| About Us | |||||||||
| Larry King, owner of LiveWire Communications, LLC, has 30 years experience in retail cellular sales, having owned 25 stores, including eight in O.C. and Long Beach in 12 years. He's also Director of Retail Sales for eAgency Systems in Newport Beach, maker of RADAR, Your Child's Mobile Watchdog. For the last 12 years, LiveWire Communications, LLC has handled all stores and RADAR activities, and East Village Cellular in Downtown Long Beach. We have sold more than 50,000 cell phones and over 30,000 since setting up in O.C. and Long Beach. According to Larry, "I was a part of the first cellular test in the United States in the early '80s when we owned a high-end car stereo boutique in Chicago. We installed the first cell phones in several Mercedes, and let businessmen drive around and evaluate the system two months. It took two days to install what seemed like miles of thick cable and we had to drill holes all over those cars, including the middle of the trunk for an antenna. With the advent of bagphones and then hand-held brickphones, the cellular business took off, and we dropped the stereo end of the business (1988) and concentrated on cell phones and accessories. I have always believed in attractive neighborhood boutiques with exceptional customer service, rather than chain superstores and virtual internet operations. We let our customers know that if they have any previous or current issues with their equipment or carrier, we are there to handle it for them. We teach them how to use their phones and accessories and how to read and understand their monthly bills. We really bend over backwards to accomodate our clientele. We keep up with the newest and latest technology and pass that information to our customers. We are also good at getting our customers monthly discounts based on employment or affiliations, usually with the customer not being aware the were eligible. |
