Verizon helps with Back To School Tech
Chattanooga, TN – It’s hard to believe, but back to school is finally upon us after a long, hot summer. Verizon joined us this week to help out with some back to school specials in time for next weekends sales.
“This back to school season. This is the Motorola Razr 2025. I’ve got that right here. And this cute, fun pink color. It’s also really compact. If you take a look at it. It’s smaller than the palm of my hand, which is great for backpacks,” says Wright. “It’s durable. I mean, it’s got some weight to it, which is obviously going to be a must when you’re talking about teens. It’s also got a built in Moto AI and it’s got Google, Gemini. So you’re going to have access to all those latest features, maybe even homework help. But again, it’s going to be a good device for those parents that are really looking for the opportunity for that first phone, or maybe just something to send the kids off to college. And you want to make sure that this is going to be maybe a better economic decision.”
Verizon has tech that goes beyond the classroom, and I don’t know about you folks but I love the idea of turning the air conditioner down on my drive home. Verizon offers the Google Nest Learning Thermostat which I’ve had for a number of years now. It’s handy, I can check or change the temperature from an app on my phone and make adjustments. It also learns our schedule to save energy during the day when we aren’t home.
For people on the go needing to make sure all their devices are powered, Verizon offers the Anker foldable wireless charging station. It can power all your devices and can charge most smart watches to 50% in just about a half hour.
WINNIE:
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, you’re going from school to practice home and there’s a lot going on throughout the day. And again, we don’t want anybody having any excuse for the device. Not being charged. So the Anker foldable wireless charging station is going to be essential. I’ve got that one right here. So it’s going to power your iPhone, your AirPods or Apple Watch all at once. And it can charge your watch to almost 50% in just 30 minutes.
“You know, younger and younger kids want the latest tech,” says Wright. “I’ve got the gizmo here, I know mine. You know he loves playing with my smartwatch, seeing all the features with the gizmo, you can give them what they’re looking for, that latest tech, but also give yourself a peace of mind. Teach them to use the alarm clock feature. Call or text a parent approved list of contacts so they can’t just call or text anybody and track their location in real time with the Verizon Family app. You know, think about like you’re giving kids the opportunity to walk to the bus station for the first time. You can actually watch them. And if they deviate from the path, you’ll know if they’re supposed to be going straight from school to practice and you see something that doesn’t look right, you can track. Make sure you know exactly where they are at all times. Really is a big peace of mind for parents.”
Don’t forget to visit your local Verizon store for Verizon Family Weekend August 9th and 10th. Their experts can help you find the latest tech for your school kids and the ones that just need their hands on the latest tech.
