September 17, 2004 By: Jack Adams Disposable Wireless Cellular Phones Perfect For Trips Or EmergenciesA Canadian company and U.S. company are joining forces to manufacture disposable wireless cellular phones. The Cyclone, as the product will be named, is an inexpensive, analog wireless cellular phone. The compact phone will be easy to store in glove compartments and first aid kits. Wireless Age, Inc. of Toronto, and Azonic of New York are teaming up to produce the new wireless phones. They are calling the Cyclone a phone for the phoneless. Two wireless models will be offered. The first will be a small, analog cell phone designed for emergency use. The wireless cell phones can also be kept in areas where disaster supplies are stocked. The second model is to be a prepaid wireless cell phone suitable for short-term use. Wireless Age and Azonic will market this phone to businesspeople and tourists who want to use a wireless phone while traveling, but dont need long-term service contracts or expensive handsets. Sold ready-to-use with AA batteries, the Cyclone wireless cell phones phones will also be refreshable. Azonic recently acquired the intellectual properties, patents and molds that will go into making the Cyclone cell phone. The company believes the new disposable cellular phones will fill a market void. They said they expect to appeal to customers who now use prepaid cell phones and to those who cannot afford the wireless phones and services now available. Wireless Age and Azonic did not give an estimate of when Cyclone phones will be on the market.
