Pre-paid phone service is a natural complement to our core operations. It targets a wide base of customers whom we already know, and this will allow us to strengthen our relationship with them.
David Ingram, President and CEO, easyhome

easyhome (EH.TO), Canada's largest rent to own/leasing company, is testing a branded pre-paid home phone service. The company will begin a trial rollout of "easyphone" in select Canadian markets this month.

easyhome is partnering with SelectCore Ltd., a publicly traded Canadian pre-paid telecommunications company, to provide service through its Canadian, and eventually its U.S., locations.

"This business is a natural complement to our core operations," stated David Ingram, President and Chief Executive Officer of easyhome Ltd. "It targets a wide base of customers whom we already know, and this will allow us to strengthen our relationship with them."

easyhome will webcast its Q2 management conference call with shareholders at 11am EST on Thursday, August 2, 2007 (see story).
