Twin Valley Communications (Miltonvale, Kan.) was the first NTCA member company to launch mobile offerings through the NTCA-NRTC Mobile Virtual Network Collaboration.
The collaboration between NTCA and NRTC provides exclusive access to a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) solution, special financing for devices, an activation credit for new mobile subscribers and waived up-front business start-up fees.
Ben Foster, president and CEO of Twin Valley Communications, said the collaboration enables the company to provide straightforward and competitive retail rates for their customers that help them save money each month.
“On top of the mobile savings facilitated by our MVNO pricing, we've introduced a loyalty discount for customers who also subscribe to our broadband services,” he said.
One of Twin Valley’s customers, a retiree living on a fixed income, was thrilled to discover their affordable mobile service, Foster said. “For the first time, he could afford a reliable cell phone with a data plan that made sense for his needs and budget.”
In addition to the financial support designed to help drive business success, NTCA members have access to provisioning, billing, ecommerce, customer and logistics support services from NRTC that make it easier to add a mobile offering to their suite of services – either as part of a bundle or as a stand-alone service.
