What Is Verizon Hum?
The Hum Service
The Hum Service may include features like vehicle navigation, diagnostic information, access to a Mechanics Hotline, tips for safer driving, roadside and emergency assistance, and a wi-fi hotspot. There are two different models of the Hum System.
The hum system: the aftermarket connected car add-on
The aftermarket connected car add-on from the company is about to get a little less friendly to the younger drivers in the household. The module that plugs into a car's OBD port is included with the monthly fee. The connected car system is called hum.
The Hum X and Verizon Mobile Applications
The Hum X package includes a device that can be used to check your car's diagnostics and a speaker that can be clipped to your visor. The hum speaker has a touch display that allows you to call the customer service hotlines. The setup is easy, as the OBD-II can be plugged into most 1996 or newer vehicles and will connect to the Hum X application your phone.
The heart of the service is the mobile application for the phone. The application is free and many of the features are available without paying for the device. The application handles 100 percent of the tracking for the driver safety score, and offers navigation, keeps track of your trips, and handles 100 percent of the navigation.
Using the phone number without an operator
Can you use hum without the phone company? You don't need account with the company to use the freeHum App. The Hum App can be downloaded from either the App Store or the Play Store.
Unlocking the car with a company
Can the company hum unlock the car? The new service from the company provides OnStar like features to your car, like emergency dispatch, roadside assistance, and health diagnostics. If you lock your keys in the car, you can't remotely open your vehicle.
The visor accessory
The visor accessory is a way to connect you to mechanics who can help you in case of an accident. You can use the accessory to make calls without using your phone. The visor accessory can be charged via the microusb port on the rear of the device, if it runs low.
A Hotline for Cars
A hotline can connect you to a mechanic if your car has a problem. When the meter is set to expire, Hum can remind you of where you parked your car, as well as offer discounts on auto parts and service. The unit can be used to make calls.
The app provides a lot of information about your car's mechanical condition and other data, and is easy to use. The main screen has tabs that allow you to set maintenance reminders, call for roadside assistance, check available discounts, and write a note about the spot when you park. A submenu lets you set notifications for everything from vehicle recalls to a low battery, as well as tabs for stolen vehicle assistance, a quick start guide, support, and more.
