Paul Posner (President/CEO)

Paul Posner is CEO and owner of Pocket. He is an industry veteran, with more than twenty years of telecom experience. Prior to Pocket Posner ran San Antonio’s Discount Cellular and Paging chain, ultimately building it into one of the country’s biggest Southwestern Bell Mobile Systems dealers. Posner launched Pocket in May of 2006 with his own money, after deciding he could build a better network and offer better customer service.

In less than a year after its launch, Pocket’s performance far exceeded expectations. In just over six months, the company had established more than 120 retail locations with 450 employees to serve customers, opened a new headquarters in San Antonio and expanded its market into South Texas. Posner is also creator and founder of Houdinisoft, a simple and inexpensive software tool that unlocks cell phones and then reconfigures them with system settings of another service provider. Posner’s belief is that customers should have access to low cost, high quality wireless phone service that comes without fluctuating rates, hidden fees, contracts, or frustrating service agreements. He currently resides in San Antonio with his family.
