Phoenix, Ariz. and Seattle, Wash., April 26, 2000 – Totally free long distance calls are now possible with the announcement of an agreement between visitalk.com™, the global Internet phone company, and freeinternet.comSM, the nation’s leading free and anonymous Internet service provider. For the first time, there are no access charges, no Internet connection charges, and no per-minute charges for PC-to-PC voice, video and most PC-to-telephone calls placed anywhere in the world.

visitalk.com™ has offered free PC-to-PC calling for more than a year. However, many users still paid monthly Internet access charges of up to $20 per month. With the freei agreement, visitalk.com™ members can now make long distance calls totally free.

visitalk.com™ will be a core provider of voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) communications services for freei users. The comprehensive partnership will add visitalk.com™’s free PC-to-PC long distance voice and video calling, PC-to-phone calling in the U.S. and to some regions of the world, multi-point videoconferencing, data sharing, instant voice messaging, chat services and directory services to freei’s 100% free, unlimited Internet access service. Freei’s current services include email, instant messaging, chat, 50mb of online disk storage space, and a full, rich content portal. The agreement also includes distribution of visitalk.com™ client software bundled with freei CDs. Freei users can sign up for visitalk.com™ services at FREEi, where visitalk.com™ will be featured.

All new subscribers to visitalk.com™’s communications services also will be offered a free Labtec PC Voice Access* headset upon registration, a $20 value*.

"Truly free long distance is finally here, meaning no charges for Internet access and no charges for calls placed over the Internet to anywhere in the world," commented Michael O’Donnell, president, visitalk.com™. "Our global calling, voice messaging and member directory services give freei’s new and existing users a compelling reason to keep using their service and offer a convenient way to contact friends, families or business colleagues."

Freei’s president and CEO Bob McCausland concurs. "Freeinternet.com has just become more valuable to its users. Now, in addition to saving up to $250 a year on connection costs, freei users can make free long distance phone calls. Our intention is to become a one-stop communications shop for our consumers."

The companies also will work together on joint advertising programs, including print and online advertising, the creation of a communication channel on freei’s front page, and user newsletters with how-to information.
