WAYNESBORO, VA – In honor of the veteran community and active-duty military serving overseas, nTelos Wireless announced today that it has partnered with Cell Phones for Soldiers® for the holidays to support mobile phone collection efforts that benefit military personnel stationed around the world.
“We are passionate about contributing to causes that make a difference in the communities where we live and work and our communities are the home for thousands of military men and women who are away from their families serving our country,” said Conrad Hunter, Chief Operating Officer of nTelos Wireless. “We want to do our part to ensure our military personnel serving overseas have the opportunity to hear their loved ones’ voices during their deployment and the Cell Phones for Soldiers program is a perfect opportunity for us since customers can donate their used cell phones conveniently in our stores.”
nTelos , the best value in wireless providing high-speed, dependable nationwide coverage and the best network satisfaction guarantee in the industry, is encouraging customers and the general public to bring used, unwanted cell phones and cell phone accessories to any retail store.
