TalkFree to Exceed 1.5 Billion SIP Terminated Voice Minutes in 2010

SAN FRANCISCO - (Business Wire) TalkFree, a leading international VoIP and mobile VoIP carrier, recently surpassed 1.0 billion voice minutes and the numbers continue to grow. TalkFree is on a path to surpass 1.5 billion SIP terminated, paid voice minutes over its network in 2010.

Since launching its 1legcall and Zonefone mobile VoIP solutions in 2009, TalkFree's total voice minutes have grown by an average of 40 percent for five consecutive quarters, making it one of the fastest growing mobile VoIP companies in the world. TalkFree's mobile dialers are being downloaded all over the globe with heavy concentrations in the Middle East, Africa, Central American and South American markets.

TalkFree's unique preferred reseller program (PRP) and TFCash alternative payment method have helped to popularize its mobile VoIP dialers and to create a worldwide network of resellers that market and distribute its products. TalkFree's resellers primarily operate in emerging countries with sizable numbers of migrant workers looking for an affordable method of staying in touch with family and friends.

The last quarter of 2009

"In the last quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of this year we witnessed consecutive spikes in the number of downloads of our mobile VoIP dialers and traffic volume already was growing at a pace that required more investment to upgrade and expand our network," says Dave Rawlings, CEO of TalkFree.

TalkFree's strategic investment in mobile VoIP will continue through 2011 with further network expansion and upgrades, and a new dialer will be unveiled sometime in the first quarter.
