Frontier Communications Joins Movearoo Program

Frontier Communications announced recently that it has added its portfolio of telephone, television and Internet products and services to the Movearoo program. Movearoo.com, a cost-free, online marketplace to shop for, order and save money on home communications, entertainment and utilities, is making moving even easier with new enhanced capabilities and greater choice for video, broadband and home or home office phone services.

Frontier Communications is one of the latest leading communications companies to join the Moveroo program established by founding members AT&T, Qwest and Verizon. The other new members include EMBARQ, Hawaiian Telcom, TDS Telecom and Windstream Communications, whose services are now also featured on Movearoo. Recent site enhancements to Movearoo.com provide detailed community information, including school and crime ratings, demographics, and local amenities such as nearby restaurants, theaters and businesses.

“At Frontier, we want to provide customers with a total Peace of Mind experience, and our participation with Movearoo is another way to do exactly that when they move. Whether a customer has been with us for ten years, is just moving into our area, or is simply moving down the street, we want to help take anxiety out of the relocation process. Movearoo.com allows us to share Frontier’s products and services easily with current and potential customers, and movers can find all the information they need at one, user-friendly website,” said Kent Klima, General Manager, Frontier Communications.

Movearoo.com allows consumers to plan their move step-by-step. In addition to comparison shopping for essential residential and home office services such as phone, high-speed Internet and TV, consumers can:

- Set up gas and electric service;
- Change a mailing address without a trip to the post office;
- Request mover quotes and order moving supplies;
- Find tips and manage the move proves using an interactive checklist;
- Subscribe to newspaper delivery; and
- Research and rent home appliances, furniture and more.

“Movearoo is a convenient and time-saving resource for the nearly 40 million Americans who move every year,” said WhiteFence CEO, Eric Danziger. “By providing detailed community information and adding leading communications companies to the Movearoo.com site, we’re providing even more choice and convenience for people on the move.”

Movearoo.com, a comprehensive online resource to help prepare for and ease the stress of moving, is the centerpiece of the Movearoo program. By simply entering a new home address, Movearoo users can get convenient and cost-free help with everything related to moving.
