Verizon's chief marketing officer, Diego
Scotti, said, "The phone in your pocket gives you access and
control to everything in your life. Now you'll use your phone to
control your wireless experience itself." He added, "Manage your
plan and its capabilities by connecting to your account whenever
and wherever you want through the new My Verizon app. By uniting
America's best network, the new Verizon Plan and the new My
Verizon app, we are delivering the most simple, straightforward
mobile-first experience which we believe will give customers what
they've told us they want: more simplicity and control right in the
palms of their hands."
When you take the speed, responsiveness and reliability of
Verizon's 4G LTE network and match it with the powerful new My
Verizon app and the new Verizon Plan, everything comes to life in
new, innovative ways that weren't possible before. You get a simple
mobile experience that lets you do what you want, when you want and
how you want. Want to stay on your current plan for now? That's
your choice too.
You get all of these capabilities in the palm of your hand with
the new My Verizon app:
- The Feed: All you need to know about your data, account
and bill in one real-time feed, with personalized products and
content just for you.
- The Data Hub: Your data control center. Clearly see how
much data is being used, who is using it and how to get more if you
need it.
- Shop: The fastest and easiest way to browse, buy and
customize the latest devices, all without leaving the app.
- On-Demand Support: In-app help that's there before you
need it with immediate answers without calling for help.
- Simplified Bill: A clear and simple bill that explains
what's changed from month-to-month. Understand and pay your bill
with just a few taps.
The new My Verizon app lets you access more data and new
capabilities on the new Verizon Plan, designed to reflect the
significant growth in individual data use. In April, 2013, an
average Verizon smartphone customer used about 1 GB of data per
month. By April 2016, the average
increased to 2.7 GB per month.
With the new Verizon Plan, you'll get greater value with simple
sizes (S-M-L-XL-XXL) that provide at least 30% more data, so you
can enjoy more of what you love and try new things with your mobile
devices on the most reliable network. You can switch between data
sizes with a few clicks on the My Verizon app, wherever you are
with no penalties, and each size comes with unlimited talk and
text:
- Small: Now $35/month for 2 GB
(was $30/month for 1GB)
- Medium: Now $50/month for 4 GB
(was $45/month for 3GB)
- Large: Now $70/month for 8 GB
(was $60/month for 6GB)
- X-Large: Now $90/month for 16 GB
(was $80/month for 12GB)
- XX-Large: Now $110/month for 24
GB (was $100/month for 18GB)
Within the new Verizon Plan, there are a host of new features
that give you choice and control of your wireless costs and
experience - all of which are controlled through the new My Verizon
app:
- 30% more data - a new plan has five simple sizes, each
with 30% more data. Now you can stream more. Do more. Save
more.
- Carryover Data - keep your unused data for another month
without losing the data you've purchased. Carryover data
automatically rolls your unused data for one month into the next.
And that includes any additional data you purchased that month.
Data expires at the end of the next monthly bill cycle.
- Safety Mode - overages are over. Used all your data
allotment for the month? We've got your back with the new Safety
Mode capability. If you're on the XL or XXL data size, you can
choose to add Safety Mode for free; S-M-L size customers pay
$5 per month if they choose to add
Safety Mode. Switch on Safety Mode within your new My Verizon app,
and once you've hit your data limit we'll move your data from 4G
LTE to 128 kbps speeds – and you won't pay anything for that data
you use over your plan size. The slower speeds in Safety Mode apply
to all your data usage until you upgrade your plan, buy more data
through Data Boost, or until the end of the month, when you start
over with your new allotment of 4G LTE data.
- Data Boost - Get back to full, 4G LTE speed or add more
data whenever you want – either way it's your choice right there in
the new My Verizon app. It costs just $15 for each GB of additional data.
- International calling and roaming for Mexico and Canada - on Verizon Plan XL and larger
sizes, get unlimited talk and text from the U.S. to Mexico and Canada and also enjoy your data plan, along
with unlimited talk and text, when visiting Mexico and Canada. If you're on the new Verizon Plan in
sizes S, M or L, pay just $5 per line
per month for calls from the U.S. To roam with your data and
unlimited talk and text in Canada
or Mexico, you'll use Verizon's
TravelPass feature for $2 per day per
line.
Nancy Clark, senior vice
president of marketing and operations at Verizon, said, "The new
Verizon Plan puts your mobile experience in the palm of your hand
with the My Verizon app, giving you greater value with new
capabilities that get rid of the fear of overages, offer bill
simplicity, and help you better manage your overall mobile
experience with a few quick taps. Your mobile device is the center
of your universe, making the reliability of your mobile network
more critical than ever. When you manage the new Verizon Plan with
the My Verizon app, you're in charge."
You can have up to 10 consumer and business lines on an account.
Line service charges for the new Verizon Plan remain the same:
Every smartphone line is $20 per
month, tablets and Jetpack devices are $10 per month, and connected devices are
$5 per month. Connected devices will
no longer count toward the limit for devices on an account, whether
they're offered by Verizon or not. These include devices such as
hum by Verizon, smartwatches, or GizmoPals.
The new Verizon Plan is also available in new sizes for small
businesses with 11 to 25 lines and comes with the same great
benefits of the consumer XL and larger new Verizon Plans. Monthly
charges for small businesses are just $15 per month for each phone or smartphone on the
new Verizon Plan.
