Forget old school home phones. Forget landlines altogether. Verizon is setting out to change the face of the house phone. On Feb. 1, the company is releasing Verizon Hub, a touch screen home phone system. Verizon Hub will run on broadband connections, bringing together wired and wireless communications.
“The Verizon Hub reinvents the home phone system that’s been centered on your kitchen counter for years. We’re bringing huge new functionality to a common household device that will unlock its true potential. And in the process, Verizon Wireless is updating the tools busy families can use to manage their lives,” said Mike Lanman, vice president and chief marketing officer at Verizon Wireless. “The Verizon Hub is going to change the way you think about what you want and need your home phone to do. Whether you’re thinking about getting rid of your home phone or can’t live without it, now is the time to try out the Verizon Hub.”
Centered around the kitchen counter? Uh, not mine, but okay. None the less, the Verizon Hub works with “virtually any broadband provider” according to Verizon.
According to the company:
Out of the box, the Verizon Hub will have all the calling features users expect from the most advanced home phones, plus visual voicemail and robust contact list management. Verizon Wireless has also added exciting messaging options, including text message calendar alerts and audible turn-by-turn directions delivered to Verizon Wireless phones from the Verizon Hub — with just a few simple taps on the screen.
Information will be at a family’s fingertips, literally from an easy-to-navigate touch screen with clear icons on the Verizon Hub.
