relatively typical for the carrier. To qualify for this offer, customers will need to trade in an old device and activate a line on an unlimited plan. The maximum rebate of up to $1,099 that covers the entire cost of the device is better than the usual $1,000 discount we see from major carriers.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus: Free with unlimited plan, plus free tablet and smartwatch at Verizon. If you appreciate the idea of a free Samsung Galaxy device without a trade-in but need an offer that's eligible on the Plus plan, consider the Galaxy S25 Plus at Verizon. Unlike with the offer on the Galaxy S25 Ultra above, you won't need the highest-end unlimited plan tier to be eligible for a free device here – only the middle tier is required. You can also obtain a free Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Tab S10 FE as bonus gifts if you're willing to pay for the accessory cellular lines.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: Free with an unlimited data plan, plus free tablet and smartwatch at Verizon. Even though a newer Samsung flagship has been released, Verizon's deals on the slightly older S25 series still warrant attention. In fact, the current deal on the Galaxy S25 Ultra is the best I've ever encountered. No trade-ins are currently necessary to claim this device for free along with a new line activation on an Unlimited Ultimate plan, and a free tablet and smartwatch can be thrown in as bonus gifts if you're prepared to pay for their cellular lines.
