Verizon Wireless Adds To Portfolio Of Consumer-Friendly Tools With Introduction Of Usage Controls

BASKING RIDGE, NJ — Verizon Wireless unveiled Usage Controls, the most recent addition to its portfolio of tools for customers to manage their own wireless experience. Usage Controls is an easy-to-use online service providing customers the ability to better manage and control how they use their wireless phones, as well as how their children or others on a “family share” or multiple-line account use their phones.

The new service expands and enhances features first introduced last year with Parental Controls, including content filters. Since 2006, Verizon Wireless has also provided customers with ratings for the content found on its V CAST service, and www.vtext.com offers a number of choices to manage or personalize text messaging options.

“We hear from our customers – especially the ones who are paying the bills – that they like to be aware of how their wireless service is being used. Usage Controls are a simple way to take control of all the mobile phones on your account,” said Mike Lanman, chief marketing officer of Verizon Wireless.

About Usage Controls
With Usage Controls, customers can stay on top of voice and data usage levels, helping avoid any unexpected charges or overages. Usage Controls will also help parents comfortably and confidently provide wireless service for their children, by managing what content they are viewing or understanding if they are accruing additional costs.

Usage Controls are accessed through the My Verizon Web site and customers can change or update their settings under the My Services tab. With the service, customers can:

Set thresholds for voice minutes;
Set specific limits for text, picture, instant and video messaging as part of pay-as-you-go or message bundle plans;
Set time of day restrictions for data use and messaging;
Create lists of “trusted” and “blocked” numbers (calls to 911 will always be allowed to connect); and
Employ content filters.
Usage Controls are available for a $4.99 monthly subscription for each line. Customers must have a Nationwide Calling Plan – either Family Share or single line – to take advantage of Usage Controls.

Chaperone 2.0
Parents can also add Chaperone® 2.0 to their accounts for $9.99 per line per month. Chaperone 2.0, together with Usage Controls, offers a full family security solution that provides assurance as to where children are and what services they are using.

Users could place a drop of blood on a strip that in turn would be placed in a special reader on the phone to get the insulin and blood readings on the phoneâ€™s display. Now, the LG phone for the diabetics will get a wider and better diabetic control usage courtesy the glucophone developed by the Infopia of USA. The LG phone will work alongside Infobiaâ€™s Eocene diabetic management system that will ease the task of blood glucose management.
