The prepaid FatPort cards or ‘FatCodes can be used to access FatPorts network of over 300 FatPort hotspots across Canada. The mobitus codes can be redeemed for Voice-over-IP long distance calling. Both products are activated by using the unique code printed on them at the fatport.com and mobitus.com websites to activate the product for use.
"The partnership between InComm and Fatport enables wireless internet capability to be available in retailers across Canada," said Incomms Director of International Sales Brian Parlotto. We are pleased to combine Fatport's broad-reaching Wi-Fi product with our vast retail distribution. The strength of InComm's category expertise and Fatport's wide footprint makes for a winning proposition to Canadian retailers as well as increased consumer access to this product. Fatport point-of-sale activated cards will be sold starting July 1, 2005 through InComm's retail partners."
Our agreement with InComm allows us, for the first time, to provide a new channel for the sale of our pre-paid products for both our FatPort and mobitus brands in leading national retail chains across Canada" said Michael Kuhlmann, VP Business Development at FatPort Corporation.
