Fixed Mobile Convergence

PrepaYd Wireless has issued an official response to Verizon’s (News - Alert) decision to charge convenience fee for paying wireless bills online, the company has announced.

Recently, Verizon had made announcement stating that mobile phone customers who make single bill payments online or by telephone will be charged a $2 “convenience fee” starting Jan. 15.

Through its parent company PrepaYd, Inc., PrepaYd Wireless is a pioneer in the prepaid debit card industry. The company prides itself on being an industry leader in competitive pricing and no hidden fees.

As banks like Bank of America tried raising their debit card fees, the company lowered its debit card fees this year. The company is a Wireless Service Provider that offers mobile services to an estimated 110 million consumer demographic, the company stated in a press release.

“PrepaYd Wireless is excited to respond with its ‘Y Pay More’ initiative. We encourage anyone spending more than $40 a month for cell phone service or fed up with service outages and rising fees to contact us to find out about our nationwide coverage and to get a free phone while supplies last,” stated Josh Berman, vice president of PrepaYd Wireless, Inc.

Offering a free mobile device while supplies last, the “Y Pay More” no contract plan includes Unlimited Talk, Text, and 3G Data for exactly $40 a month. Also, offering a free mobile device while supplies last, the company also offers an unlimited plan for non data users at only $35 a month for unlimited talk and text, the company has stated.

In other news, PrepaYd Wireless recently announced that it received its International Telecommunications Certificate from the Federal Communications Commission on June 30, 2011.
