Verizon today offered an update to its ongoing response to COVID-19. The carrier says it will automatically add an additional 15 GB of LTE data to consumer and small business accounts for May.
Verizon says the 15 GB of data will be automatically added to shared data plans on May 1 and that the data can be used until May 31. This is a continuation of the steps that Verizon announced last month to help those affected by COVID-19.
Even though people are not traveling as much due to the coronavirus pandemic, many work from home and go to school online. Verizon’s hope is to facilitate this transition for people who depend on cellular data for all of their Internet connectivity. The data can also be used for hotspot functionality.
Verizon continues to support customers who may need additional data to learn, work or stay connected during this difficult time. That’s why today we announced that we are automatically adding an additional 15 GB of 4G LTE data to shared data plans for consumers and small businesses, hotspots and jetpacks to use from May 1 to May 31. No action is necessary because this data will be automatically added to the accounts of individuals and small businesses.
Verizon also committed not to terminate service or to charge late fees during the COVID-19 pandemic. Overage fees are also waived for those who may be financially affected by the epidemic.
