Continued Technology Expansion Offers Customers No-Cost International Calling

SPRING HILL, FL - September 05, 2005 -- SkyNET TeleSystems, a leading pioneer in common-use VoIP voice and data provisioning, today announced another major expansion of its standard calling territories translating into a major cost-saving for its customers using its VoIP voice technology to make local & long distance calls. Since the introduction of SkyNET's Unlimited Access & 1˘ calling plans, which allowed existing and new customers to call anywhere in the continental U.S., China, Canada, Puerto Rico, Russia, and major European cities for no additional costs, SkyNET has once again broken down additional country borders by increasing the list of its "local" calling areas.

SkyNET credits its advancement to their proprietary systems applied to the Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, for this expansion of its most basic calling territories. SkyNET customers can 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.

"As promised, SkyNET continues to break the barriers of local and long distance calling and data transfer", comments Diane Hitchens, SkyNET's CEO. "We continue to lead the way in VoIP diversity as well as this technology's application for residential and small to medium-sized businesses." Hitchens promises more technological releases for use in calling this expanded "local" territory to be announced shortly.

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 U.S. Now, with the introduction of the SkyNET Unlimited Access, 1˘ and SkyNET Global plans, earlier subscribers of their former $39.99 through $69.99 plans can now opt for a plan that is tailored towards their individual needs. Here's how it works. Let's say you are a current subscriber of the SkyNET $19.99 plan that offered 360 minutes of domestic U.S. calling time at 5.5˘ per minute, but you have family in another state and you want to talk more. With a change in the amount you pay of $4.00 more, you can now call your family and talk as much as you want on the Unlimited Access Plan.

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.
