Staffed by knowledgeable wireless professionals who offer consumers a broad range of equipment and services, including a new line-up of devices that combine V CAST music capabilities with full QWERTY keyboards for the “thumb” generation; the new LG Decoy, the world’s first phone with a built-in, detachable Bluetooth(R) hands-free headset; and VZ Navigator (Verizon 4.0) which adds traffic and gas station information to audible turn-by-turn directions.
Demand for Verizon Wireless services continued during the first quarter of 2008 when the company added 1.5 million new customers, and continued its industry-leading customer loyalty rates. Verizon Wireless now serves more than 67.2 million customers nationwide.
Store Manager Steve Fortino encourages area residents to join the company in its efforts to help survivors of domestic violence by bringing no-longer-used wireless phones to the new store for donation to the company’s HopeLine(R) phone recycling program. HopeLine collects used cell phones to be recycled or sold and donates the proceeds in the form of cash grants and pre-paid wireless handsets to advocacy groups for use by battered women. Verizon Wireless was the first wireless carrier in the nation to collect and recycle old cell phones, and has done so on behalf of survivors of domestic violence since January 1999 — first in New Jersey and then across the US.
The South Plainfield Communications Store is one of more than 140 Verizon Wireless retail locations in the New York Metro area.
