Ordering Verizon Prepaid Plan and BYOP SIM Update


YouTube viewer, Hunter asks,

Why does it comes with a $45 card when the plans are $50 for 5 GB and and  $70
for 10 GB? If Verizon no longer offers the $45 for 2 GB plan,  do you think they updated the BYOP SIM Kit?

.

Hi Hunter,
That’s a very good question. I’m not sure if the 2GB plan still exists I can only say they don’t advertise it on verizonwireless.com. Both the plans and the website have changed since I signed up and did my review. When I ordered my kit, there wasn’t a $45 service card or PIN inside the kit like some other prepaid wireless services have. The credit was automatically applied to my account when I signed up.

As of today, Feb 7 2017, I think your best option in not to order that specific kit online. The best option would be to head to Walmart and check there. For the last few months, Verizon and Walmart have been adding an extra 2 GB to the plans for customers who buy in store. That makes the plans $50 for 7 GB and $70 for $12 GB. I haven’t made it to Walmart to check out that offer, but a number of people are talking about it in the comments. Now, I’m not sure if that is a limited time offer but I think it is. And I’m not sure if that extra 2 GB of data lasts for the the lifetime of your account or just a limited time promotion.

Now, if that promotion is over, or you would prefer to sign up to use the $50 or $70 prepaid plans and Bring Your Own Phone, I’m going to show you how I would do it. And if you do decide to sign up online, I suggest you check the video description below or my article on smartphonematters.com.

Now, you’ll need to choose between “I’m with Verizon and “I’m not with Verizon”. I’m going to choose I’m not with Verizon. But before we go on, I’m going to say don’t click the I want to pick my plans first option. For some reason, it doesn’t show the prepaid plans options.

Now you’ll enter the MEID of your phone to check eligibility.

Choose whether you have or need a sim card, I’ll choose need a SIM card. And now finally, you’ll have the option to choose between the New Verizon plan (postpaid) and Prepaid.
