Verizon Announces New Nationwide Small Business SharePlan

May 13, 2009 — There is a new voice plan in the Verizon Wireless Small Business toolbox. The Nationwide Small Business SharePlan(SM), available starting May 17, gives customers shared Anytime Minutes, unlimited Mobile to Mobile calls to over 80 million other Verizon Wireless customers, and consolidated billing. With the plan, which starts at $69.99 per month for two lines and 700 minutes, customers have the option of adding lines for as low as $9.99 per month. The Nationwide Small Business SharePlan also comes with access to the My Business online account management tool, Small Business Specialists and online technical support 24/7.

"The new Nationwide Small Business SharePlan will offer customers the best value in wireless for small businesses," said Michael Ross, director – small business marketing for Verizon Wireless. "Small business customers will have more control over their wireless dollars plus access to specialized features and servi ces to help support their business goals, all while benefiting from the reliability of the Verizon Wireless network."

Small business customers who select a Nationwide Small Business SharePlan with 1,400 monthly Anytime Minutes or more can reign in wireless spending with Friends & Family® for Business, which lets businesses create a calling group of up to 10 numbers the business calls most. Minutes used when placing or receiving calls from the numbers in the calling group do not count against a small business' plan minutes. Small business customers can include the landline or wireless numbers of colleagues, clients and vendors who have yet to switch to the nation's largest, most reliable network, and they can add or remove any of the numbers as often as needed.

As a customer's small business grows, the Nationwide Small Business SharePlan can adapt to meet changing wireless needs. Customers can add up to 50 lines and Verizon Wireless will automatically adjust the service to the next price plan should they exceed the usual allowance on their plan.

For more information on the Nationwide Small Business SharePlan, small business customers can connect with a Small Business Specialist by visiting any Verizon Wireless Communications Store or calling 1-800-VZW-4BIZ. Customers can also go online to the Verizon Wireless Business Connection (www.verizonwireless.com/smallbusiness) to access case studies, forums, blogs and information on wireless solutions for small businesses.
