Verizon is rolling out a series of exclusive back-to-school deals aimed at making essential technology affordable for families while prioritizing online safety. The telecommunications giant is offering free devices, discounted plans, and digital wellness resources to help parents navigate the digital landscape as the new school year approaches.
Among the key promotions, new and existing customers can receive a free Gizmo Watch 4 with a new watch line on a 36-month payment plan. The Gizmo Watch 4 includes location tracking, school mode, and approved-contact-only communication, providing peace of mind for parents. Additionally, the Kids Bundle allows customers to buy any Android phone and get the Gizmo Watch 4 with a Samsung Galaxy Tab A11+ at no extra cost when adding a new line and service plan for each device.
The Samsung Ultimate Bundle offers eligible customers a free Galaxy Watch9 and Galaxy Tab S10 FE when purchasing a new Samsung phone on a payment plan or bringing their own Android phone with a new line and service plan. For educators, teachers can access Verizon's 5G network for $25 per line per month with four lines on Unlimited Welcome, with additional discounts that stack. College students can save up to $25 per month on two lines of mobile service when bundled with home internet.
Verizon is also addressing digital safety with a suite of tools designed to foster intentional connectivity. The company has released a downloadable Family Tech Agreement to help families establish mutual boundaries around screen time, ensuring that parents also adhere to device-free moments. The Verizon Family App provides centralized 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, offering expert advice for parents, caregivers, students, and teachers.
These offerings come as families face the challenge of balancing technology use with academic focus. Verizon aims to simplify back-to-school preparations by providing a one-stop shop for both devices and digital wellness tools. The company emphasizes that its promotions are designed to deliver value without compromising connectivity or safety.
Customers can explore these deals at verizon.com/deals, the My Verizon app, or at local stores. With these initiatives, Verizon seeks to empower families for a successful school year by combining affordability, reliable network access, and robust digital safety features.
