Verizon’s Postpaid Phone Losses Continue, Full-Year Forecast Improves
Wall Street JournalMonday, July 21, 2025 at 11:57:00 AM
Verizon is still losing postpaid phone subscribers—those coveted customers who pay monthly bills—thanks to aggressive deals from competitors. However, there’s a silver lining: the company raised its full-year profit forecast, suggesting cost-cutting or other strategies might be offsetting the subscriber bleed.
Editor’s Note: Losing postpaid subscribers isn’t great—it’s the bread and butter of wireless carriers—but Verizon’s improved outlook hints they’re finding ways to stay profitable despite the squeeze. For consumers, this means the promo wars aren’t slowing down, so better deals might still be up for grabs. For investors, it’s a mixed bag: growth is shaky, but the bottom line might hold.
