NEW YORK, NY — As the new school year approaches, Verizon is rolling out exclusive back-to-school deals designed to make essential technology affordable while prioritizing digital safety for families. The offers include free devices for new and existing customers, discounts for teachers and college students, and a suite of digital wellness resources.
Among the key promotions is the Gizmo Watch 4, which new and existing customers can get for free when purchasing on a 36-month payment plan with a new watch line. The watch provides parents with peace of mind through features such as location tracking, school mode, and approved-contact-only communication. Additionally, Verizon offers a Kids Bundle where customers can buy any Android phone and receive the Gizmo Watch 4 along with a Samsung Galaxy Tab A11+ at no extra cost, with a new line and service plan on each device.
For those seeking a more comprehensive upgrade, the Samsung Ultimate Bundle allows eligible customers to buy a new Samsung phone on a payment plan or bring their own Android phone with a new line, and get a Galaxy Watch9 and a Galaxy Tab S10 FE on us with a service plan on each device.
Verizon is also extending significant discounts to educators and college students. Teachers can get the best 5G network for just $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, with additional discounts available.
Beyond device deals, Verizon is addressing the biggest back-to-school challenge for families: navigating the digital landscape and ensuring online safety. The company is positioning itself as a one-stop shop for simple plans and powerful digital wellness tools, including the Verizon Family App, which provides parental controls, screen time management, teen driving insights, and location check-ins. Additionally, Verizon offers a downloadable, printable Family Tech Agreement designed to help families establish mutual boundaries around screen time.
Verizon also provides free digital wellness resources through its Parenting in a Digital World site, offering expert advice for parents, caregivers, students, teachers, and schools. These resources aim to make the transition back to school easier, safer, and more rewarding.
“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 promotions are available through Verizon’s website, the My Verizon app, and local stores. For more information, visit verizon.com/deals or verizon.com/stores.
