Pricing: Strong at Scale, Gated by the Bundle

Single-line is $30/mo (plus taxes), and free for the first twelve months on a new line: among the lowest costs for unlimited Verizon-network service.

The gate: you must have active Xfinity Internet. For those households the multi-line math is hard to beat; without it, Visible+ on the same Verizon network is $29/mo with SAVE6, all-in, with far more priority data and a usable hotspot.

Skip it if

✕You don't have Xfinity Internet: Visible+ is better and cheaper
✕You tether at all: the 600 Kbps cap is punishing
✕You're a heavy user: deprioritized after 30GB
✕You want all-in pricing: Xfinity adds taxes and fees
✕You want 4K streaming: that's the Premium tier
✕You're in an Xfinity-light area: the bundle benefit shrinks

Final Verdict

7.3/10 · Xfinity Mobile Select

For existing Xfinity Internet customers, the math works: $40 single-line is competitive and the multi-line tiers reach $25/line, hard-to-beat territory for Verizon-network unlimited, with unified billing and gigabit WiFi PowerBoost as daily bonuses. Two constraints limit its appeal: the Xfinity Internet requirement and a punishing 600 Kbps hotspot cap. If you tether at all, step up to Premium Unlimited; if you don't have Xfinity Internet, Visible+ is meaningfully better.

Consider instead: Visible+ Plan. No Xfinity Internet? Visible+ rides the same Verizon network at $29/mo with SAVE6, all-in, with more priority data and a genuinely usable 10 Mbps hotspot, a third less with no bundle gate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Xfinity Mobile Unlimited any good?

Yes for existing Xfinity Internet customers. Verizon's network at $30 single-line, and free for the first year on a new line. Non-Xfinity users do better with Visible+ on the same Verizon network at lower cost and with better features.

Do I really need Xfinity Internet?

Yes: the pricing is contingent on an active Xfinity Internet account. Cancel Internet and the mobile pricing changes. The requirement is non-negotiable.

What happens after 30GB of priority data?

Data stays unlimited but speeds drop to 1.5 Mbps for the rest of the cycle. No overage charges; speeds reset each cycle.

Can I use my phone as a hotspot?

Yes, unlimited, but capped at 600 Kbps (3G) from the start. Fine for email and basic browsing, too slow for video calls or HD streaming. For serious tethering, choose Premium Unlimited.

What's the difference from Premium Unlimited?

Base ($40/mo) has 30GB priority, a 600 Kbps hotspot, and SD streaming; Premium ($50/mo) has 100GB priority, a 30GB high-speed hotspot, 4K streaming, and twice-yearly upgrades.

Are taxes and fees included?

No: Xfinity adds them on top of the advertised rate, typically 8–15%.
