You can save money — and skip the contract and credit check — by going with a Verizon prepaid cell phone plan over a traditional plan. Verizon prepaid customers get a loyalty discount after three months on a qualifying monthly plan, making the carrier an appealing option for those shopping for a prepaid plan.

Monthly Plans
Verizon prepaid customers get a $5 per month loyalty discount after three months of service on eligible monthly plans. The discount grows to $10 per month after nine months of service. The prices below do not reflect the loyalty discount.
Talk and text: $35 per month; $30 with autopay discount
5GB: $40 per month; $35 with autopay discount
15GB: $50 per month; $45 with autopay discount
Unlimited: $65 per month; $60 with autopay discount
Family plan: Verizon offers its loyalty discount in place of a multi-line discount on most new prepaid plans. Each additional line, up to 10 lines total, gets its own data allotment, so there is no shared data.
