payLo by Virgin Mobile and Kyocera Communications Inc. will have big talkers ‘talking the talk’ with the launch of the Kyocera S2100 on payLo by Virgin Mobile. Delivering performance with a purpose, the S2100 offers all the most popular features to take advantage of payLo’s no-contract plans and is available today at www.virginmobileusa.com for $39.99 (excluding taxes). The device will continue to roll out at Virgin Mobile retailers, including Best Buy, Target and RadioShack.
Tailored to meet the needs of the voice-centric customer who wants basic data features and does not necessarily need ‘unlimited service,’ the Kyocera S2100, coupled with payLo’s 1,500-minute plan ($30) is ideal for those who like to “talk the talk” to stay in touch with family and friends.
“payLo by Virgin Mobile, with its 1,500-minute plan, caters to a growing number of consumers who have been paying for unlimited voice, messaging or data when all they really need is affordable talk time, and a lot of it,” said Mark Lederman, director, payLo by Virgin Mobile. “At $30 per month, these customers can now save money while knowing they have the right service for their communication needs.
The benefits provided by payLo’s $30 offer, combined with the Kyocera S2100 handset, reaffirm our commitment to providing overall value to our customers.”
Voice-dialing makes reaching out stress-free, and the easy-to-use VGA camera with 5X digital zoom lets customers capture special moments. The S2100’s tactile keypad with visual separation allows faster, easier typing and quick text and picture messaging. The 1-inch external color LCD display showcases caller ID while Bluetooth® wireless technology (version 2.1 with Enhanced Data Rate) ensures easy hands-free use. Web and e-mail features allow users to easily access Yahoo!® Mail, Yahoo! Messenger, AOL Windows Live, and Gmail all in one place; and search all their favorite sites, including Google, Accuweather®, Yelp®, Craigslist® and US Weekly®.
In addition to 1,500 anytime domestic minutes, payLo’s $30 plan offers 500 domestic messages (text, picture messages, e-mail and/or IM) and 10MB Web access. For less-frequent talkers, payLo offers two additional great plans:
$20/400 domestic minutes/expires in one month
Basic Rate 20 cents per domestic minute/expires in 90 days
“payLo customers are looking for popular features in a solid, reliable handset at the lowest cost,” said Eric Anderson, vice president of sales at Kyocera Communications Inc. “The Kyocera S2100 delivers a familiar, well-liked form factor with just the right amount of extra features to make it useful and fun.”
