Visit Verizon's coverage map for TV, internet and phone, and make sure to select Personal. The Verizon service that's available nationwide is a 5G mobile network, while a 4G LTE network is available in almost all areas (covers 99% of the population). Fios is available in select states only, including Delaware, Maryland, New York, Virginia, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Washington, DC.

Enter Your Address or Location

Pick Your Mobile Plan

Check the details of the mobile services you want to sign up for on the myPlan page. You can either Build Your Own Plan or Start With Popular Plans. If you choose to build your own plan, you can select from three available plans with a 3-year lock guarantee. You can also add perks like Netflix + HBO Max, Apple Music, Disney+, and YouTube Premium. Additionally, you can choose add-on services and trade in your current phone for a new one or shop for a completely new phone.

The other option is to explore popular plans, which are convenient bundled services. You can browse and compare all available plans to find the one that best suits your needs.

After choosing a plan, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the sign-up process. Verizon also offers discounts for certain professionals, military personnel, and students. Click Learn More for details on how to take advantage of these discounts.

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for Verizon Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Comcast in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our What do I do if my Xfinity TV or internet is out? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
