Verizon Wireless has announced its latest partnership with Apple to provide subscribers of its Unlimited plans with a free Apple Music subscription to help them make the most of their extensive data capabilities. Users will receive a six month subscription to the streaming service for free, which acknowledges the increasing shift amongst consumers towards music and video streaming. This enables users to enjoy their favorite content without having to pay outright for subscriptions in addition to their telecom bill.
Speaking on the new promotion, VP of Marketing at Verizon, Angie Klein, said, "This first-of-its-kind offer is just the first step in an exclusive partnership with Apple. It gives our customers exactly what they want: Apple’s best-in-class music streaming experience, paired with an unlimited plan tailored to them, on the network they deserve."
