Verizon Celebrates Six-Year Anniversary
April 4th, 2006
Verizon Wireless is celebrating the company’s six-year anniversary.
Verizon Wireless first opened its doors on April 4, 2000 when text messages numbered zero and customers still had “car phones.†Since that time, the company has grown both internally and externally, adding more than 25,000 employees, 28 million customers and 900 Communications Stores.
Verizon Wireless also has expanded its product line-up to meet the changing needs of wireless customers, offering text messaging, picture messaging, mobile internet access, downloadable music and other data services that capitalize on the company’s premier wireless network. Today, Verizon Wireless customers send and receive 3 billion text messages a month and use their wireless phones everywhere, including in the car and walking down the street.
