TSIG.com Forms Partnership with PocketCard, the Internet VISA Card for the Young

St. Petersburg, Fla. - TeleServices Internet Group Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board:TSIG - news), known as TSIG.com, announced that it has reached an agreement with PocketCard, a new, high-tech VISA card designed especially for the young. Under the agreement, PocketCard will be available to TSIG.com`s myMusicCard and myPhotoCard customers, allowing young people to make purchases while parents maintain control over spending limits. PocketCard looks like and is accepted like a VISA card, but has unique features designed for the Internet user. The "sponsor", normally a parent or guardian, first sets up a virtual account with PocketCard. After the account is established, the sponsor can transfer funds in real-time, using any touch-tone phone or web browser. All transactions are reported in real-time, so that all purchases can be viewed on the card`s transaction history at the PocketCard.com web site. "Kids are among the biggest buyers of music and film processing, so PocketCard is the perfect partner for TSIG.com`s myMusicCard and myPhotoCard programs," noted Robert P. Gordon, Chairman and CEO. "Pocket Card is the most convenient way for parents to establish accounts for their kids, to monitor their purchases, and to teach them responsible spending habits."
