LONGVIEW, TX — In celebration of joining two great companies, Verizon Wireless will host a weekend Customer Appreciation Celebration from Friday, Sept. 25 to Sunday, Sept. 27 at both retail locations in Longview.

Former Alltel customers in markets retained by Verizon Wireless now have access to the nation’s largest broadband network and a full suite of state of the art devices like the BlackBerry® Storm(TM) and Tour(TM) and LG enV® TOUCH.

Verizon Wireless has spent the past six months integrating networks, preparing to convert billing systems, and rebranding stores. At this weekend celebration, business and community leaders, individuals and families can meet the leadership team, learn more about Verizon Wireless’ commitment to the community and enjoy refreshments. Customer Appreciation Celebration events will be hosted at each retail location:

Verizon Wireless Longview
3080 North Eastman Rd.
Longview, Texas 75605
903-241-7699

Verizon Wireless Longview Loop
415 E Loop 281
Longview, Texas 75605
903-756-6370

Customers can also take advantage of several offers including:

  • Any Samsung phone $49.99 or less is FREE with new two-year activation (available Sept. 25-27)
  • Waived activation ($35 value)
  • 25 percent off all accessories
  • Register to win tickets to a professional Dallas football game

In addition, Verizon Wireless will launch its HopeLine® Recycling Program. HopeLine® collects no-longer-used wireless phones and accessories from any carrier. All phones donated to HopeLine that can be refurbished are sold for reuse and those that are not salvageable are recycled in an environmentally sound way under a zero landfill policy. Proceeds from HopeLine are used to provide wireless phones to survivors of domestic violence who are rebuilding their lives or cash grants to local shelters and non-profit organizations that focus on domestic violence prevention and awareness.

Since the program’s inception in 2001 Verizon Wireless has collected more than 6 million phones, awarded nearly $7 million in cash grants to domestic violence agencies and distributed more than 76,000 phones and 228 million minutes of free wireless service to be used by victims of domestic violence.

“We are excited about our expansion in East Texas,” said Frank Antonacci, region president for Verizon Wireless. “Verizon Wireless is committed to the communities where we live and work. We look forward to providing customers with the best products and services at a great value.”

Store hours for the new location in Longview are Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
