I-Link Delivers Unified, Unlimited Communications Power to Any Phone or Web Kiosk; V-Link 3.0 Changes the Way People Communicate -- Streamlines and Centralizes Voice and Data.

DRAPER, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 26, 1999--

A new telephony service, announced today by I-Link (Nasdaq:ILNK), allows business and home users to centralize all of their voice/data communications using one telephone number. At the same time, they can add features such as unified messaging and fax on demand. Road warriors no longer have to worry about being away from the office, they can receive a fax, e-mail or voicemail at any phone or even at a Web kiosk at the airport. An executive sitting in a meeting or on an important call can have their cell phone "whisper" in their ear the name of a caller, so they know if they need to take the call. This service, called V-Link 3.0, is designed to increase both reliability and control of communications.

V-Link 3.0 connects cell phones, pagers, landlines, fax machines and email in one system. Executives can give out one number and be reached anywhere. A caller simply dials the one number and V-Link automatically dials numerous "follow me" numbers to reach a user. Every V-Link caller is identified so that a busy executive can prioritize calls. At the same time, the V-Link customer can use any phone to reach their voicemail, email and faxes. They can also retrieve all of these communications via the Internet. Over 65,000 customers are already using V-Link 3.0 via beta trials. Future enhancements will include video on demand for enhancing teleconferencing with multimedia.

Every consumer is familiar with the phone. With V-Link 3.0 both customers and callers can use enhanced services as easily as they use a traditional phone. The system bundles enhanced services like boomerang calling and unified messaging into this tried and true communications device so anyone can benefit from new telephony services.

"V-Link is changing the way people communicate," said John Edwards, CEO of I-Link. "Any phone or computer in the world can now act as your personal communication system, making work and home accessible no matter where you are and what you're doing. At the same time the latest and greatest technologies are included and easy to use."

I-Link offers a full range of additional enhanced phone services today including: one-number call routing, caller screening, unified voice fax, pager and e-mail messaging, voice-and fax-on-demand, conference calling. V-Link 3.0 offers a wide range of services including:

--A one number "follow-me service" that lets callers reach a V-Link subscriber anywhere with just one phone number. In one-step V-Link automatically dials numerous follow me numbers and a pager. Anyone can connect instantly to V-Link users no matter where they are -- in the office, at home, or on the road;

--Boomerang calling: V-Link users can dial out to a caller while in voicemail to respond to a message left. After completing the call they can instantly return to their messages. Checking voicemail and responding to calls from a car is now easy and safe. Usually when driving, you can't call someone back if you don't know their number and if you are able to call out, you then have to place another call to get back into your voicemail. V-Link allows you to do everything just by dialing into your one number;

--Prioritize and screen incoming calls to accept certain calls and forward-unwanted callers automatically to a voicemail or another person;

--Enhanced conference calling on the fly: V-Link subscribers can initiate a conference call from any phone, anywhere and connect to nine people. At the same time, they have access to all their additional enhanced services and an unlimited number of incoming calls. All of this can be done for a much lower cost than traditional phone systems and at the same time there are no associated hardware costs;

--A Web browser tool for organizing communications and accessing voice, fax and email enables V-Link users to access their system from any computer or Web kiosk;

--Personal voice on demand that allows callers to access the V-Link user's pre-recorded menu of up to 90 messages. Fax on demand: anyone can call a subscriber's V-Link number and retrieve a fax back document;

--Long distance calling packages starting at $9.95. Music on hold.
