![]() Now, I have a 4-year Disney+ pre-sale subscription that locks me in until 2023, but the free Hulu and ESPN+ are clutch, as is the Discovery+ for a year. On top of that, they’ll give you 12 months of Discovery+ (which my wife and I’ve been watching far too much of), subscriptions to Google Play Pass or Apple Arcade, and Apple Music for 6 months or more. Verizon includes a Disney+ bundle with Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ in two of their plans. Was that cost worth it (of course, it’s the Timbers) or should I think about cutting something else to keep it around? I was having this conversation with myself last week after recently adding ESPN+ (for Portland Timbers matches by way of a VPN around blackouts and Root Sports not being on YouTube TV). Those freebies just got me to finally switch off of “The New Verizon Unlimited” plan from 4 years ago and onto the Play More Unlimited plan.Īs my life has seemingly added a new subscription service of some kind every few months now that every content company has a streaming option, you start wondering if it’s all worth it and whether or not you can possibly consume enough content to justify the cost before deciding it’s time to make cuts. They added 5G access too, but who cares about 5G. In recent years, Verizon has added a bunch of freebies to each, including free music subscriptions, free Disney+ bundles, and passes to Google Play and Apple’s app stores. Things have changed with these four Start Unlimited, Play More Unlimited, Do More Unlimited, and Get More Unlimited plans, though. ![]() That’s a dark outlook on the wireless industry, but there’s history there. When first announced, I didn’t even consider switching to one and that’s probably because whenever Verizon announces something new, I assume it’s sneakier than the plan I’m on and that the only reason for there to be a new option is to squeeze extra cash out of the customer base. Since that switch, Verizon has introduced an entire suite of “unlimited” plans with silly names, a semi-confusing set of options that slightly differ between each one, and levels of prices to fit any budget. I talked about how leaving my old grandfathered unlimited plan made sense because of cost, for the included hotspot in the new plan, and because I no longer needed a plan that could give me 400GB of data to use in a month. In 2017, when Verizon brought back its first unlimited data plan after years of trying to force customers into awful tiered data options, I made the switch.
