SouthernLINC Wireless, a Southern Company, has expanded its partnership with The Money Tree, Inc., a retail financial services provider. SouthernLINC Wireless' Prepaid phone package is now available for purchase at 70 The Money Tree Inc. locations throughout Alabama, Florida and Georgia.

"SouthernLINC Wireless is always seeking new and convenient ways for customers to buy our Prepaid products and replenish Prepaid accounts," said Julie Pigott, vice president of marketing and customer support for SouthernLINC Wireless. "Prepaid plans are a popular choice among users with varying monthly mobile phone needs such as seasonal businesses. These plans are also great for parents of teenagers who don't want to be surprised by overages on their monthly bill."

SouthernLINC Wireless' Prepaid plans give customers the option to "pay as they go" with no monthly bill, no contract and no credit checks. The Prepaid bundle features a Motorola i265 phone, battery charger, 64K SIM card, an instructional booklet and $10 worth of free airtime and includes unlimited use of SouthernLINC Wireless's Push to Talk, unlimited night and weekend cell minutes, free incoming text messaging and basic voicemail.

"The Money Tree is pleased to expand its business relationship with SouthernLINC Wireless," said Brad Bellville, vice president, The Money Tree Inc. "Our offices are located in areas where SouthernLINC Wireless has a high concentration of customers, which is why we're an ideal partner for the company."

SouthernLINC Wireless began forging a partnership with The Money Tree Inc. in January. At that time, customers in eight cities throughout South Georgia and the Florida panhandle were able to buy SouthernLINC Wireless' Prepaid products.
