Press Release Body = SWITCH-MOBILE LAUNCHES GLOBE DIALER IN SCANDINAVIA

NEW YORK - Dec 1, 2006 - Switch-Mobile, an innovator in VoIP international calling
service for mobile phone users, launched its pioneering service, including its Globe
DialerT software, in Scandinavia. "This expansion is in direct response to
increasing demand abroad for less costly international calling options for cell
phone users," says Chief Operating Officer Jenny Fielding.

Since launching in April 2006 in the United States, Switch-Mobile has seen its
business double virtually ever month. The company's patented Globe DialerT VoIP
service empower cell phone users to dial virtually any international telephone
number at rates drastically lower than those charged by cell phone service
providers, and traditional land line providers. Switch-Mobile's rates are
competitive with those touted by many calling cards, but without the need for users
to dial lengthy access codes or PIN numbers, the uncertainty of actual air time
available, and activation or maintenance fees. Further, Switch- Mobile bills by the
second, rather than in minute-based units charged by many other service providers.

Mobile phone users download the Globe DialerT software directly to their phones by
creating an account on the Globe Dialer Web site. Users then program international
numbers into Globe Dialer's address book and the software allows them to direct-dial
those numbers later at the touch of a button. The caller's existing cell phone plan
handles the domestic portion of the call, which can fall under the plan's free
minutes. Switch-Mobile bills the international portion of the call at its deeply
discounted rates - as little as 3.5 cents a minute to Argentina, 4 cents to China,
and 14 cents a minute to India.

Following the launch in Denmark, Switch-Mobile will expand its service throughout
Europe, moving next to England and Germany by the end of the year, Fielding says.
Expansion will continue at an estimated pace of three countries per month. The
service will function in Europe exactly as it does in the United States, with Web
site translations in multiple languages. However, Fielding anticipates the Globe
DialerT software will enjoy even greater compatibility with cell phones in Europe,
where the majority of cell phone service providers support Java and there is more
standardization in the phones themselves.

"Switch-Mobile's mission is to provide simple, convenient and affordable services to
mobile phone users," says Fielding. "Globe DialerT is the first product towards the
fulfillment of the company's objectives. Our service is a convenient, low-cost
alternative to calling cards or high international rates charged by cellular service
providers."

Based in New York City, Switch-Mobile is a privately held company founded by Jenny
Fielding, chief operating officer and legal advisor; Mikael Breinholst, chief
executive officer; and Sean Sealey, VP Technology. All three partners left
successful business endeavors to found Switch-Mobile after experiencing first- hand
the high cost of using cell phones for international calling. To learn more about
