Ambess Prepaid: Founding the power house
The history of Ambess Prepaid can be traced back to the early 1990’s,
when Pamela S. Nelson, CEO and Founder placed her first prepaid
phone card vending machine in a small retail location in rural Pennsylvania.
The objective was to enable the retailer to provide affordable telecommunications services that, until then, could not be purchased at retail outlets. Sales exploded and Ambess would soon become a Master Reseller of prepaid telecom products and services servicing hundreds of locations in the Mid-Atlantic.

Ambess emerges
Prepaid to serve your world In 1998, Ambess became one of the first switchless resellers to offer prepaid services on a wholesale/usage basis, enabling sub-distributors to run their entire business - from facilities, to billing, to back office - just as if they owned their own switch, with no capital or back-office investment.

Wireless, GiftCards, and other solutions
In 2001, PosiCash was developed in an effort to offer enhanced prepaid services through an electronic distribution method. The enhancement of this technology coupled with Ambess’ proven marketing concept enables distributors, wholesalers, suppliers and retailers of all sizes to enjoy the benefits of our “Profit Now….Pay Later” methodology. Through our PosiCash program, our resellers can offer a multitude of products and services via a single source terminal solution thus creating more efficiencies in the sales process, virtually eliminating any start-up costs and offering a wide array of nationally branded products.
