George Talks Travel Tech: 5 Verizon accessories you need this summer vacation
June 02 2022 - 03:00PM
Verizon sells a ton of tech to make your life easier and more fun
on your summer vacation. I’ll save you some time and fill you in on
the best travel gadgets and accessories that I legit take with me
everywhere I go.
JBL Flip 6 Portable Waterproof Speaker: I love
listening to music while riding my electric bicycle when I’m down
the shore, but most portable speakers sound tinny or are cumbersome
to carry around. Enter the JBL Flip 6, which is now
semi-permanently mounted on my Juiced Hyperscrambler 2 that I bring
with me wherever I go during summer downtime. Seriously, there’s
nothing cooler than rolling down Ocean Avenue in Wildwood, New
Jersey with Hot Water Music blasting from the dual-sided woofers.
It also makes me a lot more obvious to oncoming traffic, which
means a safer ride for me and my four-year-old passenger.
Chromecast with Google TV:
Here’s a lifehack that will save your vacation if you are traveling
with a toddler: Preload and sign into all your favorite on-demand
apps on your Chromecast before you leave town, and simply plug it
into a free HDMI slot in the TV at your Airbnb for instant access
to all the content you watch at home. As an added bonus, get
Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ and more included with select Verizon 5G
Unlimited plans.
Belkin BOOST UP CHARGE PRO 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Pad
with MagSafe: The moment I roll into a
hotel, the first thing I do is plug in my Belkin wireless charging
bed next to my own bed to serve as a battle station for all my
smart devices. This specific model is my favorite because it’s flat
and easy to fit in a carry-on and eliminates three separate
charging cables. I keep two on-hand for my wife and I, so we aren’t
fighting over a charger.
Razer Kishi Gaming Controller:
Want to game from the beach (or just about anywhere)? Just pop your
iOS or Android smartphone in between the Razer Kishi and you have
the perfect mobile-gaming experience that taps into console games.
You can easily play console-quality games via the Microsoft
GamePass library or get the advantage on mobile games with the
dedicated joysticks. Trying to score some bonus points while
working on your tan? I was able to play Gears of War on the beach
in Fort Lauderdale over Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband1 with very low
lag and speeds that eclipse Wi-Fi.
mophie powerstation go rugged with air
compressor: This combo
charger/compressor/jumpstarter recently saved my vacation. We were
heading down to Washington, D.C. and I caught a nail in my tire the
day we were going to head on the 225 mile drive home. With no
repair shops open on a Sunday and no spare in the car, I had to
rely on my mophie powerstation to get us home by checking the
pressure at every rest stop and filling up accordingly. We got home
with zero issue and it also kept my son’s tablet charged the whole
time with plenty of charge to spare. I can’t recommend this
enough.
Bonus 5G perks for summer
fun
If you’re headed overseas with a select Verizon 5G
Unlimited plan, don’t forget that you get a TravelPass day on us
each month and unlimited mobile hotspot data. That means you get
unlimited talk, text and data in more than 210 countries and
destinations for 24 hours, included each month for as long as you
stay on this plan.
Verizon Visa® Card holders also get two free days
of TravelPass annually and aren’t charged foreign transaction fees2
when spending abroad, and there’s no annual fee too. Here’s a bonus
life hack: When you open a Verizon Visa Card account, you also get
up to $100 in credit applied to your wireless bill over the first
24 months — just use the card to pay your Verizon bill every
month3.
Want to bring your data with you to the most
popular beaches, lakeside retreats or mountain resorts in the U.S.?
You’re in luck because Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband service is
available in many popular beach and vacation destinations,
including along the Jersey Shore, at Niagara Falls, in Ocean City,
MD, along the beaches in Ft Lauderdale and Miami, and in San Diego
and Santa Monica, CA. Check out our coverage map before you leave
home. Also, select 5G Unlimited plans offer unlimited high-speed
hotspot data that your other devices can use, so your smartphone
becomes a Wi-Fi connection for devices like tablets, laptops and
more.
Finally, if you’re traveling with the family and
looking to save on your total wireless bill, check out Verizon’s 5G
Start, which is just $35 per month per line for four lines with
auto pay4.
Today’s announcement builds on Verizon’s 5G growth
