With a $30 million investment, Cellular South, one of the original wireless providers in the state twelve years ago, has announced that they will erect 100 wireless towers in Mississippi this year, a major network expansion that will increase the company's total number of towers by approximately 65%. The company will now host the largest network of towers in Mississippi.
  As the penetration rate of wireless continues to expand and as the wireless industry continues to see an increase in wireless usage, Cellular South wants to insure their customers will continue to have a vast array of leading edge services and options available to them. "Mississippi is home to Cellular South, so we understand what our customers want and need in a wireless provider because our wants and needs are the same," said Hu Meena, president of Cellular South. "'This investment and network expansion solidifies our Company's dedication to providing service that caters solely to the needs of our customers in each and every corner of our state and everywhere in between."
  Cellular South is the largest provider of wireless service in Mississippi. Cellular South, headquartered in Jackson, provides service to all of Mississippi's 82 counties and operates more than 60 wireless retail locations throughout the state. The company was recently named the sole recipient of the 1999 Blue Chip Enterprise Award for Mississippi and, in 1997, was Mississippi's first telecommunications company to receive the Mississippi Quality Award for Excellence.
  Cellular South's newest calling plan offers solutions for those migrating toward landline replacement, pager replacement or simply trying to reduce their monthly costs. The emergence of the new Free Incoming Calls Plan makes Cellular South the first in the state to offer free unlimited, incoming calls. This is the latest in a long list of firsts for the company.
