CHARLOTTE, N.C.-SunCom Wireless, formerly known as Triton PCS, launched new nationwide and international calling plans with no roaming charges anywhere in the United States, the U.S. Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico.
The SunCom America plans offer 600, 900 or 1,500 anytime minutes starting at $40 per month, including all taxes and fees. The plans include free text messaging.
The carrier also launched an international long-distance plan for $5 a month. Customers who sign one- or two-year contracts can save up to 70 percent on international calls with the plan, SunCom said. Calls to Mexico, as one example, are 15 cents per minute under the plan.
“We’re excited to be the only provider in the Carolinas that has regional roots with national and now even international reach,” said Emilio Echave, SunCom senior vice president of operations.
