Thursday April 1, 2004
Verizon Wireless, the nation's leading wireless provider, and Overstock.com, an online discount retailer, unveiled Overstock.com Daily Deals(SM) for Verizon Wireless "Get It Now" customers.

Developed by mRocket, Overstock.com Daily Deals delivers exclusive bargains on brand-name merchandise directly to Verizon Wireless customers' phones.

Each day, Overstock.com selects superb deals from its vast inventory, further reduces their prices, and makes them available to subscribers via their Verizon Wireless Get It Now-enabled wireless phones. Every Daily Deal category includes a product picture and description, enabling subscribers to view and learn about the product before they make their purchase, and a simple method of purchasing the product. Today, Overstock.com Daily Deals enables users to complete their purchase with an Overstock representative -- beginning later this year, the application will allow customers to complete the purchase on their Verizon Wireless Get It Now-enabled phones and receive shipments right to their doors. Daily Deal product categories include exclusive offers in Apparel & More, Entertainment, Electronics, Home & Garden, Jewelry & More, Sports & Toys and Handmade Goods.
