ECTL Friday February 11, 11:28 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Elcotel, Inc. Elcotel Introduces New Wireless Phone for International Markets; New TDMA/CDMA Public Phone Designed Specifically for High-Growth Central & South American Wireless Markets SARASOTA, Fla., Feb. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Elcotel, Inc. (Nasdaq: ECTL - news), a leading provider of public access communications services, introduced today a new TDMA/CDMA compatible fixed-location wireless public phone designed specifically for the growing public communications markets in Central and South America. Dubbed Solarus II(TM), the public phone is the new generation of Elcotel's wireless payphone product line. Solarus II(TM) joins Elcotel's successful card-operated AMPS-based payphones. The AMPS wireless payphone has been successfully deployed with Telcel, a BellSouth wireless carrier in Venezuela. Other amps wireless phone customers include Conecell in Ecuador and Iusacell in Mexico. With this introduction, Elcotel provides the broadest set of cellular public phone technology choices available today. According to Michael Boyle, president and chief executive officer of Elcotel, the new TDMA/CDMA public phone helps countries to offer and expand public telephony service to regions that are underserved by the existing telephone infrastructure. ''The marriage of the public phone and wireless network helps solve the crucial problem of network availability while expanding growth and revenue opportunities through new markets and users for the cellular carrier,'' he said. ''We envision Solarus II(TM) as a key tool in helping wireless carriers extend their market reach beyond traditional handheld phones and help build a public communications network that advances availability to the network in developing countries.'' Solarus II(TM) integrates radio technology from Telular in a unit suitable for both CDMA and TDMA digital wireless networks. It serves as a fixed portal for prepaid, emergency and free voice services and can be located either indoors or outdoors.

I was surprised that ONSS took such a hit yesterday and today after reporting 500% net earnings increase. I know, I know, sell on the news. But I think there is a lot more potential here than just a great quarterly report. Anyway, just didn't expect this much retrace. (Read that as wishing I had waited a couple days before adding to my position - ). Sobering experience to realize playing rats are not necessarily a money machine. Last few weeks have been extraordinary. What trend are you expecting in the near future for our current crop? KT
