SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif.--Aug. 31, 1999--New WyndTell service gives customers who are deaf or hard of hearing
unprecedented wireless access to AAA emergency roadside service
Just in time for the last long weekend of the summer, Wynd Communications, the leader in delivering life-changing wireless telecommunication services to people who are deaf or hard of hearing, launches a new feature that provides users of its WyndTell wireless messaging service with instant access to AAA Emergency Roadside Service.
Effective immediately, this new WyndTell feature offers customers, who are AAA members, the ability to contact AAA Emergency Roadside Service wirelessly and completely without cost.
"Now, when WyndTell customers need assistance on the road, it's available at their fingertips," said Dan Luis, president and CEO, Wynd Communications. "For WyndTell/AAA customers, contacting AAA Emergency Roadside Service is a free service that is included with every subscription."
"For AAA members who are deaf or hard of hearing, breaking down in an area without a TTY has, until now, meant flagging down a stranger to get assistance. Now, WyndTell service provides our customers with the only fast, reliable means to wirelessly summon roadside assistance," said Judy Viera, vice president of business development, Wynd Communications.
"AAA has always stood for safety and reliability and the WyndTell/AAA wireless solution gives members, who are deaf and hard of hearing, unrivalled assurance," said Marshall Doney, Vice President, AAA Automotive Services.
