PCA Chooses Q Comm
OREM, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 14, 1999--Q Comm International Inc. (OTC BB:QCCM - news), a prepaid telecommunications service provider, announced today that it has been chosen by the Professional Caddies Association (''PCA'') to be the exclusive provider of prepaid phone cards to each of its 1,360 members.
Q Comm and the PCA will initiate their relationship at the U.S. Open in Pinehurst, N.C. from June 17-20. The PCA members participating in the U.S. Open will be wearing caps with Q Comm's insignia prominently displayed on those caps.
Professional Golf Caddies, who are members of the PCA, travel thousands of miles each year while on tour with professional golfers participating in tournaments around the world. These frequent travelers and others like them can reduce their phone bills and control their expenses by using a prepaid phone card like that offered by Q Comm to make long distance calls while away from home.
The company's chief executive officer, Paul Hickey, commented on the selection of its service by the PCA, stating: ''Prepaid phone cards are often viewed as only a distant second to calling cards offered by traditional long-distance carriers. The decision of the Professional Caddies Association demonstrates, however, that prepaid phone cards provide benefits to many people, especially to persons who travel regularly. We are extremely pleased that the PCA has chosen Q Comm as its exclusive telecommunications provider, and we look forward to receiving the national exposure that comes with participating in the U.S. Open Golf Championship.''
