PlatinumTel and Embee Mobile Launch PlatinumTel Mobile Wallet Facebook Application

CHICAGO, IL, Apr 06 (MARKET WIRE) --
PlatinumTel, a nationwide prepaid wireless provider that operates on a 3G
network that reaches 280 million people, has partnered with Embee Mobile,
a leading e-commerce provider for Social Media to launch the PlatinumTel
Mobile Wallet Facebook application. PlatinumTel and Embee Mobile are
offering a Facebook application for the growing number of prepaid
wireless consumers.

Similar to earning frequent flyer miles on an airline, the PlatinumTel
Mobile Wallet allows users to redeem points for top-up (adding minutes)
on their mobile phone account from the convenience of Facebook. After
installing the application on Facebook, users provide basic account
information that links their PlatinumTel mobile phone account to the
application. Users then complete offers and surveys to accrue Embee
Minutes, which can be redeemed for prepaid mobile top-up.

"Money is tight and consumers are curbing spending by moving to prepaid
wireless which offers less expensive prepaid service plans without
contracts and credit checks," says SVP of Operations for PlatinumTel Omar
Abhari. "The 'PlatinumTel Mobile Wallet' service combines the popularity
and convenience of Facebook with the growing consumer trend towards
prepaid wireless. We are excited to offer consumers the chance to earn
'Embee Minutes' towards their mobile phone service, and add value to our
customers."

"Embee Mobile is one of the first social media companies to allow people
to convert virtual currency into mobile services. We give mobile users
greater spending power that can be applied towards talk and text, and our
users are really responding to that," said Russell Tillitt, CEO of Embee
Mobile. "Mobile operators are looking to keep subscribers engaged. By
working with Embee Mobile, PlatinumTel is leveraging social media to
extend their brand where customers receive greater value for their time."
