Netflix Through Verizon: The Most Cost-Effective Ways to Stream

Part 1. Current Verizon Netflix Deals

Verizon has developed several ways for its customers to access Netflix, often at discounted rates or as part of bundled packages. These Netflix deals with Verizon are primarily available through two channels: the myPlan perks program and the +play subscription platform.

1. Netflix & Max Bundle

The Netflix & Max (With Ads) bundle is a cornerstone of Verizon's myPlan perks program, available for $10 per month. This combination offers significant savings compared to subscribing to these services separately.

This bundle is available to Verizon mobile customers on Unlimited Welcome, Unlimited Plus, or Unlimited Ultimate plans. Additionally, Fios Home Internet, 5G Home Internet, and LTE Home Internet customers can also take advantage of this offer.

For customers who prefer an ad-free experience or higher streaming quality, Verizon facilitates upgrades to Netflix Standard or Premium plans, as well as Max Ad-Free or Ultimate Ad-Free plans. The price difference between the base ad-supported plans and the upgraded tiers is conveniently billed through the customer's Verizon account. It's worth noting that prices for these upgrades are subject to change, with Netflix Standard and Premium plans scheduled for a price increase on April 17, 2025.

2. Verizon-Netflix Plans and Promotions

In addition to the monthly bundle, Verizon occasionally offers several annual promotions that provide even more value for customers looking to access Netflix Premium. These special offers are typically available through the +play platform and often pair Netflix with another subscription service for significant savings. Let's take a look at these options:

Verizon's +play is a subscription management platform that allows customers to discover, purchase, and save on various content subscriptions. It's where most Netflix offers through Verizon can be accessed.

The +play platform includes over 30 subscription services spanning entertainment, lifestyle, gaming, and more. Verizon customers can access exclusive discounts and bundles through this platform that aren't available elsewhere.

For myPlan customers, there's also a +play monthly credit perk available for $10, which provides $15 in credits to use toward subscriptions in +play. This creates additional savings opportunities for Verizon customers who want to maximize the value of their entertainment spending.

Part 2. How to Get Netflix Through Verizon

Getting started with Netflix through Verizon is a straightforward process. Here's how to set it up:

For the Netflix & Max Bundle:

Step 1. Sign in to the My Verizon app or visit verizon.com/signin

Step 2. Navigate to Account > Services & perks

Step 3. Select the Netflix & Max offer

Step 4. Once signed up, choose "Register"

Step 5. For Netflix, you'll need to either create a new Netflix account, or link your existing Netflix account by entering your Netflix login credentials.

If you have an existing Netflix account, you can seamlessly transition to billing through Verizon. Once the linking process is complete, you will no longer be billed directly by Netflix.

After enrolling in the Netflix & Max perk, it typically takes up to 15 minutes for the perk to be fully updated in the system. You'll need to complete the registration process for both Netflix and Max separately before you can start enjoying the content.

For +play Annual Promotions:

Step 1. Sign in to My Verizon from a web browser (note that +play isn't currently available in the My Verizon app)

Step 2. Click "Shop", then sign in to +play

Step 3. Look for the Netflix promotion tile that interests you (such as "Buy Annual Subscription, Get Netflix on us")

Step 4. Click "Learn More" followed by "Get it Now" to purchase

Step 5. Enter your service address, provide a valid payment method, and accept the terms and conditions

Step 6. After purchasing, you'll need to activate both services separately

Step 7. For Netflix activation, you'll receive an email with instructions and an activation link

Step 8. Follow the prompts to either create a new Netflix account or link your existing one

For annual subscription offers where Netflix Premium is included, you must first create an account for the primary annual subscription service you purchased. Once this initial subscription is active, you can then activate your Netflix account through the "Manage" section within the +play platform.

It's important to note that if you sign up for multiple services through +play as part of a promotion, you must activate the other service before you can activate Netflix. Additionally, if neither service is activated within 30 days of the bundle purchase, Verizon reserves the right to automatically cancel the bundle.

Part 4. Enhancing Your Netflix Experience

Even with Verizon's reliable network, Netflix users may occasionally encounter issues that impact their viewing experience. Buffering problems can occur during peak usage hours when network traffic is high. Some users face device compatibility issues, especially with older smart TVs or streaming devices.

Video quality may fluctuate depending on network conditions, and Netflix's built-in download feature has notable limitations—downloads expire after 7-30 days, many titles aren't available for offline viewing, and content disappears if your subscription ends or the show leaves Netflix.

For Verizon customers who value flexibility and uninterrupted access to their favorite Netflix content, StreamUlt Netflix Video Downloader offers the perfect solution. This innovative tool allows you to download Netflix movies and shows in high-definition quality (1080p/720p) and save them as MP4 or MKV files that never expire.

Unlike Netflix's built-in feature, StreamUlt preserves all audio tracks and subtitles in multiple languages, retains Dolby 5.1 audio quality, and even maintains video metadata like titles and cover art. The batch download capability lets you add entire seasons with one click, making it ideal for preparing for trips or areas with limited connectivity.
