"Allows Very Low International Rates, Anywhere, Anytime, Using Any Phone" -- Chantilly, VA (USA) – May 15, 2008

To make sure that end-users of Intercel Telecom Group’s VoIP technology can, as ITG Chairman put it, "make inexpensive calls form anywhere, anytime, using their own phones or ours", ITG announced the addition of UDial and DDial to its product suite.

"Udial" allows a user to call an access number which in turn then sends back a dial tone, from which calls are made at low per-minute rates. "DDial" provides a direct dial tone from which to make calls.

ITG Vice President David Wells described the differences - -"DDial of course is more convenient because the user need not await receipt of a dial tone, but cannot be made available in all markets, and in some markets, since there is a nominal connection charge, UDial offers even better savings than DDial."

"Our Intercel On-Line website makes it easy for a user to select. And we encourage users to compare against other available rates - - we have done it and across the board, we are the universal low-cost provider", Wells added.

The UDial and DDial programs are fully presented on the Intercel On-Line website: www.intercelonline.com

Intercel Telecoms Group, Inc. ("ITG") of Chantilly, VA (USA) the quiet behind-the-scenes wholesaler of VoIP technology whose system spans five continents, has now become entrenched in the Eastern Caribbean.

Through its affiliated Virtual Network Operators "on the ground," ITG offers the lowest available international rates and several low-cost plans, as low as $2.99 a month. ITG founder and chairman, Joseph F. Gatt, views it only as a foreshadowing of the inevitable.

"When an established and proven technology can be brought to society at a fraction of current cell phone or land line cost, it will happen because the people will demand it. I have participated for decades in the transformation of telephone technology toward ever-decreasing costs and ever-increasing services. This is nothing more than technological progress, and we are excited to offer it where it is allowed."

The Intercel services include "DDial," direct access to a dial tone for low-cost calls worldwide, and "UDial," a call-back program where the access number return a dial tone. These may be used with any phone, but Intercel offers other plans using its equipment for maximum quality and reliability.

Gatt expounded, "the trick is to make sure you can give each customer what works for that customer. We have several plans geared to do just that, and more on the way."

Then Gatt acknowledged, "for us it’s pretty easy. We made sure to first establish a failsafe technology so now, we can leave it to our VNOs – the real marketers of VoIP – to establish and grow their customer bases. If you know how to market a good product, the sky’s the limit on your earnings potential, and we make it happen behind the curtain with what we already have in place."
