Introducing the Verizon Family Plus perk: A smarter, safer way to keep families connected

Breaking news

On the heels of “Verizon Unplugged with Mel Robbins” — a special event where families learned practical tips for building healthier relationships with their phones — and as Verizon stores nationwide transform into back-to-school hubs, Verizon is unveiling yet another way to support parents: the Verizon Family Plus perk with the new Family Line.

This new monthly add-on combines a powerful suite of digital wellness and safety tools with Family Line, a brand new mobile feature that reimagines the traditional home phone for today’s connected families. Verizon Family Plus is designed to help parents manage technology use, give kids a safer way to connect, and keep households in sync — all from one simple, affordable perk.

"Technology is a powerful force for connection, but we know families are seeking a better balance," said Sowmyanarayan Sampath, CEO, Verizon Consumer. "The Verizon Family Plus Perk and the Family Line feature are a direct answer to that need. We're empowering parents with an intuitive new tool to set boundaries and give their families a secure, dedicated number for communication, fostering a healthier digital relationship from the start."

Why families will love Verizon Family Plus

For just $10/month (30% off the standalone price), Verizon Family Plus subscribers get an all-in-one service to protect and connect the people they love most.

• Unlimited location check-ins – Even when GPS fails, Verizon’s reliable network delivers peace of mind.
• Content filters & screen time controls – Create healthier, safer online experiences for kids.
• Driving Insights for teens – Help new drivers build safe habits on the road.
• Aging with independence – Caregivers can safely monitor activity and spot potential fraud, giving older family members more confidence and security.
• Roadside Assistance – Twice the events and miles of the nearest competitor.
• 24/7 Assist – Professional help anytime, with instant family alerts to invited family members.
• Family Line – One shared family number for up to five smartphone devices on the same Verizon account.

Meet Family Line: the modern landline

As part of Verizon Family Plus, we are also launching the brand new Verizon Family Line. Think of it as your home phone reimagined. Here’s how it works.

• One number, up to five smartphones – Every invited Verizon Family Plus member can call, answer, or join the same conversation.
• Emergency ready – Give schools, babysitters, or caregivers one easy-to-remember number to reach up to five people at once.
• Everyday coordination – From soccer practice pickups to family check-ins, helping everyone stay on the same page.
