Verizon’s Unlimited Ultimate plan costs $10 per month more than the Unlimited Plus plan and comes with a few additional features:

  • Way better international roaming access
  • Unlimited mobile hotspot data (instead of 30GB)
  • Eligibility for a second connected device plan discount
  • Better device discounts

International Roaming

The Unlimited Ultimate plan comes with extremely permissive international roaming features. Subscribers are eligible for unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, and 15GB of high speed data per month in almost every country worldwide. Data use beyond 15GB is permitted but throttled to 1.5Mbps.

Unlimited Plus plan subscribers get included roaming access in Canada and Mexico. Subscribers that want roaming coverage in other countries can pay for Verizon TravelPasses. Verizon TravelPasses are typically $12 per day. Verizon also offers monthly roaming packages for $100/mo in most countries worldwide.

As of March 2026, TravelPasses typically include unlimited minutes and texts + 5GB of high speed data per day. Verizon’s monthly roaming plans include unlimited text, 250 minutes, and 20 GB of high speed data per month. Both types of roaming plans allow further data use at 3G speeds.

Connected Device Discounts

Subscribers on the Unlimited Plus plan are eligible for one discount for a plan on a connected device (e.g., a smartwatch or a tablet). Typically, this plan is good for 50% off a basic service plan. On certain high-cost hotspot plans, the discount morphs to a flat $20 off the monthly rate.

Unlimited Ultimate subscribers can use the discount on up to two connected device plans.

Device Discounts

Subscribers on the Unlimited Ultimate plan are eligible for better discounts on new smartphones.
