• Purchasing and activating a new eligible device on a new/existing line

       Or

Rest easy with these 4 Verizon apps.

The My Verizon app tracks important account details such as data usage, bill review, on-demand support and plan changes. And there’s another key benefit to the My Verizon app: suspend service.

Suspend service is useful if your device is missing or stolen. It allows you to temporarily suspend your account and prevent unauthorized usage and charges by blocking network access and activation on any Verizon Wireless account. Should you find your phone, reconnecting service is easy.

Suspend service can also be used if you go on military leave, make long-term travel plans or have an illness and don’t need your phone for some time.

The Digital Secure app offers antivirus, anti-malware, anti-spyware and identity theft protection services. It scans incoming data and gives you a full-screen warning if a virus is detected, allowing you to delete or uninstall a file or app. Digital Secure also reviews apps and rates them based on your data exposure so you can choose to continue using it or remove it.  

Additionally, Digital Secure warns you about scams and malicious activity on websites and monitors privacy/reputation risks on social media. Alerts notify you about connections to unprotected networks or compromised Wi-Fi networks that can potentially be hack risks. The service also provides a virtual private network (VPN) for more secure Wi-Fi connections.

Finally, Digital Secure helps guard personal information (such as credit card details) from being sold or traded online by providing cyber monitoring and step-by-step guidance to identity theft recovery.

The Call Filter app screens incoming calls, blocks spam and more. If there’s an unknown incoming number, it gives it a name and a spam risk meter rating. Plus, Call Filter tells you if a caller is a robocall or potential fraud. You can send those spam numbers right to voicemail or block them altogether (including international numbers). If a call slips through, it’s easy to report the number or other unwanted numbers and have them added to your spam list.  

The Tech Coach app supplies personalized expert technical support with just one click or phone call. You can get live, US-based expert support for your device and virtually anything it connects to.⁶
