Spring Communications and Cingular Wireless Announce Major Retail Expansion Agreement in Colorado and Utah
Spring Communications becomes first Cingular premier exclusive agent in the
region
DENVER and SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Spring Communications,
a leading wireless retailer and Cingular Wireless, the nation's largest
wireless carrier with over 49 million customers have reached an agreement that
will more than double the number of Spring Communications retail locations
selling Cingular Wireless products and services in Utah and Colorado. As a
premier exclusive agent Spring Communications will brand these stores as
Cingular and sell Cingular products and services exclusively.
"The advantages of bringing together the #1 wireless carrier in the nation
with the premier wireless distributor in the Intermountain Region are
tremendous," says Jason Ellis, president of Spring Communications. "Our
sales staff will provide customers the same superior customer service and
wireless solutions with a focus on Cingular's attractive offers such as
Rollover(SM) Minutes, the largest mobile-to-mobile calling community in the
nation, and the largest voice and data network in America."
Spring Communications currently operates 45 retail locations throughout
Utah and Colorado. On March 1, Spring will unveil a new look sporting the
Cingular brand. Over the next two years, Spring Communications could open as
many as 50 additional retail locations as a Cingular authorized exclusive
agent. To complete an expansion of this size Spring may hire up to 200 new
employees in the two states and lease additional retail space.
"For the past two years Spring Communications has been an excellent non-
exclusive retail dealer for AT&T Wireless and now that the AT&T Wireless-
Cingular Wireless merger is complete, Spring will be a valued, exclusive
partner for the new Cingular Wireless," said Sue Knox, Cingular's vice
president and general manager for the Rocky Mountain Region. "We're delighted
that Spring has agreed to focus on selling Cingular exclusively as we expand
operations in the region."
Cingular joined forces with AT&T Wireless in October to create the
nation's largest wireless carrier. Cingular offers many advantages including
the largest digital voice and data network in the nation, Rollover(SM)
Minutes, the wireless plan that lets customers keep their unused monthly
minutes and with more than 49 million customers the largest mobile-to-mobile
calling community which means customers can save even more of their plan
minutes.
Spring Communications and its stores will remain independently owned and
operated, still providing customers with a premier wireless experience.
Moving forward as a Cingular authorized exclusive agent, Spring Communications
locations will be outfitted with a new Cingular look. While the storefronts
will change, customers will still receive the same great service that they
have come to expect from Spring Communications.
