Verizon iobi Home 90-day free trial and $100,000 sweepstakes
Verizon is offering its landline phone subscribers a free 90-day trial of its iobi Home service along with a chance to win up to $100,000 in its iobi Home Sweepstakes.
“Iobi is such a new concept, such a major leap forward, that the only way customers can fully appreciate all of the advantages the service has to offer is to try it for themselves,” said Margo Howell, product manager for iobi Home. “We’re confident that once they do, customers will not only be enthusiastic users of the service, they will become advocates as well and encourage other customers to use it.”
Verizon’s iobi Home service combines customers’ home telephone, wireless and Internet service in new ways. The iobi Home service offers instant on-screen mapping of an incoming caller’s address that pops up before the subscriber answers; the ability to direct calls, in real time, to any phone, including non-Verizon phones, or send them directly to voice mail; and it allows scheduling of call forwarding to other phones on a one-time or recurring basis.
Verizon iobi Home also has many of the advanced calling features that computer-based digital calling (voice over IP) offers, such as interactive call logs; contact and calendar management; selective forwarding or blocking of only certain calls; playing voice mails on the computer with no dialing or codes; and forwarding voice mail as e-mail.
The free offer and sweepstakes are available only through March 22, 2006. Subscribers who sign up for the trial by that time will receive iobi Home free for 90 days. Anyone who chooses to keep iobi Home beyond the 90-day time will pay $4.95 per month.
