Apple Watch and other smartwatch users with a Verizon plan for their device will pay an additional $5 per month for services, the cellular carrier revealed in a Thursday email to customers.
Verizon’s smartwatch plan will increase from $10 to $15 per month on most plans. Verizon says that Apple Watch plan customers currently receiving a discount, such as the 50% promotion for customers on Unlimited Plus and Ultimate plans, will see the price increase reflect that discount.
In the email sent on Thursday, Verizon says that the price increase will let it “continue improving our industry-leading network and services” its service. The changes will go into effect as of June 3:
To continue improving our industry-leading network and services, the price of select Smartwatch data plans will change as of June 3, 2024. In addition to all watch plans giving you the freedom to stay connected, unlimited plans using number share now also include unlimited calling, texting, and data to, from and within Canada and Mexico.
Each of the watch lines will increase in price by $5/month*. If any of your watch lines includes a discount, such as 50% off connected devices on our current Unlimited Plus and Ultimate plans, that discount will remain and be applied to the new pricing.
Verizon’s price increase on smartwatch plans comes a mere month after it hiked prices across its other plans.
