NEW YORK — As the new school year approaches, Verizon is rolling out a range of exclusive back-to-school deals designed to make essential technology affordable and accessible for families. The offers include free devices such as the Gizmo Watch 4, tablets, and smartwatches, along with discounted service plans for teachers and college students. The initiative also emphasizes digital safety, providing tools like the Verizon Family App and a Family Tech Agreement to help parents manage screen time and online interactions.
Among the key promotions, new and existing customers can get a free Gizmo Watch 4 with a new watch line on a 36-month payment plan, no trade-in required. The watch features location tracking, school mode, and approved-contact-only communication. For families seeking a bundle, purchasing any Android phone allows customers to receive the Gizmo Watch 4 and a Samsung Galaxy Tab A11+ for free with new lines and service plans. The Samsung Ultimate Bundle offers a Galaxy Watch9 and a Galaxy Tab S10 FE on us when buying a new Samsung phone or bringing an Android phone with a new line.
Teachers can access Verizon's best 5G network for $25 per line per month with four lines on Unlimited Welcome, plus additional discounts that stack. College students can save up to $25 per month on two lines of mobile service when bundled with home internet. These discounts aim to reduce the financial burden of back-to-school tech expenses.
Verizon is also focusing on digital wellness. The company provides a downloadable Family Tech Agreement to help families establish mutual boundaries around screen time. The Verizon Family App offers parental controls, teen driving insights, and location check-ins. Free digital wellness resources are available on the Parenting in a Digital World site, offering expert advice for parents, caregivers, students, and teachers.
“From the classroom to the living room, Verizon is committed to providing the ultimate combination of value, connection, and digital safety tools to power a successful school year,” the company stated. The deals and resources are accessible at verizon.com/deals, the My Verizon app, or at local stores.
