Verizon is following T-Mobile’s lead and making it seamless and free to test out its network. With the new eSIM trials, you can start 30 days of service with Verizon to test out its 5G/4G coverage and performance. Find out more about Verizon free eSIM trial below.

If you’re not already on the Verizon network, visit the Verizon Test Drive FAQ page and scan the QR code with your mobile phone to download the My Verizon app, which unlocks the free experience. Once installed, just follow a few easy steps to sign up for the program and activate an unlocked, eSIM-capable smartphone.

“There is no better time to switch to Verizon than right now and we are confident that once you take a test drive, you’ll wonder why you ever settled for one of the discount carriers,” said Chris Emmons, vice president of devices and accessories at Verizon. “So confident, in fact, that we’ve created Verizon Test Drive, a simple, seamless way for new customers to try out our network and services on an unlocked eSIM smartphone, for free, over a 30-day trial period without any contractual obligations.”

Here’s what you get with Verizon Test Drive:

• No disruptions to your existing service
• Up to 30 days on Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband (on compatible phones), 5G Nationwide and 4G LTE, on us
• Unlimited talk and text²

Check your device

The phone you are test driving on must be carrier unlocked. Unlike Verizon, other carriers don’t make this process easy. If you are a T-Mobile customer, you must pay off all your outstanding device payments, and they may request proof of purchase or additional information to unlock it. For AT&T, you need to call customer support and ask them to liberate your phone. Verizon Test Drive will check your phone and let you know if it is unlocked.

It’s the perfect time to switch to Verizon — with content, accessory and device perks you just can’t miss out on
