ORANGEBURG, NY — Verizon Wireless, provider of the nation’s largest and most reliable 3G network, today announced it will provide “Free Calls to Mom” on Mother’s Day weekend. All weekend long, Verizon Wireless will provide free wireless calls at participating stores to anywhere around the globe, helping families connect with each other even when geography prevents them from being together.
“Mother’s Day is traditionally a time for families to get together and express their appreciation for Mom,” said Pat Devlin, regional president, Verizon Wireless. “Verizon Wireless is lending a hand to those families that don’t have the opportunity to share the day in person and giving them the ability to connect, no matter where in the world they may be. By providing access to our entire lineup of products and services, we hope families will at least be able to tell Mom ‘Happy Mother’s Day’ even if they aren’t able to see her.”
Customers can make free calls on Saturday, May 8th, and Sunday, May 9th at 10 Verizon Wireless Communications Stores throughout the New York metro region.
