BEDMINSTER, NJ — It's time to spring forward! - Daylight Savings Time begins at 2:00 AM on Sunday, April 4. To stay on time this weekend, just take a look at any Verizon Wireless phone. The nation's leading wireless provider reminds customers that in addition to superior call quality, its expansive network automatically updates each customer's phone with the local time.
Customers unsure whether to set the clocks forward or backward can depend on the reliability of their wireless network and follow the time listed on their wireless phone. And if customers are worried about oversleeping and being late for Sunday's plans, they can set the alarm clocks, which are available on most wireless phones, to make sure they are awake and arrive at their destination on time.
