Verizon Hikes Unlimited Ultimate Price for New Plans, Bundling Security and Family Tools

Verizon raised the monthly price of its Unlimited Ultimate plan by $5 for new sign-ups starting May 7, 2026, while preserving the 3-year price lock for existing customers on the plan. The increase comes from bundling Identity Secure and Verizon Family Plus, which together add about $15 in monthly value, effectively a discount for current customers but more expensive for new subscribers. Existing Unlimited Ultimate customers will not see a price change; the new pricing for 1–4 lines is $85, $77.50/line, $63.33/line, and $55/line respectively, while Unlimited Plus and Welcome remain unchanged.

Verizon trims hundreds of jobs as it runs leaner after November layoffs

Verizon confirmed a fresh round of layoffs—several hundred positions, representing under 1% of its workforce—primarily affecting its New Jersey headquarters in Basking Ridge, six months after slashing 13,000 roles in November. The company says the cuts are targeted and not AI-driven; CFO Anthony Skiadas said the firm is “running leaner” and will continue cost reductions beyond 2026. Verizon also notes it still has more than 1,000 US job openings and is hiring in growing areas, while AI is helping reduce vendor costs and improve software delivery.

Court weighs whether FCC fines are nonbinding without a jury

During oral arguments, Supreme Court justices questioned AT&T and Verizon’s claim that FCC forfeitures violate the Seventh Amendment, noting carriers could have sought a jury trial by declining to pay and letting enforcement proceed in court. The government argued the forfeiture orders function like indictments and are enforceable only after a jury trial, though justices suggested the penalties may be nonbinding until court review. Even if AT&T and Verizon lose, the case could clarify that FCC fines are nonbinding and require a separate court decision to enforce, affecting how the agency enforces privacy and telecom rules.
