Gear Up for Winter Sports with Tips From Verizon Wireless

Suggestions for Staying Connected During the Next Trek to Snow Country

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., Jan. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- With temperatures dropping
and the snow piling up, skiers and snowboarders are making their way to the
mountains. When they do, Verizon Wireless, owner and operator of the
nation's most reliable wireless network, urges winter sports enthusiasts to
remember they can count on their wireless service if they keep some
wireless winter wisdom in mind:
    * Charge your phone or PDA frequently.  Cold temperatures can run down the
      phone's battery charge more quickly.

    * Handle your handset with care.  The display cover can become brittle
      when exposed to cold temperatures for long periods of time.

    * Keep your phone in a warm place; avoid leaving it in an outside pocket
      of your parka or backpack, or in the car overnight.  Prolonged exposure
      to the cold may affect the phone's display screen.  When on the
      mountain, carry it in an inside jacket pocket, keeping it close to your
      body for warmth.

    * Check your phone's signal strength in a non-emergency situation to know
      where the signal is strong and where it's not.  Ski area and back bowl
      coverage may vary depending on topography and altitudes.

    * If you hold a yard sale, pick up your phone first to keep snow from
      melting into the keypad.
    "Our ongoing investment in Verizon Wireless' coast-to-coast digital
network makes it possible for winter vacationers to use their wireless
phones from the Western Rockies and Cascades to the Green and White
Mountains of New England," said Jack Plating, executive vice president and
COO for Verizon Wireless. "Skiers can maximize their time at their favorite
mountain by using their wireless phone to check in with families, get in
touch with friends in a neighboring condo, receive the latest snow report
or make reservations at a nearby restaurant whether they're in the lodge or
on a lift."
    Verizon Wireless is dedicated to delivering outstanding customer
satisfaction by providing a positive wireless experience to its 57 million
customers. The company has invested $35 billion in the last seven years --
$5 billion on average every year since the company was formed -- to
increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new
services.
