Press Release Source: Flint Telecom Group, Inc. On Wednesday November 3, 2010, 12:09 pm
OVERLAND PARK, KS--(Marketwire - 11/03/10) - Flint Telecom Group, Inc. (OTC.BB:FLTT - News), an International telecoms technology and services organization, through Power2Process, a wholly owned subsidiary, announces the launch of an exciting new valuable prepaid debit card program under a partnership program with Alterna Card Services, Inc.
The partnership program allows Alterna prepaid debit cards to be sold, registered and loaded in targeted retail outlets in areas with high immigrant populations across the United States. The Alterna debit card provides financial freedom and security for immigrants, non-banked consumers, and anyone looking for a better way to manage money. The Alterna Card works just like any bank-issued debit card, without ever having to worry about overdraft fees or the risk of going into debt. Alterna will offer their customers a range of everyday services not normally available to them, such as withdrawing money from any ATM Worldwide, paying bills online, and having payroll checks deposited directly to the card, which cuts down on cumbersome check cashing queues and costs.
Even more significantly, Alterna customers will be able to send money around the world instantly as a convenient low cost alternative to traditional international money transfer services such as Western Union. Furthermore, under this program Alterna will integrate Flint prepaid calling services with special discounts on international calling from the same card.
Alterna expects to start distributing Flint debit-cards through participating retail outlets as early as next month. Alterna is the innovator of a patent-pending prepaid card loading process which loads prepaid debit cards at the Point of Sale. Alterna will adjust their existing POS terminals that are presently configured to load gift cards, to facilitate Flint pre-paid Debit Cards.
Alterna Card Services is a full-service sales and marketing company, well established in population centers with a high concentration of unbanked, immigrant and natural born citizens. Alterna provides knowledge and expertise in the prepaid industry, with money sharing programs, specifically designed for people unable to obtain bank accounts due to credit issues or citizenship status.
Prepaid services are among the fastest growing service industry segments globally. In 2007, The World Bank estimated that worldwide remittances exceeded $318 Billion. Independent research commissioned by MasterCard estimates the U.S. market opportunity for branded pre-paid cards to be in excess of $440 Billion by 2017, a 400% increase over the market value estimated in 2009.
Madeleine Tapia, President of Alterna Card Services, Inc., commented on the partnership program, "The acquisition of Power2Process by Flint Telecom is very good news for our Company. Alterna's specialized footprint for retail stores includes our Alterna Kiosk and LCD display which also serves as cross-marketing and advertising platform. We expect the Alterna prepaid MasterCard debit cards to immediately address a market of over 12 million unbanked non-U.S. citizens, plus over 30 million unbanked U.S. Citizens across the country."
Bernard A Fried, President and COO of Flint Telecom Group, commented, "The partnership program with Alterna Card Services Inc. proves the value of our Power2Process acquisition. There are several financial processors in the U.S. that provide processing for debit card programs, however not many offer all of our features. The reason debit card program managers continue to choose Power2Process is because of its integrated features and the competitive price offered to them. The partnership is specifically designed to be geared towards the highest demand and faster growing markets in the U.S. today. Power2Process will earn a monthly fee per active card and a processing fee per every transaction per card generating recurring and growing revenues into the future."

Worth more is an easy conclusion to come to when you look at the market cap - so many POS pennies out there trading higher
ok we got 26 lets get the momo going...........
Time to rock, lets go FLTT
I for one would love to see that happen, but nobody ever knows
Uptick 0.0028 on the ask now
Only 80K shares sold to the down side - could be a good sign......?
Getttttttttttt Rrrrrrrrrready to Rrrrrrrrrruuuummmbbbllleeeeee
To the best of my knowledge, besides lawyers and whoever they paid to do the background checks and due diligence - There are no cash costs to the acquisitions - All payments are in shares with 12 month restrictions payable over 2 years.
I say the same thing - a buy order for 2,197,990 shares @ 0.0028 printed at 4:12pm
Looks like someone is trying to drive it back up - I see 4 equal size (10,000) buys back to back on the T&S
Still hypothetical......... They pay some people to post negative things about the company to help drive it down.....
Understand I'm not saying that this is what did happen here - but it does happen.
This is hypothetical: Someone with money wants to buy a stock - lets say they want 2 Million shares, lets say the shares are selling @ 0.01 - They buy 300K @ 0.01 - Then they sell that 300K at the bid in small ammounts 5,000 or more because less than 5,000 won't show up on L2 - By doing this they drop the share price down to 0.005 - They cause a sell off and buy into the sell off at 0.005. They lost 50% on their original 300K shares - but now they have 2 million shares at 1/2 price.
I'm seeing zero for short interest since Sep 30th http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/FLTT/short-sales
You have to look @ the Time & Sales....... When you get small sell orders pushing it down and large buy orders come in when it's down you know something is up.
Don't know if she understood about setting a high ask in the sell order - I think she thought you said set it @ 0.0009 and not 0.009
I do agree that you should use more than just the chart, but to say don't use a chart at all is crazy imo
So U don't look @ charts? - What you use? Newspaper and darts? lol
Trying to get something going on it, the 0.002's and even 0.003's are dirt cheap imo
Now that the scared stiff nancy boys are out - Letzzz Rock!
Sweet Bra on $FLTT - They slapping da ask with some large orders now
$FLTT @ a dip - for anyone who likes to buy low.........
Big orders getting printed @ 0.003
That's right - Eat up those 3's and lets get this thing movin
Don't leave again! lol
$FLTT - Nice load up dip here.
Peeps will be kicking themselves if they miss this dip imo
"Be Fearful when others are greedy and Greedy when others are fearful" - Warren Buffett
We're moving on lower volume today - Could the sellers be gone?
Very nice find
Looks like 0.003 is a strong support - we held up today under strong selling pressure
Seams to do that most days, picks up a bit in power hour - If you look back on a 60 minute chart you'll see what I mean.
The Volume is @ 12.5 Million - Not exactly dead imo - Unless you are talking about the past hour or so......
Bid raised to 0.0036
Hee Hee yea :D
Bid is building - 4 MM's @ 0.0035 now
Here we go 0.0037 on the ask now - she's moving back up
SSGI moved up their Ask we got a bounce from the 0.003
