NEW YORK, NY — As the new school year approaches, Verizon is introducing exclusive back-to-school deals designed to make essential technology accessible and affordable for families. The offerings include free devices, discounted plans for teachers and college students, and built-in digital safety tools to address parents' concerns about online safety.
New and existing customers can get a free Gizmo Watch 4 when purchasing on a 36-month payment plan with a new watch line, no trade-in required. The watch provides location tracking, school mode, and approved-contact-only communication. Additionally, a Kids Bundle allows customers to buy any Android phone and receive the Gizmo Watch 4 along with a Samsung Galaxy Tab A11+ on us, with a new line and service plan on each device. For those seeking more comprehensive options, the Samsung Ultimate Bundle offers a Galaxy Watch9 and a Galaxy Tab S10 FE on us when buying a new Samsung phone on a payment plan or bringing their own Android phone with a new line and service plan.
Teachers can access Verizon's best 5G network for just $25/line/month with four lines on Unlimited Welcome, with additional discounts that stack. College students can save up to $25/month on two lines of mobile service when bundled with home internet. These discounts aim to ease the financial burden of back-to-school preparations.
Verizon emphasizes digital wellness as a key component of its back-to-school strategy. The company offers a Family Tech Agreement, a downloadable and printable document designed to help families establish mutual boundaries for screen time. The Verizon Family App provides parental controls, screen time management, teen driving insights, and location check-ins. Free digital wellness resources are available through the Parenting in a Digital World site and other resources for parents, caregivers, students, teachers, and schools.
Verizon positions itself as a one-stop shop for families navigating the digital landscape, aiming to make the transition to the new school year easier, safer, and more rewarding. The company's commitment to providing value, connection, and digital safety tools is intended to support a successful school year from the classroom to the living room.
