Wireless Age Retail Unit Signs Agreement to Become a SaskTel Full Service Dealer26 July 2006
Wireless Age Communications, Inc. (OTCBB:WLSA), a leading supplier of solutions to the Canadian wireless industry, today announced that its retail business unit, Wireless Age Communications Ltd., signed agreements with its Telco partner, SaskTel, to expand its service offering in its Saskatchewan-based locations to include High Speed Internet service, Max(tm) Entertainment Services, Dial-up Internet, Wireless Internet and HomeNet Services. Wireless Age operates five successful retail locations in the province currently retailing the cellular products and services of SaskTel.
Allen Cowie, Wireless Age President, stated, "Wireless Age services a large customer base on behalf of our valued partner, SaskTel. We are thrilled to now have the opportunity to increase our level of service to all those customers and more by offering complete bundled solutions at a great value to our clients now in the home in addition to their existing mobile communication needs. This is a very natural fit for our locations that all operate as destination-style locations, with highly trained staff as opposed to many the typical retail style kiosks."
Diana Milenkovic, SaskTel Senior Vice-President Marketing and Mobility, stated, "A key strategy for SaskTel is to be the customers' choice for all their communication, information and entertainment solutions. Enabling dealer channels to sell and facilitate the services will be an important element of this strategy. We are pleased that The Wireless Age, one of our dealer partners in cellular and wireless data, will be working with us to execute this strategy."
The company is currently working on staff training and preparing its locations to facilitate the expansion of the services and expects to be ready to launch the full services in all its locations in mid-August.
