Regardless of distance and borders, expatriates and immigrants can conveniently stay in touch with friends and family through Prepaid.com, a recharge portal for prepaid mobile accounts allowing mobile customers to send airtime to friends and family worldwide.

Prepaid.com is owned and operated by Vesta Corporation, a global enabler of electronic payment solutions. The company announced the expansion of Prepaid.com.

“Prepaid.com’s expanded coverage makes it easier than ever to send a gift of airtime from the U.S. to family and friends around the world,” XJ Wang (News - Alert), vice president at Vesta, said in a recent statement. “And operators can capitalize on the billions of cross-border payments sent annually by leveraging Vesta’s expertise in delivering the industry’s best user experience, security and privacy.”

As a provider of client-branded electronic payment solutions, Vesta has processed hundreds of millions of secure payments for goods and services through a variety of channels, including the Internet, mobile phones, retail point of sale, and industry-leading mobile commerce applications.

And through its fully managed payment capabilities, Vesta believes it is able to deliver a better recharge experience for users and a streamlined relationship with operators and partners.

With the expansion of Prepaid.com, Vesta has added 78 Mobile Operators from 39 Countries to Prepaid.com Recharge Payment Portal. The expanded list of countries supporting in-country and cross-border recharge of prepaid airtime includes Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Philippines, Jamaica and more.

Customers can perform a one-time or schedule recurring recharge. The recharge process is fast, reliable and secure and requires no cumbersome registration, PINs or refill cards. Future enhancements will allow customers to send gift requests and recharges via smartphone application and voice portal.

The Prepaid.com user interface is offered in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Recharge capabilities cover more than 80 percent of U.S. outbound international calling and SMS destinations for key countries in Latin America, the Caribbean and Asia.

Prepaid.com plans to support over 200 mobile operators in 80 countries by the end of 2012.
