Off Topic: Go get um Ski.ggg ( BW)(SKYTEL)(SKYT) SkyTel, Big Planet Sign Prepaid Paging Agreement ÿÿÿÿBusiness Editors ÿÿÿÿJACKSON, Miss.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 9, 1998--SkyTel Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: SKYT) and Big Planet Inc. have signed a distributor agreement for Big Planet to sell SkyTel's prepaid paging products through its direct marketing network beginning July 10. The prepaid products that will be available include numeric paging, text paging, and the Beepwear(TM) pager watch. ÿÿÿÿAn innovative addition to the SkyTel product and service line, prepaid paging provides the convenience of paging without the commitment of ongoing contracts, monthly bills, credit applications or deposits. As a result, it is ideal for businesses and individuals with short-term or infrequent paging needs. ÿÿÿÿBig Planet will sell SkyTel's prepaid paging products under its own brand name. The prepaid package features a Motorola pager, personal 1-800 number and 500 service credits good for up to three months. Each service credit is good for one local numeric page. The prepaid package also includes optional features such as nationwide service and Caller ID on incoming pages. Additionally, all prepaid text paging customers receive news, sports and weather updates delivered directly to their pagers at no additional cost. Customers wanting additional service credits can purchase recharge cards from Big Planet as often as needed. ÿÿÿÿ"Since customers get the pager and the service neatly pre-packaged together in one box, prepaid paging is easy to buy and use," said SkyTel Consumer Products Group marketing director Craig Hagopian. "It's also the easiest way for consumers to enter the exciting world of messaging. In addition to providing customers with instant paging and communication, it offers value-added services at competitive prices." ÿÿÿÿSelling through its network is not the only way Big Planet will use SkyTel's products and services. Big Planet will utilize SkyTel's broadcast messaging capabilities to communicate via pager with its own sales force throughout the United States. ÿÿÿÿSkyTel officials said prepaid paging complements Big Planet's marketing approach, and Big Planet should prove to be a strong strategic alliance. ÿÿÿÿ"This partnership with Big Planet fits perfectly with our strategy to build synergistic alliances to distribute our messaging products," said SkyTel President and CEO John T. Stupka. "Big Planet is unique among network marketing companies. We believe the company is positioned to deliver a complete menu of technology-oriented products to a broad range of customers." ÿÿÿÿ"Big Planet views our exclusive relationship with SkyTel as a key component of our overall communications product offering for individuals, families and small businesses," said Richard King, president of Big Planet. "By combining SkyTel's feature-rich products with our high-touch marketing approach, we truly manifest our vision of partnering with only best-in-class providers that allow us to offer tailor-made technology solutions to the world's leading network marketing channel." ÿÿÿÿSkyTel, headquartered in Jackson, Miss., is a leader in wireless messaging, serving more than 1.3 million customers. Since 1989, the company has led the paging sector towards true nationwide messaging through a series of innovations that culminated in SkyTel two-way interactive messaging service, which enables customers to exchange messages with other pagers and the Internet.
