LOS ANGELES and BASKING RIDGE, NJ — Fandango, the nation’s leading moviegoer destination, and Verizon Wireless, the nation’s leading wireless service provider, announced today that Fandango ticketing, showtimes and other movie-related content will power the movie channel for the Verizon Hub. Available today from Verizon Wireless, the Verizon Hub is an easy-to-use system that puts a communications command center in the home. It bridges wireline and wireless connectivity and runs on any broadband connection – whether supplied by Verizon (FiOS Internet or DSL) or any other high-speed Internet service provider.
The Verizon Hub gives busy families information at their fingertips from an easy-to-navigate touch screen with on-demand access to an array of services and information.
“We are pleased to be working with Verizon Wireless,” says Ted Hong, vice president of marketing for Fandango. “Fandango content on the Verizon Hub helps further our goal of ubiquity on all platforms and providing consumers with the most relevant and convenient information to help them escape to the movies.”
Pricing and Availability
Customers need a wireless line of service with Verizon Wireless in order to purchase the communications command center since all billing for the Verizon Hub will be consolidated onto customers’ Verizon Wireless bills. In addition, customers need a Verizon Digital Voice plan for the Verizon Hub, which is $34.99 a month and offers unlimited calling in the U.S., Canada, and U.S. Territories, including Puerto Rico, as well as unlimited messaging to and from Verizon Wireless phones.
The Verizon Hub is available in Verizon Wireless Communications Stores across the country for $199.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate with a two-year agreement; additional cordless handsets, which can be placed throughout the home, are available for $79.99 each. For customers who do not own a wireless router, Verizon Wireless also offers a router to work with the Verizon Hub for $69.99.
