Azteca Mobile Taps Levenson & Hill for Cross-Border Strategic Media Services – MarketWatch

Levenson & Hill has been selected by Azteca Mobile to develop strategic media services for the wireless company’s pioneering mobile and radio services at the border between the United States and Mexico.
Azteca Mobile is the first wireless provider to offer both mobile and radio (Walkie-talkie/push and talk) services to the Mexican community in the United States, to customers who frequently cross the U.S.-Mexico border and to those in Mexico whose friends and relatives are in the United States.
“We are very happy to have engaged the media services of Levenson & Hill,” said Sergio Montalvo, marketing director for Azteca Mobile, LLC, based in Glendale, Calif. “We believe our products and services are focused on a unique niche that fortunately is growing, and we are delighted to be working with Levenson & Hill to reach consumers with our message.”
Levenson & Hill’s Juan Pablo Achinte said: “We are very privileged to partner with the customer-focused team at Azteca Mobile to bring our extensive knowledge of the U.S. market and retail distribution channels to their innovative and growing business.”
Azteca Mobile’s pre-paid, contract-free service offers consumers many plans and options — “Your phone has dual citizenship” is the company’s tagline — among them:

– If customers purchase an Azteca Mobile phone with the “No Borders
Plan,” U.S. and Mexico calls consist of one region and all calls have the
same flat rate.

– Customers may have one number in the United States and other numbers
in Mexico by activating “My Mexican Number” features, so they can easily be
reached by anyone in the U.S. or Mexico with no long distance charges.

– Azteca Mobile also offers the only pay-as-you go mobile phone service
with two-way radio that works in both the U.S. and Mexico.
