Verizon used to offer free Apple Music with certain unlimited plans. However, Verizon revamped its unlimited data plans and branded them as “myPlan“ in May 2023. After the update, it removed certain complimentary offerings, such as access to Disney+ and Apple Music, and now requires customers to pay to access these services that were previously included in their older plans.

While free Apple Music is no longer included in Verizon plans, you can still get it at discounted prices. If you still hold the Legacy plans (older plans) on Verizon, you may still have the chance to get free Apple Music. Here’s what Verizon offers.

How to get Apple Music at discounted prices with Verizon

When you register for Verizon Unlimited Ultimate, Plus, and Welcome plans, you have two options to add Apple Music at discounted prices. You can add a $10/month Apple Music family subscription perk to your plan or choose an Apple One individual or family perk at low prices.

The Apple Music family subscription perk is charged $10 per month, while it has a $16.99/month value. This subscription lets up to 6 people enjoy all the features and the full catalog of Apple Music.

The Apple One perk lets you choose between an individual subscription for $15/month (originally $19.95/month) and an Apple One family subscription for $20/month (originally $25.95/month).

These two perks can’t be added on the same line. Apple Music is included with Apple One, which also gets Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and iCloud+ (50 GB for the Individual plan and 200 GB for the Family plan). Apple One Family Subscription can be shared with up to five other people.
