Alltel Wireless and LG Mobile Phones introduce the LG AX8600

“LG continually strives to develop sophisticated wireless phone designs that not only play to consumer’s sense of style, but also include the hottest mobile features available on the market today,” said Jon Maron, Senior Director of Marketing, LG Electronics MobileComm U.S.A, Inc. “The LG AX8600 takes the popularity of the clamshell form factor and combines it with an eye-popping design and incredible features for a phone that is sure to become a hit among cell phone users across the nation.”

The phone is equipped with Alltel’s exclusive Celltop technology, which is free-of-charge and features 11 pre-installed and downloadable “cells.” Each cell is a category-specific half screen comprised of graphics and text that provides shortcuts for wireless users to navigate through information and applications including: call log, weather, news, baseball, basketball, football, rodeo, stocks, text messaging inbox and ringtones.

The LG AX8600 is available from Alltel Wireless for $99.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate. This discounted price is for new customers on two-year service agreements as well as existing eligible customers on qualifying rate plans. Customers that purchase the LG AX8600 and are on a qualifying calling plan, are able to join “My Circle,” Alltel’s exclusive feature that allows customers to choose who they call for free – any 10 numbers, any network. Alltel Wireless also offers Anytime Plan Changes, allowing customers with the flexibility to change their calling plans at any time, without the need to extend their current contract.
