Verizon Simplifies Bundle Plans and Adds Wireless Calling
Consumers Can Choose Six Combinations of Two, Three or Four Services and Add Verizon Wireless to Their Plans
NEW YORK - Starting today, Verizon customers can choose from new packages of two, three or four services -- including wireless calling from Verizon Wireless -- each at a great price. The bundles offer consumers exceptional voice, Internet, TV and wireless service, significant savings, and the security of knowing that it's all backed by Verizon's amazing network and incredible customer service.
Offered in nearly all Verizon's markets as Verizon Double Freedom, Verizon Triple Freedom and Verizon Ultimate Freedom, the six new plans let customers mix and match home services and, for the first time, include wireless service from Verizon Wireless. Verizon offers landline service in 28 states and the District of Columbia.
"Our new plans crack the code on simplicity and value," said Bob Ingalls, executive vice president and chief marketing officer for Verizon's Telecom Group. "With these new packages, we lead the market on choice, value and quality. Customers can get calling and high-speed Internet service on the Verizon network, known for its 99.99 percent record of reliability. With all-digital DIRECTV, already the choice of half a million Verizon customers, new subscribers get top-notch picture quality and entertainment choices.
"By adding Verizon Wireless, consumers can have the convenience of all their services on a single bill and trigger great savings, too.
"Our new packages are the most complete offers in the market," Ingalls said. Verizon already has been testing bundled services in Florida and Texas that include calling plans from Verizon Wireless.
"We think customers know that our services, our network and our support personnel are the best in the market, and we've simplified our offers to make the choice easy," he said.
With Verizon Double Freedom, customers can choose from three combinations of services: Verizon's most popular unlimited calling plan known as Verizon Freedom Essentials coupled with Verizon high-speed Internet service (DSL up to 3 Mbps), with DIRECTV® service billed through Verizon, or with an existing Verizon Wireless plan. Verizon Wireless customers must participate in Verizon's no-cost ONE-BILL® program, which combines wireline and wireless charges on a single bill. Each two-service combination is priced from $64.99 to $74.99 a month, depending on the service area and the combination of services purchased. Discounts, which will appear as cumulative savings printed directly on customer bills, range from $7.99 to $14.99 a month for Double Freedom, depending on the market and the combination of services purchased.
Verizon Triple Freedom links a combination of the Freedom Essentials calling plan and Verizon high-speed Internet (DSL up to 3 megabits per second) with either an existing Verizon Wireless calling plan or DIRECTV service. Verizon Triple Freedom is priced from $94.99 to $104.99 a month, and savings range from $17.98 to $27.98 per month.
Verizon Ultimate Freedom combines all four services at prices from $134.99 to $144.99 a month with monthly savings of up to $27.97 a month.
Customers who choose one of the new plans can migrate to any of the other new plans during the 12-month savings period with no penalty. However, the customer's savings will vary depending on the new plan selected.
The wireless offer calculated in the bundle pricing and savings is the popular Verizon Wireless America's Choice® calling plan at $39.99 monthly access, which includes 450 monthly anytime minutes along with unlimited night and weekend minutes, and unlimited calling with any other Verizon Wireless customer. The DIRECTV offer cited is the Total Choice® package at $44.99 a month, which includes more than 155 all-digital TV channels and 50 channels of XM Satellite Radio music channels.
The plans are available now throughout Verizon's serving area with the exception of Vermont, Nevada, Arizona and Washington. Offers will be expanded to Washington soon.
