Verizon Crediting You $10 Each Month When Adding a New Line to a Family Plan
Verizon’s throwing in a little promotion to their mix of plans this holiday season for the families who want their kids connected on the go. If you’re on Verizon’s $69.99 or higher family plan and you add a smartphone line, they’ll credit you $10 for each month for each line you add, saving you $240 per phone over the two years you’re married to them. Awesome! Right…? Of course there’s a catch! Those phones must be smartphones and they must be tied to Verizon’s $29.99 unlimited data package. Essentially, you’re getting a $10 discount on unlimited data without the option to use the more affordable $15, 150MB/month package. It starts tomorrow, November 19th, and you’ll have until January 7th 2011 to take advantage of it. Read on for the full press details.
Add a Smartphone ON the NATION’s
LARGEST And MOST RELIABLE 3G Network And Save Big
BASKING RIDGE, N.J. – Black Friday and the holiday shopping rush are right around the corner, and Verizon Wireless is giving customers an early incentive to share the nation’s largest and most reliable wireless voice and 3G data network. Beginning Nov. 19, customers can add a new 3G Smartphone on a secondary line and receive a credit equal to the cost of adding a line to a Nationwide Family SharePlan. The $9.99 monthly credit for the new line can save customers nearly $240 per line over the life of the two-year contract.
“This is an ideal option for customers with a spouse or child wanting to move to a smartphone,” said Marni Walden, vice president and chief marketing officer for Verizon Wireless. “The Verizon Wireless portfolio has a host of options from which to choose, including the recently announced Samsung Continuum™, the DROID PRO by Motorola or the BlackBerry Bold – all perfectly suited for work or play.”
To take advantage of the Smartphones Talk Free promotion, customers will need a Nationwide Family SharePlan starting at $69.99 monthly access for 700 Anytime Minutes and add a $29.99 data plan for each additional smartphone. Customers currently on a Nationwide Family SharePlan may have a total of up to five lines, and receive the promotional credit on each new line that uses a new smartphone. The $9.99 credit expires after 24 months. The offer ends Jan. 7, 2011.
