Tuesday June 24, 10:44 am ET

ATLANTA, GA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jun 24, 2008 -- Viscom International Inc. announced its $5 BEST(TM) Mexico prepaid phone cards and $5 BEST(TM) Mexico Celular cards will be available in more than 20,000 locations as part of a distribution deal signed this month with Emida Technologies Inc., a leader in the global prepay and value transfer market.

The agreement with Emida is the third distribution partnership this year for Viscom, provider of prepaid products and marketing services for the U.S. Hispanic market. Earlier in 2008, Viscom announced expanded distribution through Kroger stores and through Blackstone Touch-n-Buy retail kiosks.

"The distribution of our products across Emida's vast Debisys network helps us meet the increasing demand for reliable prepaid phone card brands that deliver the minutes promised and don't charge exorbitant fees," said Lourdes Fusaro Norton, Viscom vice president of sales. "This distribution agreement is another great indication of the strength of the BEST(TM) Mexico brand among U.S. Hispanics."

Emida's Debisys network provides point-of-sale-activation (POSA) distribution points in predominantly Hispanic-focused stores including independent businesses such as convenience stores, supermarkets, drug stores and recharge wireless stores. Established in 1996, Emida's Debisys network offers consumers a wide range of prepaid products including wireless, long distance and prepaid credit/debit cards, bill payment and prepaid Internet.

Depending on location, customers purchasing a BEST(TM) Mexico product through the Debisys network receive either a printed thermal prepaid phone card or a receipt with a calling card pin.
