Verizon introduced a new line of business unlimited plans in October 2020.
Plan Information
Verizon's new business plans include plans for smartphones, as well as add-on plans for tablets, data devices, and smartwatches. While all of the plans offer unlimited on-device data, the plans are differentiated by network management thresholds, mobile hotspot data buckets and speeds, and 5G access.
Lines can be mixed-and-matched on a single account, and each line has its own 'unlimited' data allowances. Accounts can have as little as one line, with no upper limit of lines noted. In order to add a Jetpack or tablet to an account, there must be at least one Start, Plus, or Pro phone line on the account.

Shopping for Cellular Data Plans
Finding the right plans for your needs is no easy task - quite simply mobile travelers using cellular data as their primary way online is not how most carriers have designed their plans. Many of us want plans that provide copious amounts of data.
Understanding the different plan terms (like network management, throttling, hotspot data, video resolution) is key to determining if a plan will meet your needs or not. You also need plans that are suitable for use in the device you want to use them in - such as smartphone, mobile hotspot device or cellular embedded router.
