RIDGELAND, Miss., Nov 26, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Now Cellular South customers can save time and money by doing their holiday shopping on their cell phones anywhere, anytime -- thanks to two new applications. The Mississippi-based carrier, a leader in wireless solutions and innovation, has teamed up with mShopper to provide access to more than 100 online merchants, track competitive deals and notify users of sales. In addition, Cellular South has partnered with Cellfire to offer customers valuable mobile coupons from such well known retailers as Kroger, Sears and Hollywood Video. "Consumers are looking for ways to stretch their budget during these tough economic times and the mShopper application and mobile coupons can help them shop smarter and save money during the holiday season," said Jim Richmond, director of corporate communications for Cellular South. "You can shop on the go at Best Buy, Target, Apple, eLuxury, Home Depot and dozens of other stores, all from the convenience of your phone, and the competitive tracking and sales notification tools help you find the best deals out there." Also, Discover Center specialists are available in every Cellular South retail location to show customers how their cell phones can help relieve the stress of holiday shopping. To get started, Cellular South Discover Centers offer these helpful tips: -- Mobile coupon clipping: Put your scissors down and opt in to receive mobile coupons on your phone with programs such as Cellfire with Cellular South. No need to print; your grocery and retail store coupons will be automatically redeemed and validated at checkout. -- Prepare for the holiday rush using the calendar function: Before you start shopping, make a list of people you plan to buy gifts for and set a spending limit for each one. Discover Center specialists can help show you how to keep your appointments and shopping days organized. -- Track expenses with notes and calculator: Create a budget of your holiday expenses and stick to it. Make a note of the amount paid every time you swipe your card, similar to balancing your checkbook. Use your phone's notes and calculator functions to stay on top of your finances. -- Shop quickly on-the-go: Use time-saving tools like Cellular South's mShopper application, which allows you to shop anywhere, anytime from your phone. Easily compare prices and receive text or e-mail notifications when your favorite item goes on sale. -- Cell phone savers save the day: Giving gadgets as gifts doesn't have to come at a hefty price. Give inexpensive cell phone applications like texting or access to the mobile web as gifts, so your loved ones can get the most out of their gadgets this holiday season. -- Share the love: Save on costs when talking to friends and family during the holidays by using cost-effective family plans to share minutes and text messages. In fact, customers can look beyond the holiday season and save throughout the year by choosing from a variety of Cellular South Family Plans that include unlimited text messaging. -- Perfect stocking stuffer: For shoppers who want to get the gift that keeps on giving, Cellular South is offering a special holiday promotion -- a free BlackBerry Pearl 8130. The Pearl smart phone is designed to help you get more out of wireless and comes complete with advanced features, multimedia, digital camera, video recording and expandable memory. mShopper by Cellular South is available to the carrier's subscribers and appears within the shopping link on cell phones' WAP portals.
