Verizon has extended its popular preorder deal for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus, giving customers until March 18 to claim a free flagship phone. The carrier is offering $1,099.99 credit toward the device when customers add a line with either the Unlimited Plus or Unlimited Ultimate plan. No trade-in is required, making this one of the most generous carrier promotions for a new flagship phone.

This deal stands out because Verizon is offering it even after the official preorder period ended. The Galaxy S26 Plus sits between the standard S26 and Ultra models, featuring a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB of RAM, and a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED display. Customers receive seven years of OS and security updates, plus the latest Galaxy AI features.

The Unlimited Plus plan starts at $70 per month for a single line and includes unlimited talk, text, and 5G Ultra Wideband data with a 50GB mobile hotspot. Adding multiple lines can significantly reduce the per-line cost. With this promotion, Verizon is essentially giving away a premium Android flagship to customers who were already planning to upgrade their wireless service.
