New Paramount PR Client PlatinumTel Prepaid Wireless Announces $50 Unlimited Plan

The Citizen’s Utility Board (CUB) just released a cell phone report showing that 73% of cell phone users could save $300 or more a year (www.CitizensUtilityBoard.org). CUB suggested prepaid plans as an alternative to overpaying for wireless.  PlatinumTel today announced a unique new $50 unlimited wireless plan, available immediately, designed for consumers who don’t want to overpay for wireless or be bound by multi-year contracts. PlatinumTel, a nationwide pay-as-you-go provider that operates on an all-digital 3G Network that reaches 280 million people, offers simple yet competitive prepaid products with the goal of making wireless available for everyone. The new PlatinumTel Unlimited Plan offers unlimited nationwide talk, text, free long-distance and 100 megabytes of 3G web service.

 Big name wireless carriers such as Verizon and T-Mobile provide unlimited talk plans that in most cases cost double of what PlatinumTel offers. Those same plans many times contain additional fees and do not include web service. Other prepaid service providers like Cricket offer unlimited talk and text for $39 – $45 but don’t include nationwide roaming. PlatinumTel customers are provided load options which allow them to ‘top-up’ their unlimited accounts by adding $10 at a time.

PRE-PAID CELL PHONE MONTHLY PRICE COMPARISON

According to Omar Abhari, SVP of operations from PlatinumTel, “Having access to a full-featured, pay-as-you-go wireless plan is critical to millions of people who don’t want or can’t afford annual wireless contracts that ask users to pay month-to-month. Thus, prepaid has become one of the fastest-growing segments of the wireless market, where most people who want a cell phone now have one. Our new Unlimited Plan provides even greater flexibility for our customers at a price that can’t be beat.”

PlatinumTel offers subscribers the following:

• FLEXIBILITY – A dedication to delivering wireless services and choices designed for each subscriber’s specific needs.
• COST-EFFECTIVE – Prepaid cell phones and plans that are competitive, reasonable and accessible, particularly for customers looking to reduce expenses during the economic downturn or who may not have had access to wireless service in the past.
• PAY IN INCREMENTS – Unlike other prepaid carriers offering unlimited services, PlatinumTel also offers Dot10, a simple, no frills, pay-as-you-go plan that allows users to buy time/minutes only as needed. It’s ideal for those who do not want ongoing cell service or to budget a certain amount a month for cell service. Such users have the option of purchasing 1500 minutes for the whole year for $100 or paying a minimum of $10 for two months of service.
• NO CONTRACTS – Products and services that are easy to understand and never require subscribers to enter into a multi-year service contract or ask them to pay more than what they need or can afford.
• CONTROL – The tools to control their accounts in a simple and convenient way, ensuring they are always in charge.
• NO DEPOSITS OR CREDIT CHECKS – Simplified billing with no deposits, termination fees, credit checks, monthly bills or hidden fees.
