Kashimo WiMAX Exchange Service Achieves 500 Uses

Kashimo WiMAX, a mobile communication service provided by ME Mobile, a subsidiary of Market Enterprise, has announced that its innovative device exchange service has surpassed a total of 500 utilizations between its launch in August 2024 and October 2, 2025. This program enables customers to exchange their mobile devices in a sustainable manner, allowing them to replace damaged or lost devices without the financial burden of purchasing new ones.

Service Overview

The device exchange service operates by collecting devices from customers, inspecting and refurbishing them to ensure they meet the quality standards of brand-new units. This initiative not only helps users transition to new devices more affordably when warranties no longer cover replacements, but it also promotes a sustainable approach to electronic device management, reducing waste and minimizing the environmental impact associated with manufacturing new devices.

In today’s consumer landscape, the practice of discarding perfectly functional devices is eerily common. This leads to unnecessary energy consumption and contributes to CO₂ emissions and electronic waste. The Kashimo WiMAX device exchange initiative seeks to address such pressing societal issues by offering a win-win scenario—providing economic benefits to customers while promoting a more sustainable future.

Previously, customers who terminated their services with Kashimo WiMAX were responsible for disposing of their devices themselves. Now, through this service, they can return their devices to the company. After undergoing thorough inspection and refurbishment, the devices are returned to circulation, effectively reducing electronic waste.

The program also offers an affordable solution to customers who may have lost their devices or experienced repair issues that aren’t covered under warranty. In the past, customers had to purchase new devices at full price, but they can now opt for refurbished models at a significantly lower price. This choice is not only advantageous for the customer’s wallet but also beneficial for the environment by lessening the pressure on resources.

Significance of the Program

By streamlining the process of reusing devices and providing a cost-effective option for clients, the Kashimo WiMAX device exchange service is a step forward in the creation of a sustainable society. Each use of the service represents a small action that balances convenience with eco-friendliness, culminating in a substantial collective impact on fostering a circular economy.

Kashimo WiMAX is committed to beyond just providing mobile communication services. The company aims to promote a new perspective on valuing and using resources. As the movement towards reusing products gains momentum in the telecommunications sector, ME Mobile is dedicated to enhancing these efforts alongside its customers, progressively contributing to the establishment of a circular society.
