Black Friday Phone Plan and Internet Deals 2026: US and UK

Plan and internet deals published so far

Black Friday internet deals and phone plan offers for 2026 are easy to misread, because the headline price usually lasts only a few months. Black Friday is Friday 27 November. This guide has a US half (prepaid plans, switching offers and home internet) and a UK half (broadband and SIM only). The table lists offers published on the providers' own pages, read on 1 November 2026, with the price that applies after the promotion where the provider states it.

Only Lightning Fibre labelled its offer Black Friday on 1 November. The others are current offers that run into Black Friday week. We add each provider's Black Friday offer here as it is published, with the price after the promo.

US prepaid and no-contract plans

Cricket Wireless

Cricket's own Black Friday page says its Black Friday deals typically start before Thanksgiving and run past Cyber Monday, and that in 2025 they launched on 14 November. It says holiday deals are available online and in store unless noted, and that you can keep your phone and still save on a 5G plan when you switch. Cricket had not posted its 2026 deals on 1 November. Handsets on sale are covered in our Black Friday phone deals guide; this guide covers the plans.

Visible

Visible's offer with code HOLIDAYHACK gives new members $6 a month off one of three plans: the $25 Visible plan for up to 12 months, the $35 Visible+ plan for up to 36 months, or the $45 Visible+ Pro plan for up to 60 months. Its terms say the code does not apply to annual plans, you must keep service without a break for the full period, moving to a lower plan ends the discount, and after the credits end the plan moves to the then-current market rate. Visible says taxes and fees are included in the amount you pay. Its page's description still names an older code, SAVE6, but the offer box uses HOLIDAYHACK.

Total Wireless, Straight Talk and Boost Mobile

Total Wireless offers a 5-year price guarantee on its Total MAX 5G bring-your-own plan with Auto Pay: $30 for the first month, then $20 a month. Its terms say the Auto Pay discount starts the month after you enrol, the plan needs a compatible unlocked phone and SIM, and the guarantee covers the tax-inclusive monthly rate but not one-time charges or add-ons. Straight Talk lists unlimited plans starting at $25 a month, and its switching offer pairs a phone at $299 with $300 in service credits over 12 months on a Platinum Unlimited plan. Boost Mobile showed $10 a month for 6 months for bringing your own phone.

Metro, Mint and Tello

Metro by T-Mobile, Mint Mobile and Tello blocked our reader on 1 November, so we have no offers from them yet. We add their Black Friday plans when we can read them on their own sites.

Switching credits and gift cards

Switching offers pay you to move your number, but they come with conditions. On 1 November:

• Costco: lists "Get $450 when you switch" for both T-Mobile and AT&T, from 16 to 30 November, in warehouses and online. Costco's page links to the details; read them for the plan, the port-in rule and how the $450 is paid before you sign up.
• Straight Talk: $300 in service credits over 12 months with a Platinum Unlimited plan, alongside its phone offer. Credits paid monthly mean you need to stay the full 12 months to get them all.
• Visible: the HOLIDAYHACK discount is lost if you move to a lower plan or cancel.

Before you switch, check whether your current phone is paid off and unlocked. If it is financed, ask your current carrier what you would owe if you leave, and set that against the switching credit.

US home internet deals

No US cable or fiber provider we read had published a Black Friday 2026 internet offer by 1 November. What they did publish:

• Verizon: home internet plans from $30 a month for Fios 300 Mbps, with Auto Pay and paper-free billing required and subject to credit approval, a price guarantee on its plans and a 5-year price guarantee on Fios 5 Gig.
• Straight Talk Home Internet: $45 a month on its own, or $35 a month with a Straight Talk Gold or Platinum Unlimited phone plan, plus up to $45 off when you buy a router and one month of service.
• Xfinity: its deals page blocked our reader.

For home internet, ask about the equipment fee or router price, any installation charge, whether the speed is fiber, cable or fixed wireless, and how long the advertised price lasts. A Black Friday price that rises after 12 months can cost more over two years than a plan with a longer price guarantee.

UK broadband deals

For readers in the UK, prices are in pounds and contracts are usually 12 or 24 months. On 1 November:

• Lightning Fibre: "Early Access Black Friday" at £19 a month for 6 months on its 1Gbps and 2.5Gbps speeds, for new customers on a 24-month contract. It says customers stuck in another contract can book their install before the end of January 2027 to lock in the deal, and it states no annual price rises. Its standard 24-month price list on the same page shows its 1Gb plan at £39 a month with free setup.
• Virgin Media: its Black Friday broadband page says the deals are coming in November 2026. Its FAQ says deals are often released just before Black Friday and may continue over the weekend into Cyber Monday, and it lists offers for existing customers too.
• Community Fibre: its home page did not show offer text we could read.

Before you sign, check the monthly price for every month of the contract, the setup fee and whether the provider adds a mid-contract price rise. Lightning Fibre's page shows a £48 setup fee on its 150Mb 24-month plan and free setup on its faster 24-month plans.

UK SIM-only deals

Smarty's rolling monthly SIM-only plans on 1 November were £10 for 40GB, £12 for 100GB, £15 for 150GB, £17 for 200GB and £20 for unlimited data, with a 32GB plan at £8 promoted as double data for the same price. Smarty says it does not apply annual price rises to its rolling one-month plans, and it allows up to 12GB of your monthly data in the EU.

VOXI and iD Mobile blocked our reader, O2's SIM-only page showed us a queue page, and the Tesco Mobile SIM-only page we tried no longer worked. We add their Black Friday SIM-only offers as we can read them. To choose a data allowance, look at your phone's data use over the last few months in its settings and pick the plan just above it, rather than paying for unlimited data you do not use.

Total cost: work out the real price

The fair way to compare plans is the total for the period you will keep them. Two worked examples from the published prices:

• Visible, 12 months: the $25 plan at $19 a month with HOLIDAYHACK costs $228 for the first year. After that, Visible says the plan moves to its then-current market rate.
• Total Wireless, 12 months: $30 for the first month and $20 for the next 11 months comes to $250, with the $20 rate guaranteed for 5 years under its terms.
• Lightning Fibre, 24 months: 6 months at £19 is £114. The page does not state the monthly price for months 7 to 24 beside the offer, so ask for it in writing; at its listed £39 for the 1Gb plan, those 18 months would be £702, for £816 over the contract.

Add any setup, equipment or SIM fee, and compare the total with what you pay now. A lower headline price is only a deal if the total is lower too.

Cyber Monday plan and internet deals

Cyber Monday is Monday 30 November 2026. Cricket says its deals usually run past Cyber Monday, and its Black Friday page already has a Cyber Monday section. Virgin Media says its event may continue into Cyber Monday. Costco's switching offers run until 30 November. We add Cyber Monday plan and broadband offers here as providers publish them, and all Cyber Monday offers we track are on our Cyber Monday deals page.

How we check these deals

We read each provider's own pages from a US server. UK sites can show UK visitors different offers, so check the provider's page from the UK before you order. Every price, term and date on this page comes from those pages, with the date we read them: 1 November 2026 for this version. Where a site blocked us, we say so and leave its offers out. We do not test networks or speeds and we do not compare coverage; check each provider's coverage map for your address.

We update this guide as providers publish their Black Friday offers. All Black Friday offers we track are on our Black Friday deals page, and our other guides are in the Black Friday hub. Wireless earbuds are covered in our headphones guide. This guide is written by the SavingArena Editorial Team.
