Participants must answer five poll questions. The winner
will get the new phone, and also qualify for CellForCash.com’s
annual $1,000 grand prize
Ocala,
Fla. (PRWEB) August 28, 2005 -- CellForCash.com
announced today it will award a Firefly cell phone or $100
in cash to the winner of its monthly website drawing. Firefly
cell phones are designed specifically for kids in the 8-to-12
age group.
To
enter the drawing, people must go to www.CellForCash.com
and then answer a series of survey questions. This month's
survey deals with whether young “tween-aged”
kids should have their own cell phones, and whether that
cell phone usage should be monitored and regulated.
“With
kids returning to school, we thought it would be a good
time to find out what people think about cell phone usage
by kids,” said James Mosieur, chief executive officer
of RMS
Communications Group Inc., the parent company of CellForCash.com.
This
month's survey includes the following five questions:
1.
Do you think 8-to-12-year-olds should carry their own cell
phones?
2. Should schools ban kids from bringing cell phones into
their classrooms?
3. Do you think cell phones provide kids with an additional
level of safety?
4. Should parents control who their kids talk to on their
cell phones?
5. Should parents be able to program their kids' cell phones?
People
who complete the survey
and enter their e-mail addresses qualify to win a Firefly
cell phone, a new phone product designed specifically for
8-to-12-year-olds. They may opt to take $100 in cash in
place of the phone if they wish. The winner also qualifies
to win CellForCash.com's
annual grand prize of $1,000.
Some
industry analysts believe that the 8-to-12-year-old market
segment offers the biggest growth potential of any age group
for new cell phone sales. But others think that kids in
that age group have no real need to carry their own wireless
phones.
“As
a company that buys and sells old cell phones, we're very
interested in finding out how people feel about this issue,”
Mosieur said.
Besides
www.CellForCash.com,
RMS operates a number of other web sites. One, www.WirelessFundraiser.com,
provides cash to non-profit organizations that collect and
send in old cell phones. Another, www.RecycleForUS.com,
is an environmental initiative that helps companies, government
agencies and other groups and individuals collect and recycle
old cell phones.
The
company also operates the 911
Cell Phone Bank program, through which it donates over
1,000 cell phones every month to law enforcement and other
agencies for use as 911 emergency phones.
