Beginning today, Verizon is providing unlimited

this week, this now includes the following counties in the
Carolinas:
- North Carolina
- South Carolina:
- Beaufort
- Berkeley
- Charleston
- Colleton
- Georgetown
- Horry
- Jasper
- Williamsburg
Customers do not have to take any action to take advantage of
the offer and can verify eligibility for call/text/data relief by
entering their zip code here:

Retail Store HoursBecause storm damage and
power outages may affect our normal store hours in certain areas,
we recommend shopping and accessing customer assistance online at
www.verizon.com or by using the MyVerizon app. If you’d rather
visit a store, you can find the nearest Verizon location and
schedule an appointment by visiting: www.verizon.com/stores.
Verizon Frontline Support for First
RespondersThe Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team has
deployed across the Southeast to provide mission-critical
communications support to public safety agencies responding to
Hurricane Ian at no cost to the supported agencies.
The team is in contact with federal, state and local emergency
management teams and is coordinating communication needs and
efforts with more than 30 public safety agencies operating in the
region. The Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team has now deployed
more than 220 Verizon Frontline solutions, such as smartphones,
mobile hotspots, and portable satellite assets in support of
emergency response operations in the region.
Satellite Picocells on Trailers (SPOTs) have been deployed by
the Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team to help provide first
responders operating in North Port, Marco Island and Cape Coral
with mission-critical communications capabilities as response
efforts continue.
The Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team provides on-demand,
emergency assistance during crisis situations to government
agencies and emergency responders on a 24/7 basis.
Here’s a quote you can use from one of our local
leaders:“Our hearts go out to all who are impacted by
Hurricane Ian,” said Shawn Alexander, consumer vice president for
Verizon. “Our hope is this offer gives our customers one less thing
to worry about so they can focus on staying safe.”
Verizon supports its employees in critical
timesThe VtoV Employee Relief Fund is a charity that
provides aid for Verizon employees displaced from their homes due
to natural disasters - such as fire, flood, hurricane, severe
weather - or domestic violence. Since its inception in 2013, VtoV
has provided over $4.8 Million in grants to more than 4,500 Verizon
employees around the world. The grants are used toward food,
clothing, shelter and other necessities during life-changing
disasters. In addition to the generosity our employees show in
support of their fellow V Teamers, Verizon Foundation offers a
generous matching gift program with 100% of every donation going
directly to help a V Teamer in need, because Verizon pays all
administrative fees.
