those without a computer can call the 1-888 number on the ad that runs betwen 5pm and midnight or is otherwise prominently featured in the marketing material (although live operators only from 5pm- 12:00 midnight for now). Now, at the risk of presenting actual factual information, here's something to chew on: While the ads and promotions are indeed geared to those poor souls who cannot obtain credit cards, etc., the 5 sales agents that OTOW has retained (and more to follow)are not going to be going door to door trying to sign people up- what, you ask are they going to be doing?? Good question, glad you asked- they are going to canvas and sign up BUSINESSES that employ the type of folks that are our target users. One of the big features is that an EMPLOYER can direct deposit an employee's pay onto the card- so, if you own a restaurant and employ a good number of waiters/busboys/actors, etc., you can give each employee a card, and their pay gets direct deposited. What businesses are targets you ask? Good question. How about car washes? Restaurants (both fast food and otherwise)? Maid services such as Molly Maid here in NY? Bike messengers? The list goes on and own as to business that employ the less fortunate and downtrotten- now they too can enjoy the convenience of "direct deposit" WITHOUT A BANK ACCOUNT. Go ahead, tell me how walmart is going after the BUSINESS accounts, LOL. Now- of course, once we are up and running, it will also be used to make sure OTOW subscribers pay their OTOW bills. The folks here really have NO CLUE just how big this can be revenue wise- and while certainly not part of the original plan, the revenues will serve as added security/collateral for the financing for towers which, despite all the negative posts/attacks- WILL HAPPEN. So don't be surprised at the PPS when Val announces that 10,000 cards have been sold, then 25,000, then 100,000 and the revenues associated. Can't say I didn't "WARN YA", LOL

They can call the number on the commercial

Its set up so they can call customer service and sign up. We also have a telemarketing campaign with outgoing calls. So we can capture those with a computer and without.
