Cricket Kyocera Luno
Cricket Communications, Inc., a leading provider of innovative and value-driven wireless services and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Leap Wireless International, Inc., and Kyocera Communications Inc., provider of Kyocera- and Sanyo-branded wireless devices, answered the call for simplicity with today’s launch of the Kyocera Luno at Cricket. Available for $59.99 MSRP and combined with the smart value of Cricket’s unlimited talk, text & mobile data service plans, Luno is budget-friendly and offers streamlined key features in a dependable, high-quality mobile phone.
“Cricket recognizes that many consumers want a dependable, easy-to-use phone that’s excellent for making calls and sending messages,” said Matt Stoiber, vice president and general manager of devices for Cricket. “Cricket’s unlimited, no-contract, flat-rate wireless plans and the Luno’s affordable price create a smart value combination that can’t be beat.”
The Kyocera Luno is immediately available at Cricket branded retail stores, select dealers in all Cricket markets and online at www.mycricket.com. Luno’s classic clamshell design features a deep purple exterior with large reflective inset and 1-inch color external display. It opens to reveal a 1.8-inch vibrant color display and a tactile keypad with visual separation for faster, easier SMS and MMS messaging and dialing. Luno supports Bluetooth 2.1; BREW 3.1.5 technology to download games, ringers, wallpapers and more;* and includes a WAP 2.0 browser* and VGA camera with 5x digital zoom. Impressive voice recognition features in English and Spanish include voice tags, voice digit-dialing, and voice response to help users be hands-free on the go.
“We’ve enjoyed a long history with Cricket and their customers,” said Eric Anderson, senior vice president and general manager of sales and marketing at Kyocera Communications Inc. “While Kyocera’s latest Android devices are exciting for many, the high-quality, voice-centric device like Luno – with its unbeatable price point – is gaining favor again with people whose key features are voice and messaging.”
The value and feature packed Kyocera Luno is offered with Cricket’s all-inclusive unlimited plans, including the basic $35 unlimited talk and text, and the robust $45 plan which provides users with unlimited talk, text, 411 information, navigation, international text, unlimited picture messages, unlimited web browsing and more. In addition, the $45 rate plan provides convenient access to MyHomeScreen, MyBackup, and Cricket Navigator, a platform that gives users turn by turn directions without ever having to upgrade new map features like other expensive navigation systems.
