Verizon’s huge nationwide outage this week plunged hundreds of thousands of users into a cellular blackout, quite possibly the worst outage we’ve seen at the carrier. Even with promises of compensation credit, many frustrated users are looking at their options right now.

As someone who covers the best phone and plan deals at TechRadar all year round, I’ve rounded up this week’s best options for potential switchers just below. There are plenty of excellent deals right now at both T-Mobile and AT&T, covering not just the latest devices, but excellent ways to save on your plan – should you want to switch.

It’s a good time to check out T-Mobile, for example, because the carrier has just launched a new ‘Better Family’ promotion that could save you up to $1,000 on a high-end unlimited plan. On top of that, the carrier’s excellent four-phones-for-free promotion on the iPhone 17 is still available right now – a promo that was originally featured back on Black Friday last year.

Meanwhile, AT&T’s throwing in $200 of credit alongside all new unlimited lines this week, a great bonus that’s stackable with the other phone deals at the carrier. You can read more about this promotion, and others, just down below.
