The Wireless Source, Inc. to Exhibit at the 2008 International Consumer Electronics Show, January 7-10, 2008 at Booth 21850-D.Press kit materials are available online at http://virtualpressoffice.com/kit/TheWirelessSource BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich. -- The Wireless Source will introduce at CES this year a new mobile phone recycling service that offers the ability to recycle wireless devices in a safe and secure manner. The service is cost-free and features guaranteed data removal from the retired wireless handsets, while ensuring proper disposal of unusable devices. The Wireless Source is a global leader in the collection, processing and reuse of wireless technologies. The company supports recycling and asset recovery services to wireless service provider, retailers, businesses, charities and consumers in secure and environmentally sound manner. The Wireless Source is an ISO14001 registered company. Worldwide sales of mobile phones surpassed one billion units for the first time last year. With all these new phones, the question becomes, what is happening to all the phones that are no longer being used? As consumers and businesses upgrade their phones, it frequently creates a stockpile of unused handsets sitting idle in closets and desk drawers. So many of these units are not properly retired as consumers and businesses are concerned about privacy and identity theft of data residing on the wireless device," said Bob Sullivan, CEO of the Wireless Source. " Many people want to recycle or donate their retired handsets, but want the peace of mind knowing that all the data will be safely removed before it is retired." Sullivan further said, "We also provide our clients with tools via the web where they can remove the data themselves or they can simply send the units to us we'll do it for them. We use the latest electronic tools to remove all data from retired handsets." It is estimated that there are more than 700 million cellular phones stockpiled in the United Stated alone. Non-usable handsets are properly recycled to minimize any environmental threat. |
