TCU issues challenge to fans in support of Special Olympics Texas

Ocala, FL November 12, 2005 -- RMS Communications Group Inc., one of the nation’s leading recyclers and re-marketers of used cell phones, announced today it will partner with the National Association of Triads, Inc. (N.A.T.I.) to help provide 911 emergency cell phones for senior citizens.

N.A.T.I. is a partnership of law enforcement, senior citizens, and community groups. It was formed to promote senior safety and to reduce the fear of crime that seniors often experience. The American Association of Retired Persons (now AARP), the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the National Sheriffs’ Association (NSA) formed Triad in 1988.

RMS formed www.911CellPhoneBank.com , a web site that provides 911 emergency cell phones to law enforcement and social service agencies, in June 2004. The program supports local agencies as well as the National Association of Triad members which collect used cell phones in their communities and turn them over to RMS, which in turn sends 911 phones back to those agencies for distribution to people who need them.

The agencies not only get the 911 phones; they also get cash, which they can use for a variety of community-based programs. In the time that 911CellPhoneBank.com has been in operation, more than $250,000 has been turned over to public agencies, and more than 2,000 911 cell phones have been distributed every month.

The partnership with N.A.T.I. should make the 911 cell phones program more widely known to police agencies throughout the nation.

“We are delighted to partner with N.A.T.I.,” said James Mosieur, chief executive officer of RMS Communications Group Inc. “This affiliation should greatly increase the reach of 911CellPhoneBank.com, and should put many more 911 emergency phones into the hands of the senior citizens who can make good use of them.”

The first Triad agreement was signed in St. Martin Parish, La. in 1988. From that point forward, word about the Triad model spread and communities large and small adopted the concept.

In 2000, the National Sheriffs’ Association created N.A.T.I. as an affiliate not-for-profit 501 (c) (3) corporation in an effort to bring uniformity to the programs and activities conducted nationwide.

“Our programs are not-for-profit organizations dependent on volunteers and funds or in-kind donations from local communities. RMS has a proven record of senior safety concerns and has taken steps to alleviate some of the operating costs for our local Triads. We are pleased to welcome them as a Triad partner and our first Corporate Sponsor of NATI, as well” offers NATI Program Director, Edward Hutchison.

“This program is a win for everyone,” said Greg Mooneyham, who is RMS’ 911 program manager. “Not only are agencies provided with revenue, but phones. Phones that cannot be reused are responsibly recycled, and kept out of the landfills.”

Based in Ocala, RMS Communications Group Inc. operates a number of web sites. Bedsides 911CellPhoneBank.com, it pays cash for used cell phones to people who visit www.CellForCash.com it pays non-profit groups for cell phones they collect through www.WirelessFundraiser.com , and it offers cell phone recycling opportunities through www.RecycleForCalifornia.com , www.RecycleForUS.com , and other web sites.
