As the new school year approaches, Verizon is rolling out exclusive back-to-school deals designed to make essential technology affordable and to help families navigate digital safety. The telecommunications company announced a range of offers, including free devices, discounts for teachers and college students, and resources to promote responsible tech use.
New and existing customers can receive a free Gizmo Watch 4, which includes location tracking, school mode, and approved-contact-only communication, when purchasing the device on a 36-month payment plan with a new watch line and no trade-in required. Additionally, a Kids Bundle allows customers to buy any Android phone and get the Gizmo Watch 4 along with a Samsung Galaxy Tab A11+ at no extra cost, provided they add a new line and service plan for each device. For those seeking a comprehensive Samsung setup, the Samsung Ultimate Bundle offers a free Galaxy Watch9 and Galaxy Tab S10 FE when purchasing a new Samsung phone on a payment plan or bringing their own Android phone with a new line and service plan.
Verizon is also targeting educators and college students with special pricing. Teachers can access the carrier's 5G network for just $25 per line per month with four lines on Unlimited Welcome, with 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 extra discounts available.
Beyond device deals, Verizon emphasizes digital wellness as a cornerstone of its back-to-school strategy. The company offers a downloadable Family Tech Agreement designed to help families set mutual boundaries around screen time. Safety-focused tools include the Gizmo Watch 4 and the Verizon Family App, which provides parental controls, screen time management, teen driving insights, and location check-ins. Free digital wellness resources are available through the Parenting in a Digital World site, offering expert advice for parents, caregivers, students, and teachers.
These offerings reflect Verizon's commitment to providing value, connectivity, and safety tools to support a successful school year. For more details, customers can visit verizon.com/family-tech, verizon.com/deals, the My Verizon app, or find a local store at verizon.com/stores.
