Press Release Summary: What used to cost dollars a minute in international calling
from a cell phone now cost 90% less and is making waves in the technology world.

Press Release Body: I think we all know the thought process that overwhelms us when
it comes to thinking of dialing an international phone number from a cell phone.
MONEY. MONEY. MONEY. So much so, we don\'t dare use our cell phones ever for an
international call.

The expensive trend in international calling from a cell phone to date has been
unchallenged and allowed to flourish leaving businesses and consumers confined to
the land line phones of yesterday to avoid the outrageous cost of cell phone rates.

Dollars a minute can easily add up to thousands per bill with just a few short
calls. Additionally with traditional international calling, phone call quality can
be diluted by analog equipment overseas causing an overall poor communication
experience along with heart ache of saying goodbye to your precious hard earned
money..

Finally a solution for the common man and the budget conscious business has come to
the rescue of those desiring to do international calling from their cell phones.
With advancements in telephony technology a company has pioneered a new way to offer
cell phone users an effortless method of making international long distance calls
while giving quality digital voice communications over the phone.

Changing a wireless carrier would be what many would think you would have to do, but
no, there is no need to change carriers or cell phones with this new international
calling solution. The solution comes in the form of an easy software download that
automatically installs and handles all dialed international calls for the caller
without having to dial multiple numbers like that from a calling card or dial
around. The need to be around a wi-fi hot spot has been eliminated as well, giving
everyone an effortless experience and saving a lot of money.

What does the software do you might ask? The new software does something very
simple, actually so simple, you would swear you had thought of it yourself. When you
dial an international phone number from your cell phone this software automatically
switches into action and routes your call to a VoIP provider on a digital quality
line which then sends the call on through to your destination. You actually enjoy
crystal clear clarity on your international calls without having to have gone
through any extra steps. The even better part of everything is this service to date
works with over 400 different cell phone models so chances are you are in possession
of a compatible phone for the service already.

So who is this VoIP provider bringing in the reign of technology into the hands of
today\'s modern cell phone users? The company is 8X8 or also known as Packet8.
Packet8 (Nasdaq: EGHT) has been in the telecommunications business for 20 years and
is the holder of 68 patents for VoIP technologies.

So basically, thanks to Packet8, we can now all make cell phone calls to
international destinations without the worry or quality issues that plagued us all.
Some of the pricing you can expect to see in this new service technology is calls to
China for .03 cents a minute, the UK for .02 cents per minute, and Mexico for .03
cents per minute.

As of now Packet8 charges about $10.00 per active account a month and the set up
cost is about the same so expect a $20.00 bill the first time around, but if you
make a lot of international calls and you use your cell phone a lot, you can see
what is the future of international cell phone calling.
