Bell Atlantic Mobile (BEL) has extended its prepaid service throughout the carrier's East Coast coverage area by adding it to markets in Connecticut, Massachusetts and upstate New York. Called MobileMinutes, the service does not require activation fees or contracts and hence has proven popular with its first-time-user target markets: cellular users who prioritize staying within certain costs as well as families who want to provide mobile handsets for children, particularly college students.
