Solavei Offers a Simple, Unique and Affordable Alternative to
Address Consumers' Top Concerns about Confusing and High Cost Phone Bills
BELLEVUE, Wash., Sept. 21, 2012
/PRNewswire/ -- SolaveiTM, a first-of-its kind social networking and comerence platfoem
today launched its unlimited 4G
nationwide voice, text and data mobile phone service with more than 25,000 new
members, unlocking consumers' earning potential through an affordable,
contract-free service that pays people back for adding new customers. Solavei's
business model is shifting the billions of dollars that the large wireless carriers
spend in advertising to benefit the greatest advertising vehicle today –
people.
The debut of Solavei's
flat $49 unlimited mobile phone plan addresses Americans' struggle for
affordable wireless service, as recently highlighted in the findings of a new
survey1 conducted by market research firm Toluna. Results showed a
majority of consumers (63 percent) had concerns about their mobile phone
service, led by overall high cost and followed by hidden fees, plan changes,
and charges for exceeding data limits.
Answering the demand
for a simple and affordable mobile phone solution, Solavei created a
comprehensive mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) to offer an unlimited
service plan to its members at just $49 per month. Consumers have the
flexibility to use any compatible unlocked GSM mobile phone, or purchase a new
HTC One S, HTC Wildfire or ZTE Origin from Solavei. In addition, consumers can
now earn income when they share the mobile phone service with their friends and
family through Solavei's social commerce community, which is integrated into
the leading social networks.
"Today's
connected consumers depend on their mobile phones but struggle with the cost of
current mobile service offers in the market," said Ryan Wuerch, founder
and CEO of Solavei. "Solavei developed a comprehensive social commerce
platform with the tools and resources to leverage the power of relationships
using existing social networks to make mobile service more affordable – and
even profitable – for our members. In three weeks of Beta testing, we've
enrolled more than 25,000 new members and demonstrated the breadth and
scalability of our systems."
Solavei empowers
consumers to earn a recurring monthly income for an action most Americans
already take – suggesting favorite products or services to friends and family.
In fact, nearly all consumers (93 percent) have referred a product or service.
Consumers have the opportunity to earn by sharing their mobile service
experience with others through Solavei's integrated social networking platform.
"Solavei has a
unique approach to how it is working with consumers, not treating them as a
commodity, but as part of the team,'' said Roger Entner, founder and lead
analyst of Recon Analytics. "As a pioneer in the social commerce market,
Solavei has an appealing solution for consumers to earn recurring monthly
income.''
How Solavei Works
Beginning today,
consumers can go to MyMobileTrio.com to check coverage in their area, explore phone options and sign
up for service. Through Solavei's social commerce platform and mobile
application, members can share the Solavei Mobile Service experience with
others and generate income. At its simplest, members can earn $20 per month for
every three mobile-service members (called a "Trio") they or someone
directly connected to them signs up for mobile service. When members enroll
three Trios, the income generated is greater than their monthly plan cost of
$49, essentially making their mobile service free and profitable. Members can
continue to increase their recurring monthly income as they use their social
networks to sign up more people for Solavei Mobile Service, turning their
mobile phones into income.
Solavei Fits the Needs
of Consumers
Wuerch founded Solavei
in recognition of two significant shifts in consumer behavior: social
networking and a desire to find new methods of earning income. With regard to
consumer lifestyles, Solavei is meeting consumers where they are in this
challenging economy. This is validated in the Solavei/Toluna survey results:
- Necessity of Mobile Phones – Wireless phone access is so important to Americans
that just 4 percent of consumers surveyed said they would cut their phone
service when finances are tight, ranking it ahead of gas, savings and
cable TV.
- Seeking Financial Stability – Most consumers would re-invest any money
saved/earned from mobile phone service back into their finances with more
than a third (37 percent) putting money towards other bills, 28 percent
towards savings and 13 percent toward paying off debts.
- Consumers Want to Recruit – Solavei's compensation plan seems to make sense (and
cents) to those surveyed, as a majority (80 percent) would say
"yes" or "maybe" to sharing a new wireless service
with friends and family members if they would get free mobile phone
service or earn additional income.
