In 1988 Russ Weldon created what he then called “The Car Phone Store.” He envisioned a retail store solely dedicated to wireless communications products and services, and he made it happen.
At that time, few people knew what cellular was all about and a stand-alone wireless store was truly a unique idea. People were used to finding out about cellular at one of those huge, mega electronics stores that also sold stereos, air conditioners and microwaves…not exactly the easiest and most informative way to buy cellular.
We changed our name to Wireless Zone® in 1999 in order to convey more clearly the products that we sold then and still sell today. “Mobile phones became portable phones and are now portable data devices,” said Kevin Sinclair, President & COO of Wireless Zone. Our name changed with the evolution of the products and services.
“Today, the vision Russ had, has become a reality,” Sinclair added. Wireless Zone is the largest independent cellular agent in the country, with over 260 locations from Maine to Virginia, the Midwest States, and Florida.
We sell the total cellular solution and specialize in the sale of Verizon Wireless Voice and Data Services. Whether its Music on Demand, EVDO Video Services, Vehicle Navigation, SMS Messaging, EasyPay Service, or the products and accessories you need to access these services, Wireless Zone’s independent franchise owners are in a town near you ready to service your needs.
