TelEvolution Announces PhoneGnome(TM) Worldwide VoIP Plug and Play Solution (26/7/2005)

Seamlessly Joins Voice Over IP With Customer's Existing Telephone Service

TelEvolution, developer of international VoIP solutions, today announced PhoneGnome(TM), a new worldwide voice technology product that seamlessly joins Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communications with a customer's existing Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) service, allowing consumers to make Internet calls and PSTN phone calls from the same phone. PhoneGnome(TM) combines the best of Voice-over-Internet (VoIP) systems with traditional phone service in a simple, affordable package for a one-time cost at purchase.

"PhoneGnome(TM) allows anyone with a phone line and a high-speed Internet connection to add VoIP 21st century capabilities and save money," said David Beckemeyer, CEO and founder of TelEvolution. "PhoneGnome(TM) provides an easy to use, uncomplicated method of making free Internet calls. There are no complicated dialing sequences, no hidden fees, no computer required or software to install."

PhoneGnome(TM) enables owners to make and receive both Internet and traditional calls using their existing broadband Internet connection and telephone service, with an ordinary telephone, dialing ordinary phone numbers. PhoneGnome(TM) owners maintain their existing phone number without any carrier switching problems. Directory assistance and 911 functions remain intact.

"PhoneGnome(TM) owners keep their existing phone number; they can call any other PhoneGnome(TM) in the world for free and they can dial any other phone in the world without PINs or access codes. Instead of switching to a new service, getting a new phone number, or transferring an existing number, PhoneGnome(TM) simply plugs in and automatically configures itself in minutes. PhoneGnome(TM) is fully plug and play.

PhoneGnome(TM) seamlessly ties together the PhoneGnome(TM) owner's existing home phone service and existing broadband Internet connection

With a one-time purchase, PhoneGnome(TM) owners immediately get three primary benefits:

1. FREE calling (real free calls, with no monthly service fee),

PhoneGnome(TM) owners dial traditional phone numbers with no pins or access codes.

Calls between PhoneGnome(TM) owners are free, including international calls. Phone numbers are not changed with PhoneGnome(TM).

Any phone number can be dialed with PhoneGnome(TM). If the call can be completed for free, it will be; otherwise PhoneGnome(TM) will use the existing landline service just as before.

2. Optional Use of Inexpensive Internet Calling Services for Calls to Traditional Phones:

PhoneGnome(TM) makes it easy for owners to choose a plan from the provider of their choice, by using the my.phonegnome.com website. Owners can elect to use a traditional provider for national long-distance, international calls, or both, or select separate providers and plans for each.

Once one activates the Internet calling feature, nothing special is required to place a call using that service. One simply dials a number with no pins or access codes required. If PhoneGnome(TM) can complete the call for free, it will, otherwise PhoneGnome(TM) will use the selected Internet calling service.

3. Advanced VoIP features, for VoIP and non-Internet calls.

PhoneGnome(TM) provides seven-digit dialing, call waiting, caller ID, emergency 911 pass-thru, three-way calling and speed dialing. It also provides advanced capabilities that one often cannot even get with traditional phone service. PhoneGnome(TM)'s design applies these features to traditional phone calls as well as VoIP calls. PhoneGnome(TM) can be purchased simply to be able to obtain a feature like voicemail-to-email for traditional phone service.

PhoneGnome(TM) owners have access to calling features from any Web connection through their own personal PhoneGnome(TM) Web Portal page. On-line features include:

* Online Phone Book * White Pages * Click-to-Dial * Voicemail to E-mail * Telemarketer Screening * Call Logs for Internet and non-Internet calls

PhoneGnome(TM) is built on standards, and is Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) compliant. PhoneGnome(TM) is compatible with other VoIP services that support the SIP standard. Calls made to and by VoIP services that support SIP can be called and received by PhoneGnome(TM) owners.

PhoneGnome(TM) provides a fully automatic, plug and play installation. No technical set-up or configuration is needed, and there is no disruption of phone services such as 911 or directory assistance. Getting started with PhoneGnome(TM) is uncomplicated, requiring a one time purchase of PhoneGnome(TM) with no subscription service or monthly fees.
