MIAMI, Sept. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- To all of our Florida customers, Verizon Wireless is saying, "We've got your back." Beginning at 12:01 a.m. Eastern on September 9 and running through midnight on September 11, Verizon is giving postpaid customers talk, text and data relief while prepaid customers receive an extra 3 GB for data.
