Take Your cell phone Number but Not Your cell phone

What Will Millions Do With Their Old cell phones After November 24th?


Ocala, FL, November 11, 2003 - On November 24th, millions of wireless subscribers will be able to leave their current wireless service provider and take their existing phone number to a competitor. On that day, federally mandated wireless local number portability takes effect in the top 100 markets in the US.

According to research from The Management Network Group Inc., 30 million subscribers will switch providers during the first 12 months. None will be able to use their current cell phone, leaving 30 million retired cell phones in the hands of consumers!

To help consumers, carriers, and retailers deal with this huge avalanche of used cell phones CellForCash.com has launched a campaign informing people that their retired cell phones may still be of value.

"Right now consumers are focused on keeping their most valuable resource, their phone number." said James Mosieur CEO of RMS Communications Group, Inc., the company that operates CellForCash.com. "Most don’t realize that they can’t use their old phone when they switch."

Thousands of people each month are currently selling their unwanted cell phones to RMS using the innovative website. "We anticipate a substantial increase in activity following the November 24th deadline", said Mosieur "since consumers don’t have many profitable and environmentally friendly options for disposing of their old cell phones."
