On a legacy Verizon 5G plan? This perk is coming to an end.
TL;DR Verizon has notified customers that it's dropping the free Apple Arcade and Google Play Pass perk on some older 5G plans. This applies to users on its 5G Get More and 5G Play More plans. These subscriptions will be discontinued on September 22, 2025. Verizon offers free Apple Arcade and Google Play Pass subscriptions on some of its older 5G plans. Unfortunately, the company has now decided to ditch this perk, and affected users will need to pay for these subscriptions later this year. Verizon has issued a notice to subscribers on its 5G Get More and 5G Play More plans (spotted by Droid-Life), warning them that Apple Arcade and Google Play Pass will no longer be included as perks. The notice, which was issued via the Verizon app, adds that this is effective from September 22, 2025. Check out the outlet's screenshot below. 'If you have or get the promotional subscription, it will be canceled and removed from your account on 9/25/25,' reads another notice on Verizon's Play Pass support page. The page also notes that you'll have until September 22 to claim the free Apple Arcade or Google Play Pass perk. That means you only have a few days to use it before it's discontinued. The carrier first offered free Google Play Pass and Apple Arcade subscriptions in May 2021. All unlimited users initially received a six-month subscription, while 5G Get More and 5G Play More users received a one-year membership at the time. Nevertheless, Verizon clearly wants you to move on from its legacy plans. But you probably shouldn't switch to its entry-level plans, nor any entry-level plan from the big three carriers. Got a tip?

Stay ahead of cyberattacks with EDR
Cyberattacks are often unexpected, with '88% of ransomware -related breaches affecting small to medium sized businesses,' according to Verizon's 2025 report. Oftentimes, businesses are unaware of the modern methods used by hackers and furthermore how to insulate themselves from these threats. These attacks can seize valuable digital assets, including sensitive client information and vital operating systems. That's why businesses must protect their networks through proper cybersecurity protection. Traditionally, antivirus services like Microsoft Defender have been adequate for many businesses looking for basic digital protection, but today's threats require increased security through technology called Endpoint Detection Response (EDR). EDR software continuously monitors network endpoints (laptops, cellphones, etc.) to detect and isolate threats from your network. The difference between traditional antivirus and Endpoint Detection Response (EDR) Traditional antivirus solutions rely on the unique specific patterns of code or 'signatures' to identify cyber threats. These traditional cybersecurity tools are referred to as signature -based antivirus because of their methods. Antivirus companies work to maintain extensive databases full of unique signatures for every known threat. While effective at stopping surface-level threats with known signatures, signature-based antiviruses fail to detect many of the covert and complex threats seen today. Endpoint Detection Response differs from traditional antivirus services by using a variety of tools to proactively insulate your network from cybersecurity threats. First, EDR software establishes a list of acceptable computer applications, websites, and other actions to form a baseline for how your computer should behave. Using complex software and artificial intelligence, the EDR tools can actively monitor your computer, comparing things like energy consumption, processing speed, and file format to protect your computers from hackers and other cyber threats. This means that instead of relying on a unique signature like traditional antivirus, EDR tools focus on how a file or application acts, leading to a more effective and encompassing solution. Today, technology professionals recommend that businesses utilize both EDR and traditional signature-based antivirus solutions. While IT might not be in your job description, the differences between EDR services and signature-based antivirus can mean a widespread impact throughout your organization. To understand the importance of EDR services, break down its tangible impacts on your business in the event of a cyber threat. What do cyberattacks look like? Imagine you work in an office. One morning, you receive an email that looks like it came from your boss. It says, 'Please review the invoice ASAP,' and there is a file attached. Without a second thought, you click on the attachment and open the file. Little do you know, this file contains harmful malware, sent by a deceptive hacker. While this situation can get complicated quickly, let's break down how both traditional antivirus and EDR tools handle this scenario. What traditional antivirus does Once you open the attachment, your antivirus compares the file to the database of known bad files, but there's a problem. The hacker is using new and unknown code, or a 'zero-day' attack, making it undetectable by traditional antivirus software. These zero-day attacks are becoming increasingly common with the help of AI coding tools. Google reports an increase of 37% to 44% from 2023 to 2024 in zero-day unknown signature attacks, adding to the steady growth in recent years. This means the hacker's file has successfully thwarted your traditional signature -based antivirus and begun to steal valuable information from your system undetected by your antivirus software. What EDR tools do Once you open the attachment, the EDR tools don't just look at the file but also your computer's behavior. First, the EDR tools detect that the file is trying to access sensitive information like personal data and passwords. EDR tools also detect that the file is attempting to send this information to a strange server overseas. Comparing this activity to its pre-established baseline, the EDR tools flag the file and alert your IT team. Additionally, the software isolates your infected system from the rest of your network. This effectively minimizes most of the damage, enabling your IT team to clean your system and get you back to business. The takeaway Cyberattacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and traditional antivirus solutions alone may no longer be sufficient to protect your business. To ensure your business is properly secured, it's best to consult with an expert who can recommend the right combination of security measures tailored to your specific environment. Take the next step in cybersecurity protection Traditional antivirus is no longer enough. Today's threats are stealthy, fast moving, and designed to bypass outdated defenses. EDR is the modern solution your business needs to stay ahead of cybercriminals. Want to learn more? At Back To Business I.T., we offer cybersecurity solutions, actively monitor your network, respond to threats, and get you back to business. Don't wait for a breach to realize your antivirus isn't enough. Secure your business with smarter, proactive protection. Visit to schedule a free cybersecurity consultation today.
