Kick-Off to Feature NIS 3.5M Marketing Campaign PETACH TIKVA, Israel, May 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Internet Gold, (Nasdaq NMS: IGLD and TASE: IGLD) today announced that its subsidiary, 012 Smile.Communications, will launch its nationwide VOB (Voice Over Broadband) domestic telephony marketing campaign. 012 Smile.Communications is the first Israeli ISP to enter the local telephony market which is valued at more than $1 billion per year. The launch of the new service follows the success of field trials during which the 012 Smile.Communications attracted more than 16,000 subscribers without almost any marketing. Having recently become the first ISP to receive a permanent unlimited VOB license, the 012 Smile.Communications is now ready to extend the service. With the goal of quickly establishing a strong market share, the Company has prepared a NIS 3.5 million promotional campaign and has strengthened its customer and technological support capabilities. Branded as "072", 012 Smile.Communications will differentiate this service by offering a broad range of cost-effective features. With no fixed charges, free calling between 072 subscribers, the market's lowest per-minute tariffs, and a variety of free digital services (voice mail, caller-ID, call waiting, smart call filtering, smart call follow-me, Internet-based profile management, etc.), it is expected that use of the service will save average subscribers hundreds of shekels per year compared to their current domestic telephony subscription plans. "We are excited to bring a new era of domestic telephony services to the Israeli consumer," said Ms. Stella Handler, CEO of 012 Smile.Communications. "Recognizing the opportunity, over the past few years, we have invested more than NIS 30 million in VOB technology and field trials. As a result, we are now ready to bring a new level of domestic telephony services into the Israeli market - services that bring consumers the highest value as well as the highest quality available anywhere. We are confident that consumer response will be positive, enabling us to establish a strong presence in this huge new market for us."
