Nov. 4, 2009 - PRLog -- San Francisco, Calif., Embee Mobile today announced the next release of its Embee Mobile Minute Wallet on Facebook, making it easier than ever for U.S. consumers with prepaid mobile phone plans to earn, spend, manage and share mobile credits and top-up minutes for their mobile phone account. The dashboard allows users to manage their prepaid mobile wallet from the convenience of their Facebook account, and is the first Facebook application that allows people to earn virtual currency (called “Embee Minutes”) that can be redeemed for actual prepaid mobile minutes.

The Basics of Embee Mobile Minute Wallet
