Verizon Wireless was founded in 2000! ๐
It was created when two companies, Bell Atlantic and GTE, joined forces. The name "Verizon" comes from "veritas," which means truth in Latin, and "horizon," which means the line where the earth meets the sky. ๐
This name shows their goal to reach new heights in
communication. In 2004, Verizon also bought a company called MCI, making them even bigger! Over the years, they have won many awards for their amazing service.
