'When I first came across the idea of having my prepaid carrier, I was 17, working my first job and with my very first contract carrier. When I first got started with the service, I was under the impression I’d be paying just $98; that never happened.'
Chaymeriyia Moncrief, Alabama entrepreneur who launched prepaid carrier Tesix Wireless Network at 24 years old in September of 2018, is making strides towards building her Millennial focused mobile virtual network operator.
Explaining her motivation to start Tesix Wireless she says – “When I first came across the idea of having my prepaid carrier, I was 17, working my first job and with my very first contract carrier. When I first got started with the service, I was under the impression I’d be paying just $98; that never happened. My bill included activation fees, surcharges, taxes, hardware fees , data overage fees, and the list goes on.
Researching, saving, planning, and executing for nearly two years has paid off but was not an easy task. Rejected by the carriers, no demand for the services, and no visibility, Chaymeriyia was losing hope that she could make this happen. Pivoting her approach, she realized she had to do something different, something that appealed to her market to grow her pre-engagements.
After announcing the launch of Tesix Wireless via social media in 2018 the start-up grew their waitlist from 0 to nearly 4,000 eager subscribers, making $40K in sim pre-sales, $1.5M in investments, and even received an acquisition offer. Tesix has sinceChaymeriyia launched the carrier for open activation on December 28th.
