Verizon has announced a suite of exclusive back-to-school deals aimed at making essential technology affordable and safe for families. The offers include free devices such as the Gizmo Watch 4, Samsung Galaxy tablets, and smartwatches, along with discounts for teachers and college students, as the company highlights digital safety tools to ease the transition into the new school year.
New and existing customers can get a free Gizmo Watch 4 when purchasing on a 36-month payment plan with a new watch line, no trade-in required. The watch provides location tracking, school mode, and approved-contact-only communication, giving parents peace of mind. For families seeking a comprehensive bundle, buying any Android phone qualifies customers to receive the Gizmo Watch 4 along with a Samsung Galaxy Tab A11+ at no additional cost, when adding a new line and service plan for each device. Additionally, the Samsung Ultimate Bundle allows eligible customers to buy a new Samsung phone or bring their own Android phone with a new line to get a Galaxy Watch9 and a Galaxy Tab S10 FE on us with service plans.
Teachers can access Verizon'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. These deals are available at verizon.com/deals or through the My Verizon app.
Beyond device discounts, Verizon is focusing on digital wellness. The company offers a downloadable Family Tech Agreement that helps families establish mutual boundaries for screen time, including rules for parents. The Verizon Family App 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, teachers, and schools.
Verizon positions these offerings as a one-stop shop for simple plans and powerful digital wellness tools, aiming to make the back-to-school transition easier and safer. The initiative addresses the growing challenge of navigating the digital landscape, prioritizing online safety alongside affordable tech.
