Verizon arrived on October 7, 1983, and since then it’s one of the, if not the largest wireless communications service provider in the United States. Believe it or not, but AT&T is the company that created Verizon, unintentionally of course.

Before Verizon got the name, we have all come to know it was part of Bell Atlantic (one of the seven bells that came after AT&T was forced to give up its control of Bell Systems and with time Verizon was born.

Once Verizon was up and running, it started offering many services to its millions and millions of customers, and one of the services is Email. It’s a service that automatically comes when you sign up with Verizon and that you can quickly set up by using your Verizon Email ID and Password.
