San Francisco, CA (November 16, 2001) — Online retailer and enterprise solutions provider LetsTalk.com will be among the first to offer consumers the option of using gift certificates to buy wireless phones. Wireless products are notoriously difficult gifts to give because of individual credit checks by the carriers, geographic service plan limitations and the level of individuality that goes into buying a wireless device.

“Buying a wireless phone is an incredibly personal experience – so we wanted to give people the freedom to choose the best plan to suit their needs and lifestyle,” said Delly Tamer, president and CEO of LetsTalk.com.

When you receive a gift certificate, you can come to LetsTalk.com and research and compare options from all the major carriers. The gift certificate allows you the freedom to choose a phone and plan that matches your lifestyle. Once you have decided on a phone and plan, the value of the certificate can be applied to the cost of the phone, tax, shipping charges or any accessories you might like. Because the monthly service charges vary with usage, gift certificates can not be applied to the activation or monthly service charges, which are collected directly from the carrier at a later date.
