FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
SkyNET Announces Launch of its Retail
Program
VoIP Technology Expansion Offers Customers No-Cost International
Calling
An approved merchant, under SkyNET's Retail Program, becomes an agent reselling
SkyNET's services. Agents will receive a commission for each new sale and a
residual income based on the new subscriber's continuing service.
The push into the
retail arena will allow for a measured growth of the SkyNET brand. Only
approved and properly trained merchants will be allowed to represent SkyNET and
to offer the SkyNET Calling Plans.
A major plus in
SkyNET's new offerings are the Personal 800 and Vanity 800 numbers. A SkyNET
customer can have their own 800 number that will ring to his/her SkyNET account
phone number. Since this number could be a cell phone number, the SkyNET member
can now be reached anywhere!
With the introduction of SkyNET's Unlimited
Access, 1¢ and Global Calling Plans, existing and new customers can now call
China, Canada, Puerto Rico, Russia, and major European cities, in addition, to
anywhere in the continental U.S., for no additional costs. Specifically, with
the SkyNET Unlimited Access or 1¢ service, callers can call the following
cities & countries without any extra toll charges:
Continental U.S., plus the following extended calling areas:
Puerto Rico
Moscow, Russia
Canada and the Northwest Territories
London, England
Paris, France
Rome, Italy
Barcelona, Spain
Cologne, Germany
Hong Kong
Callers can also call anywhere else in the world for rates that are very
competitive.

SkyNET credits its advancement of its Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, for
this expansion of its most basic calling territories. SkyNET customers utilize
this revolutionary VoIP technology without the need for the hi-speed Internet
connection required by other VoIP providers. SkyNET's service can be used from
any phone, whether a landline or a cell phone.
"With this breakthrough, our customers can now call five continents for
the same money they paid to call only within the U.S. just months ago. Imagine
calling London, England for the same price you pay to call Chicago; San Juan,
Puerto Rico for the same price as calling Los Angeles; Hong Kong for the same
price as calling your State capitol. SkyNET has truly become the next
generational long distance provider", comments Diane Hitchens, SkyNET's
CEO. "We have severely altered the way people will use their telephones.
And that's just the beginning. We will continue breaking down the borders for
our customers as we expand our technology to allow more and more off-shore
calling, as part of our basic monthly calling plans."
Up until now, SkyNET offered five calling options for monthly subscribers,
plans ranging from $19.99 to $69.99 with rates from 5.5¢ per minute to 4.3¢,
but good only for calls terminating in the continental
Another option for those not using the phone as much, SkyNET has a 1¢
per-minute plan. For $4.99 per month, all calls within the same
"local" calling area offered callers of their Unlimited Plan, all
calls are billed at a penny a minute, plus 19¢ to connect. A
"Pay-As-You-Go" plan.
