Pivot Wireless

Pivot Wireless was a cell phone service, created by a joint venture between Sprint Nextel and multiple cable companies.[1]

Overview

Using Pivot, customers were able to access their cable TV guide, email service and watch many national channels using the cell phone. Calls made from a Pivot phone to the home phone were free, and both phones share a voicemail service.

Support

Pivot offered and supported the following phones: LG Muziq (LX-570), LG Fusic (LX-550), Samsung M510, Sanyo SCP8500 (Katana DLX), Palm Treo 755P, Motorola RAZR, Sanyo 6650 (Katana II), Motorola KRZR, Samsung M300.[2]

Pivot was dropped later by many companies after cable companies complained it was too cumbersome operationally.[3][4][5]
