The story of Verizon Wireless began in April 2000. In the 15 years since, mobile technology has advanced at a spectacular pace and to a wondrous place. Close your eyes and try to remember. We were excited to merely make mobile voice calls, then in awe to send a text-only black and white message that took multiple button clicks for a single letter. It was a beautiful but blurry dream when we could snap tiny grainy photos from a clamshell phone.

Today, we live in a wireless world gleaming with astounding devices, capabilities and even more magical possibilities. Streaming HD video, connected cars and more. And what helped us to skip so swiftly along this path? A great and powerful network. The strength, reliability and rapid evolution of the Verizon network helped bring to life all these wonderful wireless things.
