American Telecom Services Launches Pay N' Talk(TM) Products Through Office Depot Stores Nationwide

Posted on: Wednesday, 18 October 2006, 09:00 CDT

CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif., Oct. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American Telecom Services Inc. , a provider of converged communications solutions today announced that Office Depot and OfficeDepot.com have launched a Pay N' Talk (PNT) phone program chain wide in approximately 1,200 stores, offering consumers multi-handset cordless phone combinations that are part of the ATS Pay N' Talk line of home phones. The phones come bundled with free Minutes from the Pay N' Talk prepaid long distance service as part of the program.

Office Depot's decision to carry and nationally promote Pay N' Talk products significantly expands the retail distribution network for this line. The launch began with the promotion of an ATS Multi Handset Cordless phone combo package in Office Depot's weekly circular advertisement in September that reached millions of homes. This will continue throughout the year with additional circular and in-store promotions and the expansion of the line to include additional Pay N' Talk products.

Pay N' Talk service offers consumers the opportunity to save on their regional, domestic and international long distance service through one-touch access using the money saving green button on every handset. Using the money saving green button, consumers can activate their Pay N' Talk account, use the promotional minutes that are included with every phone, make calls and manage their account. The Pay N' Talk service offers annual savings of up to 60% compared to the average household's residential long distance service fees incurred when using incumbent long distance telephone service providers.
