Leap launches in St. Louis

Leap Wireless International Inc. is set to turn on its Cricket service tomorrow in St. Louis, Mo. Leap said the service will be available at nine St. Louis area retail stores and at more than 80 authorized dealers. The value-driven wireless service offers a number of unlimited plans ranging from $30 to $60 per month.
Cricket has also recently added new features including both unlimited texting to Mexico and an unlimited wireless Internet service using a PC card for $40 per month. Doug Hutcheson, Leap’s president and CEO, said the St. Louis area launch marks the company’s fourth new market launch in two months. The carrier launched service in Las Vegas and parts of Texas last month.
