BellSouth is a great company, with exceptional service, and we're honored to have entered into an agreement with them. This accord complements powerfully our ability to resell Sprint ISDN long-distance, and rounds out our comprehensive ISDN service offering."

Mr. Rosov went on to say "this agreement allows us to offer anyone in the BellSouth region super low-cost ISDN. ISDN usually costs about two hundred dollars ($200) to install, with a monthly fee of about ninety-six dollars ($96). We're providing our customers - anyone who wants to sign up for ISDN service anywhere in the nine-state BellSouth region - with a ZERO-cost installation, and only sixty-nine dollars per month. Even more attractive, with this low monthly fee, every customer receives 9,600 FREE minutes PER MONTH for local videocalling - and high-speed Internet access. This represents a staggering 82.5% value in savings over existing other Bell Companies' competitive fees. Equally important, you can use the ISDN line for `regular' phone calls and fax service - so it's virtually the same cost as an ordinary telephone line. In fact, an existing phone line can be converted to an ISDN service."

Michael Zwebner, Talk Visual's Chairman, said today "this excellent accord with BellSouth's business division rounds out our comprehensive ISDN offering. Now we can provide low-cost local ISDN, low-cost long-distance ISDN, and low-cost international ISDN. We will become a major provider of ISDN services worldwide - an important part of our domestic and international service offerings. With the RADVision IP/ISDN bridging service, the new video-users website, our private labeled TV225 videocall appliance, and worldwide ISDN capability, the Company is maintaining its international leadership in videocalling and videoconferencing A real time video session between two or more users or between two or more locations. Although the first videoconferencing was done with traditional analog TV and satellites, inhouse room systems became popular in the early 1980s after Compression Labs pioneered digitized video systems  capability."

"In fact," continued Mr. Zwebner, "9,600 free monthly minutes of our BellSouth 128K ISDN service allows any of our participating customers high-speed Internet connection, or full-motion local videocalls, for an impressive seven hours per day, every business day of the month - at no additional charge. It's a remarkable service offering."

As announced yesterday, the Company's new sign-up website service is completely FREE, and is available to public videocall rooms, private and public corporations, and individuals worldwide. The service can be accessed at www.videocallme.com.
