i2Telecom and Xiocom Enter into
Definitive Memorandum of Understanding to Expand Product and Distribution
of Global Broadband Services
Leading technology and operations
company with an emphasis on delivering broadband services to customers
worldwide selects i2Telecom's MyGlobalTalk(TM) to extend mobile VoIP solutions
to its international partners and operators.
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS
WIRE)--i2Telecom International, Inc. ("i2Telecom®") (OTCBB: ITUI),
a developer of award-winning patented and innovative high-quality Voice-over-Internet
Protocol ("VoIP") products and services, today announced that Xiocom Wireless,
Inc., a leading global wireless broadband technology and operations company,
has signed an agreement to utilize i2Telecom’s Voice over Internet Protocol
(VoIP) products to supplement and expand its current service offerings
to carriers and network operators worldwide.
MyGlobalTalk™, i2Telecom’s
internally developed patent-pending technology, is a new and advanced mobile
VoIP application that targets the wireless handset market. MyGlobalTalk™
places Internet telephony in the hands of every cellular phone user, independent
of wireless carrier technology, handset manufacturer, or the type of wireless
carrier voice/data plan involved. The objective is to enable mobile users
to access low-cost Internet telephony communications in a completely “untethered”
manner via their MyGlobalTalk™-enabled cellular phones. Once MyGlobalTalk™
software is installed on cellular handsets, users are able to call any
telephone in the world directly from their cellular phones, using VoIP
technology, at a fraction of normal long-distance rates. In addition, MyGlobalTalk™
is fully functional without local access to the Internet or proximity to
an Internet “hotspot”. Users also need not wait for the availability of
dual-mode WiFi phones, because MyGlobalTalk™ provides the benefits of dual-mode
phones at a fraction of the cost using customers’ existing mobile handsets.
“We are pleased to have
been selected by Xiocom as a key Mobile VoIP partner in these rapidly developing
regions of the world,” stated Paul Arena, Chief Executive Officer of i2
Telecom International, Inc. “We believe that our ongoing success in the
international marketplace reflects not only the fundamental economic benefits
of Mobile VoIP, but also the added value of our intellectual property in
the unified communications space. Working with such leading telecommunications
providers as Xiocom in South America, Central Asia and Africa, we are providing
significant cost savings and improving communications capabilities among
the customers and employees of organizations around the world.”
“We selected i2Telecom
because of the ease of use and advanced features of MyGlobalTalk™, the
company’s ability to provide the type of service required in remote areas
of the countries we serve, and its excellent reputation for delivering
quality low-cost portable communications,” stated Jeff Spence, Chief Executive
Officer of Xiocom. “i2Telecom’s products are very easy to deploy and an
ideal complement to the services Xiocom currently provides to partners
and operators in the emerging markets.”
Businesses and consumers
can substantially reduce long-distance and international telecommunication
costs by utilizing i2 Telecom’s easy-to-deploy VoIP solutions that seamlessly
interface with existing telephone systems.
MyGlobalTalk™, when combined
with the i2Telecom services network, allows users to access, through their
mobile handheld devices, the cost benefits and features that the Internet
delivers to the computer. The current Mobile VoIP Beta Version 2.0 provides
low-cost access to both international and domestic telephone networks.
Future releases will include speed dial and access to enterprise VoIP-enabled
communication products currently available from such companies as Microsoft,
Nortel, Avaya, Cisco, Vertical, and Mitel.
MyGlobalTalk™ is being
released in phases, having commenced in the first quarter of 2008 to customers
in the United States and the United Kingdom with SmartPhone handsets that
utilize the Windows Mobile® 5.0/6.0 operating system. Accompanying
the release of the MyGlobalTalk™ mobile application is a MyGlobalTalk™
branded web site. Subsequent releases will be available worldwide and will
include support for Blackberry, iPhone and Symbian enabled handsets, while
adding new features specifically designed with the mobile handset user
in mind. For additional information please visit www.myglobaltalk.com

 |
The patented VoiceStick™ device enables any telephone or business
phone system (PBX) to access our global network and advanced routing technologies
to complete most of the call over the Internet, paying only for the last
leg of the connection. |
MyGlobalTalk™ (U.S. Patent Pending:
60/014,324) is an Internet Gateway for Cellular Phones that obviates the
need for WiFi phones and obviates the need for Internet Hotspots. Once
MyGlobalTalk is installed on cellular handsets the users are able to call
any telephone in the world directly from their cellular phones using VoIP
technology, at a fraction of normal long-distance rates. MyGlobalTalk does
not require carriers to participate and as a Global Calling Service, is
as low as 2¢/minute on cell phones. MyGlobalTalk is a FREE SERVICE
with NO CONTRACTS, NO MONTHLY MINIMUMS and NO CONNECTION FEES and is poised
to grow rapidly as more users sign onto this low-cost and reliable service
for worldwide calling.
MyGlobalTalk™ (www.myglobaltalk.com),
was just awarded Internet Telephony Magazine’s “Product of the Year 2007”
and Unified Communications® Magazine 2007 “Product of the Year Award”.
MyGlobalTalk™ leverages i2Telecom’s® patented technology and previous
Internet Telephony Magazine awards for “Product of the Year 2004” and “VoIP
Service Provider of the Year 2005”. In an industry “first”, MyGlobalTalk™
places Internet telephony in the hands of every cell phone user, independent
of wireless carrier technology, handset manufacturer or the type of wireless
carrier voice/data plan involved. In addition, MyGlobalTalk™ is fully functional
without local access to the Internet or proximity to an Internet “hotspot”.
Users also need not wait for the availability of a dual-mode WiFi phone,
because MyGlobalTalk™ provides the benefits of a dual-mode phone at a fraction
of the cost using the customer’s existing mobile handset.
MyGlobalTalk™ itself is a patent-pending
proprietary software application developed by i2Telecom International,
Inc., a leader in innovative VOIP products and services. It is a new class
of mobile application intended to run on the user’s cell phone and automatically
route calls over i2Telecom’s VOIP network.
Your MyGlobalTalk™ phone number
follows you around the world – whether you carry the cell phone with you
or you forward your MyGlobalTalk™ number to any other number in the world
thru its Global Call Forwarding feature. And the best part is . . . it’s
so ridiculously inexpensive! MyGlobalTalk™ allows the user to call around
the world, as often as they wish, for as low a price as 2 cents per minute!
One of the unique features of MyGlobalTalk™ relates to how the service
takes advantage of the particular custom features offered by specific wireless
carriers. While MyGlobalTalk™ offers customers significant cost savings
and is very easy to use, there are a number of carriers with certain branded
features that, when coupled with MyGlobalTalk™, can substantially reduce
the cost of these cellular plans.
For example:
- T-Mobile: myFaves™
- Sprint: Sprint-to-Home™
- AllTel: myCircle™
- Select UK, European, Asian, S. American, and N. American (non-US) Wireless
Carriers
These carriers, through their unique branded features, allow MyGlobalTalk™
users to designate their MyGlobalTalk™ phone number as their “home” number.
T-Mobile’s myFaves,™ for example, allows users to designate up to five
(5) “favorite” numbers, while Sprint’s Sprint-to-Home™ allows users to
designate a single number, and AllTel’s myCircle™ lets users designate
up to ten (10) numbers. In each case, if MyGlobalTalk™ users designate
their MyGlobalTalk™ phone number as one of the designated numbers, then
every time the user dials using the MyGlobalTalk™ application, the call
does not subtract minutes from the cell phone calling plan. However, there
is still a charge for calls over the MyGlobalTalk network for domestic
calls of about 2 cents per minute, but this is still substantially less
than any plan currently being offered by any of the major carriers. The
savings for business travelers, students, military users, ex-patriates,
etc. who need to make frequent international calls, can be very substantial.
With MyGlobalTalk™, these users can complete these calls from their mobile
handsets without being charged exorbitantly high per minute fees. By enabling
the MyGlobalTalk™ feature for all international calls plus domestic calls,
or selecting the “All Calls” option, all of the user’s calls can be completed
without ever using the user’s cellular calling plan minutes. This will
allow users to sign up for the minimum-cost plans offered by wireless carriers
(typically around $40 - $50 a month) and yet still be able to make an unlimited
number of international and domestic long-distance calls. MetroPCS has
unlimited local plans for as little as $29 per month.
MyGlobalTalk™ is simple to use and,
once activated, requires no further adjustments. The Download and Setup
process utilizes standard SMS text messaging for acquiring the application
and occurs automatically once the user completes the sign up process. The
user simply signs up for the service and an SMS message is automatically
sent to their cell phone along with the application download link within
the body of the SMS message.
To use the MyGlobalTalk™ service,
users simply dial as normal; the MyGlobalTalk™ application determines the
proper call routing based on the set-up options. In addition, MyGlobalTalk™
permits three methods of dialing: 1) Keypad, 2) Contacts, and 3) Call History.
In each case, the application analyzes the number being dialed and routes
it according to the user’s set up parameters. The MyGlobalTalk™ application
also remembers its users, and whenever an update, new feature, or newer
version of the application becomes available, the user will receive a notification
on their handset with instructions on how to acquire the updates. All updates
and the initial MyGlobalTalk™ mobile application are FREE and available
to the users, regardless of which carrier they use as their wireless service
provider.
