In an effort to rekindle some love for the old-school kitchen telephone, Verizon Wireless is getting set to roll out a brand-new touchscreen VoIP phone that offers visual voicemail, calendaring, text alerts, local traffic, weather reports and the ability to send turn-by-turn directions to Verizon Wireless phones. The new phone is called the “Verizon Hub.” “The Verizon Hub reinvents the home phone system that’s been centered on your kitchen counter for years,” noted Mike Lanman, vice president and chief marketing officer at Verizon Wireless.
