HONG KONG, July 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Hutchison Telecommunications (Hong Kong) Limited (HTHK) announced the launch of its direct-to-handset satellite communications value-added service (VAS) by the consumer brand “3” and the premium brand “SUPREME”.  Pre-registration began on 1 July. Compatible handsets or mobile devices are required to deploy the service.

HTHK also launched the 5G Data Roam-like-Home monthly plans for three destinations, together with the upgraded 1-Card-2-Number service, bringing a new mobile experience to users heading north, without extra roaming charges. 

Precise deployment of sky-to-earth connectivity drives competitive advantages

Earlier this year, China Telecom unveiled its direct-to-phone satellite connectivity service in Hong Kong, powered by the Tiantong-1 satellite system. With the new VAS, customers of 3 and SUPREME can make and receive satellite calls and text by using compatible smartphones and mobile devices. Users can stay connected via satellite communications even in remote areas, whether deep in the mountains or on the sea. Other than Huawei’s recently launched new satellite smartphone, it is HTHK’s plan to introduce other compatible mobile devices as soon as they are available later this year.

Kenny Koo, Executive Director and CEO of Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong Holdings Limited, said: “As a leading local digital operator committed to innovation, we collaborate with top-notch partners to provide customers with remarkable services. Our new satellite communications VAS complements our 5G services, enabling a seamless network experience even in remote areas, demonstrating our leadership in technology.”

New 5G data concept: “Roam like home” across three destinations

It was quite a hassle to get roaming data ready when travelling to the mainland for leisure in the past. With the new 5G Data Roam-like-Home monthly plans in place, customers can now conveniently use their data in Hong Kong, mainland China and Macau without paying extra roaming charges. They can even access all three major networks in mainland China, enjoying the most comprehensive coverage. From now on, travelling across the mainland can be enjoyed with a data service experience just like being in Hong Kong.

Travel in style with upgraded 1-Card-2-Number service and number pairing

Having a mainland China mobile number is necessary for uninterrupted communications when travelling in the mainland. 3 and SUPREME’s upgraded 1-Card-2-Number service, starting from a monthly fee of just $28, enables customers to use a mainland China phone number to send SMS and make calls to the mainland even while in Hong Kong.

The upgraded 1-card-2-number plan now offers a VoLTE HD voice experience as a new feature. The plan also comes with 20 minutes of free voice calls to mainland China every month. Furthermore, the new “dial number auto correct” function makes it simple and convenient to call mainland China mobile phone numbers or any Hong Kong mobile phone numbers in mainland China, without having to enter country or city codes.

3 and SUPREME have also launched a “number pairing”* service to help customers match a mainland China phone number with the same last four digits as their Hong Kong number. With this new feature, customers can easily share the last four digits of their mobile number for convenient use in mainland China, such as hailing a ride or booking a restaurant.

The 5G Data Roam-like-Home monthly plan starts from $158, including data of 30GB or more shared across mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau. Customers opting for the upgraded 1-Card-2-Number for 24 months can enjoy a 12-month service fee waiver, making it more convenient for them to travel in mainland China.

PropAccount.com Adds Equities to Its Multi-Asset Prop Firm Platform, Opening the Door to the World’s Largest Trading Market

Published

on

By

White-label prop firm operators can now offer equities alongside forex, futures, and crypto, all inside one tech stack, at no additional cost.

BOCA RATON, Fla., April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PropAccount.com, which is powered by FPFX Tech, and operates as the world’s largest white-label prop firm provider, has announced the addition of equities trading to its offering, bringing the world’s largest financial market within reach of every prop firm operator on its network.

With equities now supported inside the PropAccount.com ecosystem, white-label partners can offer equities trading challenges in single-session and swing-trading varieties.

One Platform. Four Asset Classes.

PropAccount.com is recognized as one of the prop trading industry’s most comprehensive infrastructure solutions, supporting forex, futures, and crypto across leading platforms, including DXtrade, Match-Trader, cTrader, Rithmic, and Tradovate. The addition of equities completes the grand slam of assets.

For existing PropAccount.com partners, equities trading slots directly into the same infrastructure that already handles trader onboarding, challenges, automated risk rules, account management, KYC, and payments. There is nothing new to configure, no new vendor to manage, and no new cost to absorb.

For new operators entering the industry, the launch path is equally direct. PropAccount’s white-label model allows operators to go live in as little as seven days, with equities available alongside the full suite of supported markets.

A Market Too Large to Ignore

According to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, U.S. equity market capitalization was at $68.2 trillion at year-end 2025, with daily trading volume averaging a record 18.6 billion shares. The numbers speak for themselves. Millions of traders worldwide focus on equities as a core part of their strategy, and the prop firm ecosystem has not offered this asset class – until now. PropAccount.com’s expansion into equities allows operators to reach this audience directly, building programs designed specifically for traders without fragmenting their existing infrastructure.

Wider Audience for Operators

For operators, the practical opportunity is audience expansion. Many equities traders have never engaged with a prop firm because no prop firm has spoken to them. Equities support on PropAccount.com changes that calculus, giving operators a direct path to a segment of the trading community that has largely been left out of the prop firm model.

The PropAccount platform handles risk monitoring, drawdown controls, scaling rules, automated payouts, trader dashboards, CRM, affiliate systems, and KYC: every operational layer required to run a professional prop firm. Adding a fourth asset class to that foundation required no new architecture. It was built to support it.

“Equities are the largest traded market in the world, and traders have been underserved by the retail prop industry for too long. Adding equities to our tech stack means our operators can now reach this audience directly with the equities they trade, without forcing them to adjust to equity CFDs.” – Justin Hertzberg, CEO of PropAccount.com

About PropAccount.com

PropAccount.com is the white-label prop firm infrastructure provider powered by FPFX Tech, the leader in prop trading technology. The platform enables entrepreneurs, trading educators, influencers, and IBs to launch fully branded prop firms in as little as seven days, using enterprise-grade technology covering trading platforms, risk tools, payments, KYC, affiliate systems, trader dashboards, and capital backing.

Health Karma Launches PersonalCare Bundles to Address America’s Underinsured Crisis, Unlocking Immediate Revenue Opportunity

Published

on

By

LEESBURG, Fla., April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Health Karma Inc., a leader in proactive well-being and behavioral health solutions, today announced the national rollout of its Health Karma PersonalCare™ Bundles, a new product line designed to meet the urgent healthcare access needs of millions of uninsured and underinsured Americans – particularly independent contractors, part-time, and hourly workers.

Developed over the past two years and fully integrated into Health Karma’s proprietary mobile platform, the PersonalCare Bundles represent a scalable, direct-to-consumer healthcare access solution that is already gaining rapid traction across broker networks nationwide.

A Massive, Underserved Market – The launch comes at a critical time in the U.S. healthcare landscape:

Nearly 23% of working-age adults are underinsured, facing high deductibles and out-of-pocket costsApproximately 24 million Americans remain completely uninsuredMillions more experience gaps in coverage annuallyAverage deductibles now exceed $4,000, with marketplace plans reaching as high as $7,400+

These realities leave a significant portion of the workforce, especially gig workers and part-time employees, effectively locked out of timely, affordable care.

“We Are Not Insurance — We Are Access”:

Health Karma’s PersonalCare Bundles are not insurance products. Instead, they provide immediate, affordable access to healthcare services through a simple, app-based experience. Users can connect 24/7 with licensed physicians, Master’s-level behavioral health clinicians, receive diagnoses, and obtain prescriptions often at zero out-of-pocket cost within hours. One early user shared their experience after enrolling through a broker partner: “I had a severe breakout and couldn’t reach my primary doctor. Through the app, I spoke with a physician within an hour, received a prescription, and paid $0 for both the consultation and medication. The entire process took less than two hours and solved my problem completely.”

Immediate Revenue, Proven Demand – Health Karma reports strong early validation of the product:

Zero pushback from broker distribution channelsInitial pilot groups saw 127 immediate sign-upsNationwide rollout underway through thousands of insurance brokers and independent agentsAll bundles, even the entry-level bundles, generate significant and sustainable recurring revenue for Health Karma

With a growing network of over 100 experienced brokers ready to deploy, the Company anticipates rapid expansion in the coming quarters.

Flexible Distribution Model – The PersonalCare Bundles are uniquely positioned for mass adoption:

Available direct-to-consumer without employer sponsorshipNo requirement for licensed insurance agents to sellEasily deployable for employers via simple group enrollment and monthly billingAccessible across mobile, tablet, and desktop, with a seamless app-based interface

Part of a Broader Growth Strategy – This launch complements Health Karma’s expanding footprint across multiple high-impact verticals, including:

UniversitiesHealthcare and health benefit providersJustice-Impacted Reentry ProgramsFirst Responders and VeteransNative American tribal healthcare programsWorkplace violence response programsWorkers’ compensation solutions

Technology-Driven Expansion:

To accelerate adoption, Health Karma is preparing a 90-day rollout strategy leveraging advanced AI, SEO, and targeted digital marketing to reach high-need populations such as small business owners, gig economy workers, and uninsured individuals.

Executive Commentary:

Travis H. Jackson, CEO of Health Karma, stated: “This is one of the most important products we’ve developed. It directly addresses a massive and growing gap in the U.S. healthcare system. The demand is immediate, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and the revenue potential is significant. We are moving aggressively to scale distribution and ensure this solution reaches the millions of people who need it most.”

About Health Karma Inc.

Health Karma Inc. delivers proactive well-being, behavioral health, and injury triage solutions through its innovative “1st Moment” model providing immediate, comprehensive support whenever and wherever individuals need care.
