Verizon Launches Exclusive Back-to-School Deals with Free Devices and Digital Safety Tools

NEW YORK, NY — As the new school year approaches, Verizon is offering exclusive deals on tech devices and digital safety tools to help families prepare. The telecom giant announced a range of promotions, including free Gizmo Watch 4 for new and existing customers, a Kids Bundle with a free tablet, and a Samsung Ultimate Bundle. These offers aim to make essential technology affordable while providing parents with peace of mind through built-in safety features.

The centerpiece of the promotion is the Gizmo Watch 4, which allows parents to track their child's location, set school mode, and communicate only with approved contacts. New and existing customers can get the watch for free on a 36-month payment plan with a new watch line, no trade-in required. For families needing more devices, the Kids Bundle lets customers buy any Android phone and receive the Gizmo Watch 4 along with a Samsung Galaxy Tab A11+ on us, with a new line and service plan on each device. The Samsung Ultimate Bundle offers a similar deal: eligible customers can 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 targeting educators and college students with special discounts. Teachers can get the company's best 5G network for just $25/line/month with four lines on Unlimited Welcome, plus additional discounts that stack. College students can save up to $25/month on two lines of mobile service with additional discounts when bundled with home internet.

Beyond device deals, Verizon is emphasizing digital wellness resources to address the challenges of navigating the digital landscape during the school year. The company offers a free Family Tech Agreement, a downloadable and printable document designed to help families establish mutual boundaries around screen time. Additionally, the Verizon Family App provides parental controls, screen time management, teen driving insights, and location check-ins. Parents can also access free parenting advice on the Parenting in a Digital World site and other digital wellness resources.

These initiatives reflect Verizon's commitment to providing a combination of value, connection, and safety tools to power a successful school year. For more information, visit verizon.com/family-tech, verizon.com/deals, the My Verizon app, or find a local store at verizon.com/stores.
