If you've been eyeing up the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra but haven't been able to trade in for a decent deal up until this point, then today is your lucky day. Verizon has completely waived the annoying trade-in criteria previously needed to get this device for free. While you'll still need a new line on the pricey Ultimate unlimited plan, you can now get this device – that's still valued at $1,199 – free of charge on said plan.
As an overview, the Ultimate plan clocks in at $80/mo for a single line, so it's definitely on the pricey end for a post-paid plan. It does, however, include access to the carrier's quickest 5G Wideband network, 1080p video streaming, and 60GB of premium mobile hotspot allowance per month.
Crucially, the Verizon Ultimate unlimited plan also included 50% off two watch or tablet cellular lines, which is extremely handy because Verizon is also throwing in a free Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Tab S9 FE alongside iPhones right now. With this plan, you'll pay just $15/mo extra for these freebies. That isn't too bad if you want some cellular-capable accessories alongside your shiny new phone.
