Verizon’s own support pages now describe the myPlan 3-year price guarantee in the past tense. Its Unlimited Plus and Unlimited Ultimate FAQs both carry a question headed “What was the 3-year price guarantee for myPlan?” — and the answer puts a hard date on it. Anyone who joined myPlan on or after 16 June 2026 does not have a price lock, whatever older comparison pages still say.
What Verizon says about the myPlan price lock
The wording is short and unambiguous. On Verizon’s Unlimited Plus FAQ page, and again on the Unlimited Ultimate FAQ, the carrier writes:
Before 6/16/26, myPlan included a 3-year price guarantee. The 3-year price guarantee will be maintained for customers who switched to a new myPlan plan or enrolled in myPlan prior to 6/16/26.
That single paragraph does two jobs. It confirms the guarantee has been withdrawn for new sign-ups. It also confirms the cut-off date, which matters more than it sounds — 16 June is roughly twelve weeks ago, so this is a change that has already been in force all summer.
The date is the same one Droid Life reported this week. Droid Life said Verizon made no announcement of the change. It added that it had asked Verizon to confirm and received no reply, and that its own confirmation of the June date came from Verizon’s automated support assistant rather than a spokesperson. Verizon’s FAQ text now settles that date directly.
Who still has a price lock, and who never did
The split runs entirely through one date.
- Enrolled in myPlan before 16 June 2026: your 3-year guarantee stands, per Verizon’s own wording. Switching to a different myPlan plan before that date also counts.
- Signed up on or after 16 June 2026: there is no guarantee on your plan. Your base rate can move whenever Verizon decides to move it.
- Thinking of switching plans now: if you are currently covered, changing plans is the thing to think hardest about. The protection is attached to an enrolment that happened before the cut-off.
What this actually costs a new Verizon customer
A price guarantee was the single most concrete reason to prefer myPlan over a cheaper prepaid or MVNO line. It was Verizon’s answer to the obvious question about a plan that costs more than the competition: at least the number stays put. New customers now pay the same premium without that answer.
It is also worth being precise about what the guarantee ever covered. It applied to the base plan price, not to the surcharges, administrative fees and optional perk subscriptions layered on top of it. Those were always free to move. Losing the guarantee removes the one line on the bill that could not be changed at will. Verizon has already raised the price of its Disney+ and Hulu perks from 17 September, which is exactly the sort of add-on the guarantee never touched.
If you are shopping US postpaid plans this month, treat any third-party page still advertising a myPlan price lock as out of date, and check the enrolment date on your own account before assuming you are covered.
