Join the Celebration at Exchange Mobile Center Kiosks

DALLAS – Sixty-six is the magic number to celebrate as the Army & Air Force Exchange Service opened the 66th Exchange Mobile Center Kiosk in April. These kiosks feature the hottest phones from AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, a variety of service plans and great accessories, all at competitive prices.

The Grand Opening Celebration includes special promotional pricing on some of the newest 4G phones as well as on tablets like the Dell Streak 7 and Motorola Zoom. The pricing will be effective from April 15 through the 28. Shoppers can also enter to win a 55” Samsung Flat-screen HDTV, $1,000 Exchange gift card, Kinect unit for Xbox 360 or one of dozens of other prizes to be given away at each location. No purchase is necessary to win, but shoppers must enter in person to be eligible.

In addition, on Saturday April 16, each store with a kiosk offers in-store 66-cent specials on items such as burgers and soft serve from Burger King, ice cream cones from Baskin Robbins, king-sized Hershey bars, Frito packs, Keebler cookies and more. Representatives from AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon will be available to demonstrate phones and answer questions, and other fun in-store activities are planned.

“There’s no better time to shop and save for that new smart phone or tablet you’ve been wanting,” said Exchange Chief of Staff Col. Virgil Williams. “Think of Exchange Mobile Center as the place to go to find the latest handset, coolest accessory or just to ask that wireless question no one else can answer.”

The Exchange’s kiosks showcase a selection of phones from three major cellular service providers:  AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon. Shoppers can see and compare a variety of each brand’s most popular cell phones, tablets and service plans, with knowledgeable associates to provide expert assistance.

Shoppers who want a cellular phone without a contract have Exchange options as well. Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T offer special prepaid phones with no commitment or credit check.

The 66th Celebration pricing is valid from April 15th through the 28th; sweepstakes drawings are from noon until 3 on Saturday, April 16th. Shoppers must physically visit any of the 66 participating Exchanges to shop, enter and win.
