Prepaid Telephone Cards Featuring His Holiness The Pope & His Prayers.

MAXX International Inc. acquired the global rights of intellectual and material properties of faith, and Telstar International Inc. They are scheduled to begin marketing in mid-March affinity prepaid telephone cards in English and Spanish featuring Pope John Paul II along with selected prayers by his Holiness printed on the cards.

“This is the first time that photographs of Pope John Paul II, along with prayers by his Holiness, will have appeared on prepaid telephone cards,” offers Michael Jay Solomon, CEO and Chairman of MAXX International. “The cards are a cost effective, safe and uncomplicated way for business people, tourists and teenagers to call home when they are traveling and may well remind the caller of the need to make a more heavenly communication as well.”

A series of four prepaid telephone cards, each including a different colored photograph of his Holiness, along with printed prayers by Pope John Paul II on each card, will be marketed throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, the Philippines and Peru. The cards will be printed in English and Spanish. A card printed in Brazilian Portuguese is scheduled to be marketed later in the year. The cards will be sold in denominations of $5, $10 and $20.

Telstar plans to roll out all four cards in various denominations at the Miami InteleCard Show March 12-15. “We are very excited about the roll out of this product and believe it will be very successful. It is our plan to have several million cards distributed throughout our global retail network this year,” says Telstar’s President, Joseph C. Guariglia.
