Coinstar Adds New Prepaid Products for Hispanic Mexican Communities

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Coinstar E-Payment Services Inc., a Coinstar, Inc. company, today announced at the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) show in Atlanta the addition of two new products to its Pay as You Go program. These new products, Azteca Mobile and Ilimitado Mexico (Unlimited Mexico), are geared towards Mexicans living in the United States.

“We are very pleased to expand our portfolio of innovative products specifically designed for Hispanic Mexican communities”

Azteca Mobile is a prepaid wireless program that provides seamless voice and data capabilities, including two-way radio services and phone numbers for both the U.S. and Mexico. Unlimited Mexico from TeleCents Communications is a pay per call card that can be used from any phone. By dialing a specified domestic toll-free access number, international long-distance calling rates are eliminated.

Coinstar’s Pay As You Go product suite includes universal and single brand gift cards, national and regional wireless programs, long distance cards, prepaid debit cards, and money transfer. This turnkey program is available to convenience stores and other retailers to drive incremental traffic and revenue.
