Unprecedented Mobility Now Available Nationwide for Hosted Enhanced Calling Features, the Fastest Growing Sector of the Internet Market
Altamonte Springs, Fl, October 20, 2003 – Volo Communications and Galaxy Internet Services announced today a joint venture to bring enhanced calling services to Galaxy Internet customers nationwide, the fastest growing sector of the Internet.
In a combined effort to help consumers and business people reduce local and long distance phone bills, the two companies will offer unlimited local and long distance calling within the United States for $19.95 through VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services, bypassing traditional local telephone networks. This package bundles local and long distance phone services along with today’s most popular enhanced calling features all for a fee of $19.95 per month. Enhanced calling features include: Voicemail, Call Waiting, Call Forwarding, Caller ID, 3-Way Calling, Repeat Dialing, Call Transfer, Caller ID Block, and Virtual Phone Numbers. These services are accessible from a standard PC, telephone or IP phone over broadband or dial-up lines.
Shawn Lewis, President and CEO of Caerus, Inc., the developer of the network and technology utilized by its next gen service provider subsidiary, Volo Communications, predicts that this offering will have a significant impact on the consumer and business communications marketplace. “We are witnessing the evolution of phone service from number portability to service portability. Imagine – if you need to travel, you can now take your home or business phone with you, plug it into the Internet access port at a hotel, and it’s totally transparent to the rest of the world.”
Bob Carp, President of Galaxy Internet Services, agrees, “We are giving the consumer the ability to have a fully featured phone service from any location, at a price that will save them a small fortune over the number of years most people keep their residential, cell and business numbers.” Galaxy Internet Services, founded in 1995, has been a pioneer of low cost, high quality Internet services. “The ability to offer consumers an unlimited residential phone service for $19.95 introduces a whole new level of choice to the evolving telecom marketplace,” Mr. Carp said.
Galaxy customers will have full control over their choice of features, which can be easily changed as needed through a web-based interface. Customers will be able to perform online account management, including web-based Voicemail retrieval and view account

activity. Galaxy also allows customers to select their own area code or keep their current number, if they like.
“This offering will open up a whole new world of high quality convergent services for consumers and business alike,” Mr. Lewis added. “True convergence should apply to networks of all types – Internet, Intranets, Telephony, Cable and more - not just the technologies that provision them.”
