How Do I Add Other People to My Verizon Account?

You are allowed to add other people to your Verizon account. These people can be family members, friends, or colleagues. If you are using the company account, they can be your secretary or personal assistant. Having an account manager is good because you may be away on a business trip, and the bills need to be paid. Only the authorized account manager can pay bills or access the account. Contact Verizon customer support for any clarifications.
