NEW YORK (Reuters) - RadioShack Corp (RSH.N) said on Tuesday that it teamed up with Western Union Co (WU.N) and wireless company Trumpet Mobile to offer a service that lets people wire money through their cellphones.

The company said the service -- which allows money to be transferred within the United States and to Latin America and Caribbean countries -- is aimed at immigrants and customers without bank accounts.
