WAYNE, Pa.-Comcast Cellular Communications Inc. launched its Prepaid Advanced Cellular service in Philadelphia, central and southern New Jersey, Delaware and parts of Maryland.
The PAC plan allows customers to prepay for cellular service in $60 increments. A recording at the beginning of each call keeps subscribers informed of how much money remains in their account. Once the balance reaches zero, customers may replenish their airtime by calling a special number or visiting a Comcast Cellular retail store or authorized agent, the company said.
Dave Watson, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Comcast Cellular, said PAC serves an underserved market nationally. “There are many people whose credit is less than perfect or who have held off from buying cellular phones because they are too costly,” he said.
The PAC service requires no annual contracts, no credit checks, no monthly bills and no monthly access fees.
