Cox Communications, the largest private broadband company in America, officially announced the nationwide availability of Cox Mobile at CES. The broadband company has announced the national launch of Cox Mobile, the company's new mobile phone service availability to Cox Internet customers in Cox markets nationwide. With Cox's new cell phone service, current internet customers can stay connected with unlimited calling and texting.

Cox Mobile customers have just two simple data plans designed with budget and need in mind - Pay As you Gig and Gig Unlimited - with unlimited talk, SMS/MMS, and no-term agreements.
