| Verizon Wireless has discontinued the Home Hub Phone with Touch Screen after only 8 months on the market. The "Hub" is an Internet-connected home phone featuring an iPhone-like touch screen. Verizon Wireless stopped selling the phone this week, however, will continue to support ones already purchased. The Hub had cost $150 after a $50 rebate and required a two-year $35 monthly contract which included unlimited calling in the United States and Canada and unlimited texts to Verizon Wireless phones. The Hub was sold only to Verizon Wireless cell phones customers and provided services closely tied to those phones. (i.e., track the location of family members' phones) |  |
Verizon Wireless launched the Hub last February 1 to compete in the home phone market, even outside the areas where parent company Verizon Communications Inc. is the local phone company.
