Beyond device deals, Verizon emphasizes digital wellness with tools like the Family Tech Agreement, a downloadable and printable contract for families to establish screen-time boundaries. The Verizon Family App provides parental controls for managing screen time, teen driving insights, and location check-ins. The new Gizmo Watch 4 includes features such as location tracking, school mode, and approved-contact-only communication. Free digital wellness resources are available on the Parenting in a Digital World site.
Verizon's offerings aim to simplify back-to-school preparations by combining value, connectivity, and safety tools.
