NEW YORK, May 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- If you want a
closer connection with friends, family and TV programming around
the world, it's time to connect with Verizon FiOS. Consumers who
sign up online for FiOS TV as part of a triple-play package can add
their favorite international TV programming, plus 300 minutes of
international calling per month from their home to landline and
wireless phones in more than 100 countries worldwide at no
additional cost.

of us staying connected to that culture is as important as keeping
in touch with friends and family," said Arturo Picicci, director of consumer marketing
for Verizon. "These new options offer more choice and flexibility,
while meeting the needs of our customers with free international
calling and International TV programming."
If you sign up for a two-year term agreement for a new FiOS

and other bundles) and phone service* -- you will have the choice
of a $300 Visa gift card; or 24
months of the Spanish Language TV Package; or both the World Plan
