BASKING RIDGE, NJ , June 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Join Hans Vestberg, Chairman and CEO, Verizon and President Bill Clinton on the Verizon LinkedIn channel as they share insights and inspiration with graduates heading into uncharted territory. These leaders will share their personal perspectives and wrap up a four-week commencement series aimed at celebrating this remarkable achievement of students from schools all around the world. As part of its on-going support to student learning, Verizon announced today a new discount for undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate college students in the United States.
As college students continue to adapt to new ways of learning, now more than ever they will rely on technology for their education and personal connection needs. That's why starting July 2, Verizon is expanding its best wireless unlimited pricing to college and graduate students. Verizon has long supported families and students through life’s many milestones from their first experiences with technology through their college years, especially now as they may be adapting to new ways of learning.
With the new student discount*, enrolled undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate college students can get up to $25 off per month on two phone lines with Unlimited, in addition to 12 months of Disney+ on us (then, $6.99/mo after)**, along with Apple Music*** included with select Unlimited plans. The new discount will be available to new and existing Verizon wireless consumer customers on Mix & Match wireless unlimited plans.
“The last couple of months have been challenging for students, and being able to stay connected is crucial for their education. At Verizon we are committed to supporting student learning at all stages and we are proud to extend our support to college and graduate students as they prepare for success,” said Frank Boulben, SVP consumer marketing and products at Verizon. “This offer will give college students access to our best pricing on the nation’s most reliable network.”
