That brand new book scent. New school supplies. Fresh new outfits. Shiny new tech.

These are all things we think about when it comes to back to school. And Verizon has the shiny new tech that students and parents are looking for this season. From smartphones to help keep parents organized to waterproof speakers for the dorm, Verizon has it.

It all starts with a new phone on the best network. For a limited time starting July 27, get the Google Pixel for $5 per month on device payment when you trade in an eligible phone.*

Looking for an LG G6 or Samsung Galaxy S8? Also starting on July 27, for a limited time get up to $300 back with select trade in when switching to Verizon or adding a line on device payment**. Verizon has the right tech for everyone heading back to school.

For the parents with younger scholars

  • LG G6 – Parents juggle so much at once, thankfully the LG G6 offers split screen multi-tasking for even the busiest ones. And its waterproof design lets it survive those accidental spills by their kids.
  • GizmoGadget – a wearable for kids with peace of mind for parents. Allows you to call up to 10 contacts and receive calls from them, and locate it on a map from your phone. It’s even waterproof.

For the college student

  • Google Pixel – Google Assistant can be a great resource for college students, answering the important questions: “how do I prepare for an internship interview?”, “how do I wash laundry?”, “what’s the best pizza place nearby?”.
