Cellular
One is one of America’s most enduring and recognized brands in
wireless telephony. As a leader in the industry’s growth and
development since the beginning of wireless telephone service,
Cellular One phone has a reputation for quality, value and
trust among wireless customers nationwide. Cellular One phone
continues to rank as the leading brand for the independent
carrier, providing service for millions of customers across
the United States. Cellular One phone network is a national
coalition of more than 20 wireless service carriers. Carriers
of the Cellular One name follow strict guidelines through a
national licensing program, in an effort to create consistent
quality of service in all markets.
The digital services offered
by Cellular One phone are either CDMA (Code Division Multiple
Access) or TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access), and are a
must for anyone wanting to take advantage of newer features,
such as caller ID, voice mail, e-mail, or searching the
Internet.
Choosing a Cellular One Phone
Service Plan
Do a personal calling
inventory. Determine how many calls you're likely to make from
your Cellular one phone, the time of day you're likely to
place the calls and what days you're likely to make the calls.
Decide if you want your Cellular One phone to replace your
home land-line phone.
Cellular One provides a
variety of pricing plans designed to accommodate light,
regular or heavy volume customers. Choose a plan that best
fits your calling patterns. If you plan to use the Cellular
One phone occasionally, select an economy plan. If you make
frequent calls from your Cellular One phone, it may be more
economical to sign up for a plan that provides a certain
amount of free minutes of usage. Frequent users should sign up
for a service plan which provides a higher monthly fee,
several free hours and the lowest rate for air time.
Compare local coverage areas.
A roaming charge applies when you call from outside your home
area. Some homed areas span several states, so any Cellular
One phone call made within that large area is considered a
local call. Business travelers who make lots of long distance
calls should choose a plan with a national rate.
