Verizon is one of the leading technology and telecommunication providers in the world, like T-Mobile. It offers wireless services, internet services, and more communication-related products and transactions. To promote its own sales, Verizon always works with third-party music services such as Apple Music, providing extra deals or promotions to endow its customers with the opportunity to get those music service’s premium plans. In other words, if you purchase selected Verizon products or services, you are eligible to get free or discounted music service subscriptions.
It is a pity that, as the most popular music streaming platform worldwide, Spotify has not been included in Verizon's Bundles. But with Verizon's plans, you can control the cellular data usage for the Spotify app. In this article, let's roll up to find a new way of using Spotify offline without using Verizon's data.
Part 1. Does Verizon offer Spotify Premium
Nope. As we stated at the beginning, there is no Verizon Spotify Bundle. Thus, though you pay for Verizon's Unlimited Wireless Plans, you cannot access Spotify premium content unless you subscribe to Spotify additionally. The only music platform that is tied up with Verizon is Apple Music. And please note that if you are using Verizon's telecommunication service on your phone, you need its data to run the Spotify app on your device, which means you need to buy its wireless plans.

According to a definitive report, Spotify will use 0.6-8 MB (megabytes) of cellular data to stream a typical track. Specifically, 2 MB of data will be consumed if you stream a 3-minute Spotify track while 40 MB will be used for streaming on Spotify for an hour.
And the data usage is different with different Spotify streaming quality. It is indicated that, if you play Spotify music in low quality (160 kbps), 1 GB (gigabyte) can be used for 92.5 hours. On the contrary, if you set the Spotify streaming quality as high (256 or 320kbps), you can only listen to music on Spotify for 13.8 hours within one GB. A Spotify and Verizon user shows his data usage in the below picture, which indicates that he had used over 11 GB a month, which is exceed other apps by far.
Note: If you don't get a Verizon Unlimited plan but the common $15 plan, the quality of streamed Spotify songs will be limited to 256 Kbps.
