(PRWEB) December 25, 2002 --December 23, 2002 -- Q Comm International, Inc. (OTC BB: QCCM), a business services company focusing in the electronic distribution of prepaid wireless and other prepaid services, announced today that Azfar, Inc.,formerly known as Financial Services Authority (FSA), one of Q Comms point-of-sale activation (POSA) distributors, continues to successfully replace prepaid scratch cards with Qxpress POSA terminals.

Aziz Valli, president of Azfar, Inc., says, Qxpress 200 is the most valuable product per square inch in our retail locations. It has a small footprint and allows our merchants to sell multiple, high-value products. For example, we already sell 23 different prepaid long distance products through Qxpress and were about to add another long distance product that will help us increase sales volumes in our locations even more. The flexibility that Qxpress offers in selling multiple prepaid long distance, wireless and financial services is a significant financial benefit to us and our distributors and merchants.

Qxpress POSA is also helping us to expand as a company. Because of the flexibility to have 23 different long distance products and still add more, weve been able to sign up a major distributor of the new long distance service. They will bring more than 500 new retail locations into our distribution network. Were also planning to open additional offices in California, Idaho, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia, and Florida. Qxpress allows us to efficiently manage inventory and product delivery throughout the nation.

We are very focused on providing our merchants with high-quality service," continues Valli. The Qxpress terminal offers our merchants ease and convenience and a transaction that takes less than 20 seconds. They also get complete security with individual ID and password protection. We look forward to continually adding new, profitable prepaid services while offering our distributors and merchants premier support."

We are proud of the progress made by Azfar," said Stephen C. Flaherty, president of Q Comm International, Inc. They have successfully deployed our Qxpress 200 POSA terminals in several of their retail locations and are using it to springboard into new niche services. They are particularly successful in marketing and electronically delivering new prepaid financial services, such as prepaid MasterCard. We also look forward to some merchant banking applications that they plan to add to Qxpress 200. Azfar continues to grow from period to period due to their commitment to create innovative, flexible prepaid services that meet customer needs and because they take care of their merchants in a professional manner."
