The biggest Black Friday phone deals from Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T usually come with a pricey unlimited plan attached that can cost $95/month or more. Smaller carriers like Mint Mobile, US Mobile, and Visible take the opposite approach by putting the discount on the plan itself, so this year you can get a full year of unlimited data for less than $20/month.
Mint Mobile and Visible already have their Black Friday deals live, and Metro by T-Mobile and Xfinity Mobile have holiday offers worth a look too. I'll keep adding new prepaid deals to this page as they show up between now and Cyber Monday on November 30.
MVNO Black Friday deals at a glance
The best prepaid Black Friday deals of 2026 so far are Mint Mobile's $15/month plans, Visible's 50% off Visible+ Pro annual plan, and Metro by T-Mobile's $15/month unlimited plan. This table compares every MVNO Black Friday deal we've found by price, eligibility, and network.
Every MVNO Black Friday deal in 2026
| Carrier | Deal | Who qualifies | Network |
|---|---|---|---|

Our pick for the best prepaid Black Friday deal
Mint Mobile's 12-month Unlimited plan for $180 is the best prepaid Black Friday deal of 2026. New customers get a full year of unlimited talk, text, and data on T-Mobile's network for $15/month, which is half the plan's usual $360 price.
Mint Mobile Black Friday deals
Mint Mobile's 2026 Black Friday deal drops every plan, including Unlimited, to $15/month for new customers who sign up for a 3-, 6-, or 12-month plan. Mint is also taking $500 off the Google Pixel 11 and Samsung Galaxy S26 when you bundle either phone with 12 months of Unlimited.
Save on home internet with Mint's 5G Home MINTernet
Mint Mobile's 5G Home MINTernet brings Mint's prepaid pricing to your home internet, with unlimited data on T-Mobile's 5G network starting at $40/month on a 12-month plan. Adding MINTernet to a Mint phone plan takes another $10/month off, so pairing it with Mint's $180 Unlimited deal gets your phone and home internet on the same network for less than many carriers charge for internet alone.
Mint includes the 5G gateway for free, and setup takes about 15 minutes: Just plug it in and connect your devices. Our Mint 5G home internet guide breaks down every MINTernet plan, bundle price, and how it compares to T-Mobile's home internet.
Mint Mobile: Get any plan for $15/month
Mint Mobile's holiday promo charges $15/month for any plan on a 3-, 6-, or 12-month term, including the Unlimited plan that normally costs $30/month on a 12-month term. Mint bills its plans up front, so here's what you'll pay at checkout for each term.
Mint Mobile Black Friday plan pricing by term
| Plan length | Upfront cost | Monthly equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| 3 months | $45 | $15/month |
| 6 months | $90 | $15/month |
| 12 months | $180 | $15/month |
The 12-month Unlimited plan is the one I'd grab, since $180 locks in a full year of unlimited talk, text, and data at half its usual $360 price. Mint runs on T-Mobile's network, which is the same network my Galaxy Z Fold5 uses every day, so you get T-Mobile coverage for a fraction of what T-Mobile charges. Two of our staffers liked Mint enough after testing it that they switched for good, and our Mint Mobile review explains why.
Mint Unlimited speeds can slow after you use 50GB of data in a month when the network is busy, but half of our team uses Mint, and none of them have ever noticed their service slowing down.
The plan also includes up to 20GB of hotspot data, which is plenty for most users. Mint's regular prices start after your first term ends, so setting a reminder a few days before your renewal date helps ensure you aren't surprised by the price jump.
Mint Mobile: Get the Pixel 11 for $399 or the Galaxy S26 for $500
For Black Friday, Mint is also taking $500 off the Google Pixel 11 and Samsung Galaxy S26 when you buy either phone with a 12-month Unlimited plan. Both bundles include the year of Unlimited at the $180 holiday price, so here's what you'll pay in total.
Mint Mobile phone deal pricing
| Phone | Mint price | Regular price | Total with 12 months of Unlimited |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Pixel 11 | $399 | $899 | $579 |
| Samsung Galaxy S26 | $500 | $1,000 | $680 |
What's even crazier is that a trade-in can knock up to $400 off either phone, bringing the 256GB Galaxy S26 down to as little as $100 and making the Pixel 11 completely free. Here's how the prices break down with a trade-in.
Mint Mobile phone prices with a trade-in
| Price breakdown | Galaxy S26 (256GB) | Pixel 11 (256GB) |
|---|---|---|
| Regular price | $1,000 | $899 |
| Mint discount with a 12-month Unlimited plan | -$500 | -$500 |
| Price at checkout | $500 | $399 |
| Trade-in credit | Up to -$400 | Up to -$400 |
| Your total cost | As low as $100 | Free |
You need a 12-month Unlimited plan to get either discount, and the trade-in is optional, so you'll still get the $500 off without one. If you do trade in a phone, you pay the discounted price at checkout, and Mint sends your trade-in value as a check after it processes your old phone. The amount depends on which phone you trade in and its condition.
With the year of Unlimited included, your total comes to as little as $280 for the Galaxy S26 and $180 for the Pixel 11.
Mint's phone deals are for new customers only, and your new phone stays locked to Mint for the first 60 days, then unlocks automatically. Mint runs new promos all year long, and our Mint Mobile deals page tracks every one of them.
Visible Black Friday deals
Visible's best Black Friday deal of 2026 is 50% off the Visible+ Pro annual plan, which brings a full year of service down to $225 with promo code BLACKFRIDAY. Visible is also taking $6/month off its monthly plans with code HOLIDAYHACK and giving a $480 credit on select Pixel 11 and Galaxy S26 phones.
Visible: Get the Visible+ Pro annual plan for $225
New Visible members can get the Visible+ Pro annual plan for $225 (normally $450) with code BLACKFRIDAY, which works out to $18.75/month for a year of service on Verizon's network. Visible+ Pro is Visible's top plan, so you get premium data on Verizon's 5G Ultra Wideband network, a mobile hotspot, and international calling and texting, and taxes and fees are already included in the price.
You can bring your own phone or buy a new one from Visible to get the deal, and the 50% discount applies to your first year of service. Our own Angelo Ilumba spent a month testing Visible, and our Visible review covers how its Verizon-powered service held up.
Visible: Save $6/month with code HOLIDAYHACK
Visible's HOLIDAYHACK code takes $6/month off any of Visible's three monthly plans for new members, and the discount lasts longer on the pricier plans.
Visible plan prices with HOLIDAYHACK
| Plan | Regular price | With HOLIDAYHACK | Discount length |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visible | $25/month | $19/month | Up to 12 months |
| Visible+ | $35/month | $29/month | Up to 36 months |
| Visible+ Pro | $45/month | $39/month | Up to 60 months |
HOLIDAYHACK only works on Visible's monthly plans, so you can't combine it with the BLACKFRIDAY annual plan deal.
Which Visible Black Friday deal should you pick?
The BLACKFRIDAY annual deal is the better buy for your first year, because $18.75/month for Visible+ Pro costs less than the $19/month base Visible plan with HOLIDAYHACK. HOLIDAYHACK makes more sense if you'd rather not pay $225 upfront, or if you want to keep $6/month off Visible+ Pro for up to five years.
Visible: Get $480 off select Pixel 11 and Galaxy S26 phones
Visible is giving new and existing members $480 off select Google Pixel 11 and Samsung Galaxy S26 phones when they sign up for Visible+ Pro, Visible's $45/month plan. The deal runs through December 28, 2026.
Visible applies the $480 as a $20/month credit on your bill for 24 months, so your Visible+ Pro plan works out to $25/month while the credit lasts. These phones qualify for the $480 credit:
- Google Pixel 11
- Google Pixel 11 Pro
- Google Pixel 11 Pro XL
- Google Pixel 11 Fold
- Samsung Galaxy S26
- Samsung Galaxy S26+
- Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra
- Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge
- iPhone Duo (only when you pay full price up front)
This deal can't be combined with the HOLIDAYHACK code, but it's open to existing Visible members. That makes it one of the few prepaid Black Friday deals you can get without switching carriers.
US Mobile Black Friday deals
US Mobile hasn't posted its Black Friday deals for 2026 yet, and we'll add them to this page as soon as they go live. Last year, US Mobile saved its best Black Friday deal for the four days from Black Friday through Cyber Monday, so its 2026 offers could land closer to November 27.
US Mobile already gave us a preview with its FlashBlack Friday sale, which ran from October 15 to October 20 and cut monthly Unlimited Starter to $10/month and Unlimited Premium to $20/month for six months. That sale has ended, but it's a good sign of the kind of pricing US Mobile is willing to run this season.
US Mobile also stands out from Mint and Visible because its plans let you choose between AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon's networks. Max McCaskill, our senior staff writer here at WhistleOut, spent a month testing US Mobile, and you can read what he found in our US Mobile review.
What US Mobile offered for Black Friday 2025
US Mobile's 2025 Black Friday deal, called the 67 Deal, got you a full year of Unlimited Premium for $167 when you brought your number and activated it on US Mobile's Light Speed network, which runs on AT&T. The deal ran from November 28 to December 1, 2025, and US Mobile also took 50% off its Multi-Network add-on during the same four days.
Black Friday prepaid phone deals from other carriers
Metro by T-Mobile and Xfinity Mobile are the other MVNOs with Black Friday deals live right now. Metro's deals include $15/month unlimited, a free Galaxy A37 5G, and the iPhone 16e On Us, while Xfinity is giving new Xfinity Internet customers a free mobile line for a year.
Metro by T-Mobile Black Friday deals
Metro by T-Mobile's Black Friday deals give new customers unlimited 5G data for $15/month for three months, a free Samsung Galaxy A37 5G, or the iPhone 16e. All three deals come with no activation fees, and Metro includes taxes and fees in its plan prices.
Metro by T-Mobile Black Friday deals
| Deal | What you pay | What you need |
|---|---|---|
| Unlimited 5G for $15/month | $15/month for 3 months, then $25/month with AutoPay | Bring your own phone as a new customer |
| Free Samsung Galaxy A37 5G | $0 for the phone, plus your first month at $40 | Bring your number and join the $40 plan |
| iPhone 16e On Us | $99.99 at checkout, paid back with a $100 virtual prepaid Mastercard after your third month | Bring your number and join a plan that starts at $55/month with AutoPay |
The $15/month plan is the easiest way to try Metro, since you can keep your current phone and there's no requirement to bring over your number when you sign up online.
The free phone deals are limited to two lines, and you can't get them if you've been with Metro or T-Mobile in the past 180 days. We rated Metro 4 out of 5 in our Metro by T-Mobile review, and coverage on T-Mobile's network was one reason why.
Xfinity Mobile Black Friday deals
Xfinity's early Black Friday deal gives new Xfinity Internet customers a free Xfinity Mobile line for a year, plus 300Mbps home internet for $40/month for the first year. You can also choose $45/month for the same 300Mbps plan with a five-year price guarantee, and the free mobile line is included either way.
Xfinity Mobile runs on Verizon's network, and the free line costs $30/month on Mobile Select after the first year. You need Xfinity Internet to get Xfinity Mobile at all, so this deal makes the most sense if you were already planning to switch your home internet. The offer runs through December 1, 2026. Our Xfinity Mobile review covers how the service works.
Which prepaid Black Friday deal is best for you?
The best prepaid Black Friday deal for you depends on which network works best where you live and whether you need a new phone. This table matches each prepaid smartphone Black Friday deal to the shopper it fits best.
Best prepaid Black Friday deal by shopper
| If you want | Best deal | Why |
|---|---|---|
| The cheapest year of unlimited data | Mint Mobile 12-month Unlimited for $180 | $15/month on T-Mobile's network |
| Verizon's network with premium data | Visible+ Pro annual plan for $225 | $18.75/month with code BLACKFRIDAY |
| To pay month to month | Metro's $15/month plan or Visible with HOLIDAYHACK | No big upfront payment |
| A new Android phone | Mint Mobile Pixel 11 for $399 | $579 total with a year of Unlimited |
| A cheap iPhone | Metro iPhone 16e On Us | Free after a $100 virtual prepaid card |
| A deal without switching carriers | Visible $480 phone credit | Open to existing Visible members |
Prepaid Black Friday deals: FAQ
Are prepaid Black Friday deals better than Verizon, T-Mobile, or AT&T deals?
Prepaid Black Friday deals are better for cutting your monthly bill, while Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T deals are better for getting a new flagship phone at a big discount. Mint Mobile's $180 year of Unlimited costs less than two months on T-Mobile's Experience Beyond plan, but the Big Three's free phone deals usually require a premium plan and up to 36 months of bill credits. Our best Black Friday deals page has every Big Three offer if you want to compare.
Are US Mobile deals better during Black Friday or Super Week?
US Mobile's 2025 Black Friday deal had the lowest price on its top plan: A year of Unlimited Premium for $167, compared to $299 during Super Week. Super Week covered more plans and all three of US Mobile's networks, while the Black Friday deal only ran for four days and required bringing your number to US Mobile's AT&T-powered Light Speed network.
Can existing Mint Mobile customers get Black Friday deals?
Mint Mobile's 2026 Black Friday deals are for new customers only, so existing customers can't get the $15/month plans or phone discounts. Current customers can still save by renewing on a 12-month plan and referring friends for Mint Credit, and our Mint Mobile deals page tracks any promo Mint opens up to current customers.
Do prepaid Black Friday deals include phones, or just plans?
Most prepaid Black Friday deals discount plans, but Mint Mobile, Visible, and Metro by T-Mobile are discounting phones this year too. Mint is taking $500 off the Galaxy S26 and Pixel 11, Visible has $480 off select Pixel 11 and Galaxy S26 phones, and Metro has a free Galaxy A37 5G for switchers. Our best cell phone deals page has phone discounts from every carrier.
When is the best time to switch carriers?
The best time to switch carriers is once your current phone is paid off and a new carrier is running a strong promo, which makes the stretch from Black Friday on November 27 through Cyber Monday on November 30 a great window. If you still owe money on a financed phone, you'll need to pay off the balance before you switch. Our guide on when to switch phone carriers covers the timing in more detail.
