Everybody's Phone Company Targets $32 Billion U.S. Public Prepaid Card Sector Local Calling Cards to be Marketed to Apartments and Convenience Stores in Houston
Everybody's Phone Company, Inc. On Wednesday August 18, 2010, 9:00 am EDT
HOUSTON, Aug. 18, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Everybody's Phone Company, Inc. (Pink Sheets:EVPH - News), Texas' fastest growing provider of prepaid telephone services, announced today that it plans to capitalize on the $32 Billion direct-to-consumer branded prepaid card market. Everybody's Phone Company plans to market prepaid calling cards that provide local calling service through its existing agreement with AT&T. EVPH's marketing program is geared toward selling prepaid local calling cards throughout neighborhood groceries and convenience stores, low-income and government-subsidized properties, apartments and Multiple Dwelling Units (MDU), in residential markets in the greater Houston area.
Steven H. Bethke, president of EVPH, said, "Despite a difficult 2009, sales momentum in our industry is showing new promise with the increased uptake of prepaid calling services. In the public sector, consumers are making lower priced purchases at a higher volume through the use of prepaid cards. Prepaid local calling service appeals to a broader number of consumers seeking value-priced offerings without a large financial commitment or need for a credit check. EVPH is expertly positioned to capitalize on this growing consumer trend in the years ahead."
According to a newly published Prepaid Market Sizing Report by The Boston Consulting Group, the public sector will lead branded prepaid card sales growth from $31.7 billion in 2009 to $163 Billion by 2017. Additional growth is anticipated in the corporate sector, primarily for use in payroll services. Worldwide, the branded prepaid cards market was valued at approximately $120 Billion in 2009 and is forecast to quadruple to $440 billion by 2017. By 2017, the United States is projected to hold 53 percent market share, double that of the top six markets combined (India, the UK, Mexico, Italy, the Middle East and Brazil).

EVPH has done extensive research and found that a staggering One Hundred Fifty Billion per year in the U.S. is spent on residential and business communications.
That is a HUGE market… and a portion of that captured by EVPH could catapult earnings.
Recently major phone and utility providers have made it their missions to acquire pre-paid services to offer to their customers as a method of servicing the large amount of Americans who are now considered "credit-disadvantaged."
The current business plans entail gross revenues of one million five hundred thousand in the first year and gross revenues increasing above twenty million in five years with net profits of about four million total.
Per Management, “With an economic recovery underway and sales growth increasing within the consumer prepaid services market, we are confident we can meet our projected revenues of seven hundred fifty thousand by year-end 2011. We are also confident that double-digit top-growth growth in 2012 can lead to profitability thereafter.”
Just in the United States prepaid calling card spending is expected to generate over WHOPPING five hundred fifty one million in 2013..
AT&T has made a total capital investment in its Texas wireless and wireline networks of more than six billion from 2006 to 2008.
As a result of this partnership EVPH is now benefiting from this reliable, advanced telecommunications infrastructure to bring telephone services to the sub-prime market.
EVPH has already established market share in the greater Houston area, including parts of Brazoria, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris and Montgomery counties."
