Dial Digital and TEK DigiTel Develop Advanced Internet Voice/Fax Service Packages 

 

VANCOUVER, CANADA - March 27, 2000    Dial Digital Inc. today announced their intention to offer Internet Telephony and advanced voice/fax services to small and medium-sized business customers.  With this announcement Dial Digital joins the list of service providers who are helping their business customers reduce and/or eliminate long distance phone and fax costs using the TEK DigiTel Corp. (OTC-BB:TEKIE) solution.

 

Dial Digital’s voice/fax hardware and services solutions are available now, with additional advanced service packages currently under development by the two companies.  These services are being developed not only to provide users with reduced cost long distance rates to conventional phone users located across Europe, Asia, North America and the rest of the world, but also to enable advanced multimedia communications services such as Unified Messaging, Fax-to-email and PC-to-Phone services. The service will also offer customers free phone calls between locations subscribing to the service.

 

"We are excited about our partnership with Dial Digital", says Rocco DiCarlo, president of TEK DigiTel Corporation. "We believe the market for Internet Telephony services is enormous and that Dial Digital has the focus, experience and skill set to make the service a success."

 

“In two years of VoIP market involvement, we have now found the best solution to our global customers’ needs for voice and fax over the Internet”, says Rob Campbell, President of Dial Digital.  “With TEK DigiTel's leading-edge technology and their in-depth expertise, these solutions for bundled services (hardware and network) have been quickly realized.

 

The complement of service packages will be launched in the second quarter of this year and will be marketed directly through Reseller Partners.
