Verizon Brings New Tech for Summer Travel

CHATTANOOGA, TN – Verizon joins us this week to help with the summer heat and take the headache out of international travel.

Normally traveling overseas or on a cruise means you need a different cellphone or have outrageous fees.  Verizon Tech Expert Winnie Wright came in to give us some insight as to how they can help.

Winnie Wright is back, and she brought Summer with her with weather in the 80s and travel tech and all kinds of cool stuff. So this week we’re going to show you how Verizon can help you travel both locally to the lake and internationally. I’m Patrick Moates. Welcome to this week’s Tech Byte.

“Roaming and talk used to be such a pain. You and I were talking about how you’d have to get to the airport by, you know, kind of a burner phone and be prepared to just kind of take off from there,” says Wright. “Well, now, Verizon Travel Pass has taken the worry completely off the table. So all you have to do is get your data, your talk and text in over 210 countries and destinations for just $12 per line per day, plus taxes and fees. With travel pass, you don’t have to worry about switching Sims or tracking down a local store. And here’s the best part. As a Verizon customer, you’re only going to have to choose the days that you’re going to use it. So if you’re you know, going to Tuscany for a wine tour, you’re going to the Guinness factory and you’re busy all day, you can just turn that off and you’re not going to get charged.”

 

Verizon can also help you with their cruise package and you can get unlimited talk and text for $20 per line per day and only pay for the days you use it.

For keeping powered up at home and abroad, the Anker MagSafe charging box is compact, without bulky cable and can charge multiple devices numerous times.  It’s the easiest way to stay charged on the go.

 

Throwing back to the boombox days of my childhood, Winnie also brought some new tech with old school vibes.  “I’ve got the JBL party box, says Wright. “It has movie quality sounds. It’s going to enhance your gatherings. I recently used it for my son’s birthday party. It’s great. Built for summer weather on a balcony in Barcelona. Grilling out by the front, by the water with your friends on the boat. This is going to have everything you need.”

If you’re traveling across the US or abroad, Verizon can help your summer trips stay powered up, connected and have an awesome soundtrack.
