Q COMM CEO TO SPEAK AT WIRELESS PREPAID FORUM 2000

Presentation to Focus on the Benefits of Point-of-Sale Activation (POSA) over Hard-Card Delivery of Prepaid Wireless through Retail Locations

(Orem, UT) -- October 23, 2000 -- Q Comm International, Inc. (OTC BB: QCCM), a prepaid services network for wireless, announced Monday that its CEO, Paul Hickey, will participate as a panelist and featured speaker at the Wireless Prepaid Forum 2000 in San Diego taking place between October 23 -- 26, 2000.

On Tuesday, October 24 at 11:30 AM, Mr. Hickey will participate in the conference as an expert panelist on Examining New Market Segmentation and Innovative Distribution Channels. In addition to Q Comm, other companies represented on the panel will include Rogers AT&T Wireless (NYSE: RG) and Leap Wireless (NasdaqNM: LWIN).

On Wednesday, October 25 at 3:00 PM, Mr. Hickey will speak on Examining the Features & Benefits of Payment & Recharge Options with a focus on the benefits of point-of-sale activation (POSA) over hard-card delivery of prepaid wireless through retail locations.

The invitation to participate in the conference stems from the fact that Q Comm is a prepaid wireless industry leader in supplying retailers with revolutionary POSA technology. Demand for the Companys POSA unit, Qxpress, has been robust due to the many benefits it delivers to consumers and multiple other parties in the industry.

One of the reasons that Q Comm will continue on its rapid growth pattern is our electronic POSA system, Qxpress," said Hickey. Qxpress allows us to provide revolutionary solutions to each of the prepaid wireless industrys key members including consumers who have been unserved by billable wireless plans; retailers who need to reduce inventory costs, out-of-stocks, and theft; undercapitalized resellers who need to migrate to a POSA platform or risk loosing their business; and carriers who need retail distribution partners and improved inventory management. Through Qxpress we offer the technology and product solutions to meet the needs of each of these key industry members.

Being a panelist and featured speaker at the conference will allow me to expose more people in the prepaid wireless industry to the revolutionary benefits that a POSA system, like Qxpress, offers to all of the industrys key participants. With POSA, its a win-win for everybody. The retailer wins because, in addition to all the operational benefits, they can now greatly expand their revenues and profits by easily adding and offering any number of prepaid wireless products from different carriers; the reseller wins because their retailers product line expansion greatly increases their sales and profits; and the carriers also win because they get greater distribution of their products resulting in higher sales and profits for them too. Because of this, the industry is just starting to wake up to POSA, its taking the nation by storm and Q Comm is right in the thick of it."
