Verizon extends deadline for MSN services
Advertiser Staff
Verizon Communications has extended the deadline for Hawai'i digital subscriber line (DSL) customers to sign-up for six-months of free MSN Premium services to May 15. Those that do not sign up will lose the service on May 31, instead of May 15. Verizon was the previous owner of Hawaiian Telcom — the new name for Hawai'i's major phone company. Once the six-month free trial is over customers will face regular monthly charges of $9.95 a month for the firewall and anti-virus service.
