    January 30, 2026, 8:11 AM EST. Verizon surpassed expectations with 616,000 wireless subscriber additions in Q4 2025, marking the highest growth in six years fueled by aggressive holiday promotions like four lines for $100 monthly.

CEO Dan Schulman emphasized resilience against competitor poaching amid company restructuring that included 13,000 job cuts.
