If you are looking for a great gift for dad this Father's Day, check out the Verizon Hub. It's a new touch screen home phone system designed to replace your old-style home phone with a state of the art home communications system. It brings together your hard wireline and your wireless lines in one simple service, and runs on any broadband connection. So if you are using Verizon FiOS Internet or DSL or any other high-speed service provider the system will run properly.
Family Friendly
Families like mine that are full of activities can stay connected with this cool tool that helps manage your communications, contacts and calendars easily with one screen. The Verizon Hub helps people stay in touch and up to date with all of the information they need to navigate their busy days.
By putting the Verizon Hub on your kitchen counter you can change the way you think about what you want and need your home phone to do. I personally am just not ready to get rid of my home phone, but being able to integrate it with my wireless service is a great convenience.
Out of the Box
Right out of the box, the Verizon Hub has all the calling features you would expect from any advanced home phone system. In addition, it has special features like visual voicemail and contact list management. Verizon Wireless has also included some very handy messaging options, including text message calendar alerts and audible turn-by-turn directions that can be delivered to your Verizon Wireless phone from the Verizon Hub. Just a few simple taps on the screen and your devices are communicating.
Information that required going to multiple devices before is now at your family’s fingertips from this easy-to-navigate touch screen that has nice clear icons.
You an check local traffic and weather before leaving the house in the morning, update your calendar and automatically receive a text message when an appointment changes, find the number of a new restaurant around the corner and even place a take out order, preview the trailer from a movie the kids want to see, and then purchase the tickets all using the Verizon Hub.
Verizon Wireless customers who use the Verizon Hub can also connect to VZ Navigator and Chaperone, as well as incorporate their wireless devices through text, picture and video messaging. V CAST content is also available on the Verizon Hub, and if that is not enough for you, when it's not in use, the Verizon Hub doubles as a digital picture frame displaying all of your favorite photos.
If you are thinking of buying dad a new home phone system, a digital picture frame, or just can't think of a great Father's Day gift, check out the Verizon Hub. There is a great demo here that shows you the features in action.
