A Verizon regional outage is a churn-risk moment: customers panic, assume their phone is broken, and start comparing carriers. Dealers can win by staying calm and running an Outage Reality Check: confirm location/time, test basics (airplane mode reset, SIM/eSIM status, network settings), and document what’s happening. Then sell resilience: a Backup Connectivity Bundle (hotspot/5G router + power bank + car charger) and a “No-Surprises” plan review so customers feel supported i

The goal is trust, not headlines

The Motorola Razr 2026 lineup (Razr, Razr Plus, Razr Ultra) gives dealers a clean “good/better/best” foldable story—if you sell it the right way.

The goal is fewer returns and higher attach.
