CHICAGO-Ameritech Cellular Services is introducing Ameritech PrePaid Cellular service.
Ameritech said its customers now have the ability to purchase cellular airtime on a pay-as-you-go basis with no long-term contracts, monthly bills, cancellation fees or credit restrictions.
The company said customers will be given a disposable prepaid card containing key information on the back. The information is inputted into Ameritech’s system by a service representative and saved. Customers can dial *PAY and can purchase additional airtime with their credit cards. Ameritech said the additional airtime is automatically credited to their account with a $30 minimum for additional airtime purchases.
The service will initially be available only in the Chicago metropolitan area.
