Business Editors & Lifestyle Editors

LAKE FOREST, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 25, 2002

Internet Communications Technologies Inc., announced its campaign to introduce low-cost, live video communications to consumers via its proprietary software, ClearPhone.

Travel has become fraught with frustration amidst increased security efforts, so rather than risk losing face-to-face contact with loved ones, especially during the hectic holidays, consumers now have an inexpensive option to see each other.

Mike Hill, president and CEO said: "We've been marketing ClearPhone in the education market since 1997, and now the time is right for us to help the average person get more out of their computer and Internet experience. ClearPhone brings families and friends together.

"Not just audibly like a telephone, but visually as well. With the holidays approaching and travel becoming more difficult and frustrating, consumers will now be able to visit with loved ones, by seeing and hearing them on their computers. We expect ClearPhone to be a very hot gift this holiday season."

Because each user must have a copy of the software installed on their computer, ClearPhone comes bundled as a starter kit that includes two copies of the software, two free Web cameras and two free headsets for only $119.99.

Camron Bussard, chief marketing officer for ICT explained: "We want people to be able to purchase our software and immediately connect with a friend or family member. Packaging ClearPhone in sets of two allows buyers to keep one setup and pass the other copy on to a friend or family member. They can begin to see and hear each other right away, without having to wait for the other person to purchase the software themselves."

ClearPhone is video communications software for computers, connecting multiple users via the Internet. Because ClearPhone makes use of the Internet rather than phone lines, connecting is as easy as sending an e-mail. There are no set up fees, no monthly charges and no per-minute fees with ClearPhone. This makes it less expensive to use than a telephone, and it's better than a telephone because the users can see each other while talking.

Said Bussard: "We want everyone to have the opportunity to connect with their families and friends for the holidays through ClearPhone. Grandparents should be able to see their grandchildren open their presents. With ClearPhone, best friends can exchange holiday greetings when they can't meet in person. What better present can you give than the gift of being able to see and hear each other any time you want, from anywhere?"
