Feature-packed cellular service "Helio" Launches Today

Tuesday May 2, 2006
Helio, a new Mobile Virtual Network (a carrier that actually rents bandwith from real carriers), is now available to the public. Helio's speciality is to offer many advanced features for unlimited use for a fixed monthly price of $85. This includes data transfer, mobile web, picture and video messaging, MySpace access, etc. Plus unlimited nights & weekends and 1000 daytime minutes. Also notable is their 30-day money-back guarantee (most carriers offer only 15 days). At a $85 price tag and with multimedia phones starting at over $200, Helio really is for cellular-focused users, or for those who keep being overcharged each month for talking, texting and surfing more than what their included minutes allow.
