Verizon might have an exclusive bundle for its in-home 5G service arriving in two U.S. cities later this year. There are ongoing negotiations with Apple and Google to pitch in for video streaming, according to Bloomberg. A partnership would be utilized until Verizon figures out how to approach the competitive space. Most likely, Verizon will introduce a Sling TV-like product that...
Don’t bother Verizon with your old, decrepit phone from 2010. The nation’s largest carrier won’t activate 3G devices anymore. You’ll need a phone or tablet with 4G LTE connectivity for Verizon to grant access. While the carrier hasn’t made an announcement about this, it did give us fair warning. Everyone knew this day would eventually be here as recently as last fall, as noted by Droid...
Go90 will no longer be available on July 31. Verizon couldn’t figure out how to make a video streaming service for millennials, so it’ll shut down Go90 this summer. The service, which launched in 2015, was made specifically for young people as content on mobile devices became more popular. But the idea never caught on with the very group it was targeting. Here’s what a Verizon...
Verizon will let you use Xperia XZ2 Compact on its network after avoiding the brand’s mobile devices for a few years. The nation’s largest carrier announced that Sony’s small-sized flagship has been certified.

Just yesterday we reported Verizon and Best Buy were offering a massive $450 discount on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, yet it seems the two decided to go one step further.

Here’s how the deal breaks down: Verizon sells the Pixel 2 XL with 64GB of storage outright...
Giving your child a phone is a decision that requires plenty of thinking. On one hand, they need something to communicate with you while apart. But then there’s the part where your child might stumble across content on the internet that’s not suitable for them. Parents also have the right to limit usage because, as we all know, our phones disconnect us from the real world. Verizon...
When two of the nation's largest carriers go live with their next-gen networks later this year, phones and tablets won't be available. It looks like Verizon and AT&T are preparing mobile hotspots for 5G instead. Verizon confirmed its decision to Bloomberg. At MWC 2018 in Barcelona, Verizon's Ronan Dunne said phones and tablets should arrive beginning in the first half of 2019. In...
Verizon just announced what it's calling "some enhancements" for its prepaid business. Along with two special benefits for existing customers, there's an entirely new plan that anyone seeking to save money while on the nation's largest network should take a look at. The plan being added to the lineup provides a little bit of high-speed data but with much-needed unlimited talk and text...
Motorola doesn't want to lose its grip on the entry-level and mid-range segments. In 2018, the Moto G series seems like it'll be getting a significant upgrade. But the company still cares about those very cheap phones for consumers who don't need all the fanciest features. That's why the Moto E series, too, will see new models released this year. Mobile industry insider Evan Blass...
Verizon and the NFL have reached an agreement to continue streaming live games on mobile devices. The multi-year deal, which builds upon their partnership started in 2010, extends where Verizon can distribute games but they’re no longer exclusive.
