Primus Prepaid Calling Card News
PRIMUS Telecommunications Group, Incorporated (NASDAQ:PRTL), one of the world's ten largest carriers of international voice traffic, announced the launch of its "Global Managed Prepaid Platform Services" targeted for carriers and distributors of prepaid card services around the world.
The unique new service is a product of leveraging the global TDM, VOIP and prepaid calling card infrastructure owned and operated by PRIMUS with its extensive experience in providing wholesale carrier services and managing retail prepaid card services.
"Our new service is primarily designed to provide any telecom operator or prepaid card distributor a 'one-stop shopping' packaged solution that allows accelerated entry into the prepaid card market without any up-front capital expenditures and without the need to set up a large operational organization," said Stephen McIntyre, who now leads PRIMUS's combined wholesale and prepaid card divisions as its President. "Riding on PRIMUS's global network, customers of the new service will have the ability to enter markets worldwide and have the benefit of built-in scalability for their business."Another hallmark of the new service is its flexibility.
"With our networks and systems in place, we can launch a customer's new service quickly," McIntyre added. "Customers will also have the choice of selecting from the range of support services PRIMUS can provide: multiple access types (Toll Free, Local Access, ITFS); service based on 'Pins' or CLI recognition/Pinless; partial to full management of their partition within the platform; access and termination for calls or 'transport' calls back to the wholesale customer to terminate the calls themselves. In short, the customer decides which services it wants PRIMUS to provide in order to make them successful in the marketplace."
