Verizon offers multi-year price lock as homes get more connected
Today's families are managing more connected devices than ever to power work, learning, security and connection — often all at once. That's shifting how they prioritize their data plans. 📈 Key numbers: The average Verizon internet household now manages 18 connected devices and consumes 656 GB of data monthly, up 6% YoY, according to the latest Verizon Consumer Connections Report. 42-45% of U.S. internet households own at least one smart home device. 20% of U.S. internet households own a smart video doorbell. 16% own a smart thermostat. What this means: Connectivity has evolved from a nice-to-have to a must-have. 🔒 Verizon is offering an industry-first 3-year price lock guarantee on all myPlan (mobile) and myHome (home internet) network plans, available to both new and existing customers. Why it's important: The offer meets a growing consumer demand for financial stability, control and simplicity — especially as families weigh technology investments alongside everyday priorities. Here's what else: Verizon is also now offering a free phone to new and existing wireless customers on any myPlan when they trade in a device — regardless of its condition. Plus, get even more immediate savings when bundling home internet, taking $15 off the total monthly bill. The impact: Families can stay confidently connected — with steady rates on core services like calling, data and texting. Customers can also save over 40% on five of the most popular subscription services, Netflix & Max and Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+. All five for just $20 per month. Plus, free satellite messaging on qualifying devices. 🏡 Why now: With spring homebuying season underway, the busiest time for real estate, families making big moves may be rethinking how they're setting up their homes — and the tech that powers them. Verizon's 3-year price lock guarantee offers predictable, multi-year stability across connectivity costs. The takeaway: As families upgrade their homes and devices, Verizon's price lock guarantee offers something rare in tech: predictability. With stable rates, smart perks and guaranteed phone trade-ins, it's a connectivity plan that moves at the speed of modern life — without the surprise charges.

Verizon is adding Google One AI Premium as a perk for some customers
Verizon's myPlan wireless and myHome internet subscriptions allow users to choose from a selection of perks, which include Netflix & Max with ads, a Disney bundle, a Walmart+ membership and numerous others. Another one is joining their ranks; this time, it's a Google One AI Premium subscription for $10 monthly instead of $20. The Google One AI Premium perk functions the same as the original one aside from the 50 percent discount. It includes access to Gemini Advanced, which is capable of summarizing more information and performing 'Deep Research.' Google says Deep Research can use Gemini to go through 1,500 pages of information and prepare a report for you within minutes. You can also now use Gemini in Google Docs and Gmail. As the cherry on top, there's 2TB of Google One cloud storage and a handful of other benefits like the ability to share that storage with your family and a recurring 10 percent back from any purchase on the Google Store. Verizon customers can select Google One AI Premium as their perk for their plans starting February 6. This applies to new and existing customers, as perks can be swapped. It's worth noting that if you don't care about Gemini, Google has long offered 2TB of Drive storage for $10 a month or $100 a year.
