Verizon launches in-car connectivity services in select BMW models
Verizon Business has announced the launch of Connected Car by Verizon in-car connectivity service for select BMW models in the United States. The service includes connected car voice, data, Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity and additional features for $20 per month.
Verizon customers can also now get two personalised connectivity features that can be managed through the My BMW app:
- Multi-vehicle connect, which allows Verizon customers to access their personalised BMW driver preferences and data plan (settings, voice, Wi-Fi, etc.) in up to three compatible BMW models paired to their plan.
- Number share – Vehicle, enabled by BMW eSIM (embedded-SIM), which allows Verizon customers to pair — i.e., share the number of — their phone with their vehicle and then make and receive calls without the phone being in the car.
“Verizon is proud to expand its connected car offerings with BMW, one of the world’s most recognisable and respected premium vehicle brands,” says TJ Fox, senior vice president, industrial IoT and automotive, Verizon Business. “In-vehicle connected services are growing fast, and BMW drivers can now take advantage through Connected Car by Verizon, with the top-class network quality and reliability they’ve come to expect from Verizon.”
