GREENVILLE, SC -- Bell Atlantic NYNEX Mobile customers
are
seeing greater benefits, thanks to a recent expansion by the
company into southwest North Carolina and northeast Georgia. By
incorporating 16 new counties into the SuperSystem, Bell Atlantic
NYNEX Mobile has extended home-rate calling to its customers
throughout over 33,000 square miles in North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia.
The Bell Atlantic NYNEX Mobile SuperSystem now includes
Henderson, Cleveland, Lincoln, McDowell, Rutherford and Polk
Counties in North Carolina. The SuperSystem also now encompasses
Lumpkin, Dawson, White, Habersham, Hall, Banks, Stephens,
Franklin, Rabun and Barrow Counties in Georgia.
With benefit of the SuperSystem, Bell Atlantic NYNEX Mobile
customers traveling into markets such as Charlotte, Hickory,
Rockingham, Waynesville and Hendersonville, North Carolina;
Columbia, Greenwood and Upstate South Carolina; and, Toccoa and
Gainesville, Georgia will be charged for local airtime just as if
they were calling in their own home town.
"We're excited that the Bell Atlantic NYNEX Mobile
SuperSystem continues to grow, giving our customers more areas
where they can use wireless communications for their low home
airtime rate," Jim Akerhielm, vice president-southeast region,
said. "That means over 33,000 square miles of home rate calling
-- it's just part of Bell Atlantic NYNEX Mobile's continuing
commitment to provide the best cost and coverage of any wireless
provider in the Southeast."
With Communications Stores in Shelby, Hendersonville,
Marion, Rutherfordton, and Lincolnton in North Carolina and in
Toccoa and Gainesville in Georgia, Bell Atlantia NYNEX Mobile has
25 locations to serve customer needs. They feature a variety of
wireless communications products, including cellular phones, fax
