NEWARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 20, 2002

Net2Phone Inc. (Nasdaq:NTOP), the leading provider of Voice-over-IP (VoIP) services, today announced it is providing Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO) with the VoIP network and voice-hosting infrastructure used to offer the newly launched voice-activated dialing capabilities of the Yahoo!(R) Phone Card (http://phonecard.yahoo.com) service.

Yahoo! Phone Card users may now place domestic telephone calls to contacts in their Yahoo! Address Book (http://address.yahoo.com) by simply calling 800/44-YAHOO and either saying the recipient's name, e.g. "Call Joe's cell phone," or the recipient's number, e.g. "Call 212/555-1212." Calls are routed directly to the desired number via Net2Phone's managed IP network.

"We are thrilled to offer Yahoo! Phone Card consumers voice-activated dialing services through our relationship with Net2Phone," said Madhu Yarlagadda, director, Yahoo! Everywhere. "As part of our Yahoo! Everywhere voice and data strategy, we will continue to introduce new ways for people to access Yahoo!."

The Yahoo! Phone Card leverages Net2Phone's VoIP services to offer an inexpensive calling card with the value-added feature of voice-activated dialing. Calls within the United States will be $0.10 per minute with toll-free access, a savings of 35-50 percent compared with major traditional calling cards that offer little to no enhanced functionality.

"Convergence is here, as is evidenced by the merging of Internet information with the telephone," said Stephen Greenberg, CEO of Net2Phone. "Voice over IP is the perfect platform for enhanced services such as the voice-activated dialer, and we are excited about being at the forefront of this industry with compelling products and services."

The Yahoo! Phone Card allows consumers to use their Yahoo! Address Book from any U.S. location. The network-based platform is "device agnostic" and is therefore accessible from any landline or wireless phone in the country.

Offering such applications using Net2Phone's VoIP network and infrastructure significantly reduces expensive traditional telephone hardware requirements while providing Net2Phone with the ability to drive enhanced minutes over its network.

"Net2Phone is excited to be working with Yahoo! to provide Yahoo! Phone Card consumers with multiple telephony products to cater to their different needs," said Bryan Wiener, senior vice president and general manager of Net2Phone.

Yahoo! developed the voice-activated dialing application which interfaces with Net2Phone's platform using Voice XML markup language. Net2Phone uses voice browser technology supplied by HeyAnita.

Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
