Verizon Offers Short-Term Suspension Discount for Military

During this period, the line will be charged a reduced rate of $10 per month or their monthly service price, whichever is lower.

Q2: Who is eligible for the Short-Term Military Suspension?

A2: Military customers who are deployed for less than 90 days, including those still within Verizon's coverage area, are eligible. This includes temporary duty assignments, stateside deployments, pre-mobilization, and boot camp. Eligibility typically extends to active duty service members, reservists, and their families.

Q3: How much does the Short-Term Military Suspension cost?

Q4: How does the new Short-Term plan differ from the Long-Term Military Suspension?

A4: The Short-Term Suspension is for deployments or assignments less than 90 days, with a $10/month charge. The Long-Term Suspension is for deployments from 90 days up to 3 years, and typically incurs no charges for services and features on the suspended line, including device payment installments.
