XFONE's Israel '018' Selected as Exclusive International Long
Distance Provider at Israel's New Passenger Terminal at Ben Gurion
Airport Exclusive Agreement Signed Between XFONE Communication Ltd.
and an Authorized Contractor for the Israeli Airport Authority
Makes '018' Default International Long Distance Carrier for Airport
Pay Phones; LONDON and TEL AVIV, Israel, March 14
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- XFONE Communication Ltd., the majority
owned Israel-based subsidiary of XFONE, Inc. (OTC:XFNE) (BULLETIN
BOARD: XFNE) , today reported that it has signed an agreement with
an authorized contractor of the Israeli Airport Authority ("IAA")
giving XFONE Communication the exclusive right to provide
international long distance calling services at Ben Gurion
Airport's new passenger terminal, which is the main active terminal
for international flights in Israel. In 2004, over 7.5 million
international passengers flew in and out of the Tel Aviv's Ben
Gurion Airport, Israel's largest international airport. As a result
of this exclusive agreement, all pay phones located in the new
passenger terminal will automatically default to XFONE
Communication's '018' system for all international long distance
phone calls. Further, XFONE Communication has been granted the
exclusive right to market and sell international long distance
calling cards through vending machines, which are situated in
high-traffic areas throughout the terminal, thereby offering a wide
range of prepaid international long distance calling cards to
international travelers. Rafi Dick, Managing Director of XFONE
Communication, noted, "This is an enormous step forward for XFONE
Communication and its '018' international long distance calling
service. Aside from the revenue opportunity that this agreement
represents for us, we believe that the marketing exposure we will
receive will be enormous. Being selected to serve the international
long distance calling need for the millions of international
travelers that pass each year through Israel's largest airport is a
strong endorsement of '018' and the numerous benefits our services
offer." About '018' Offered at a price per minute that is sometimes
as much as 50% less than the most competitive carrier in Israel,
XFONE Communication's '018' is fast becoming one of the preferred
long distance calling services. XFONE Communication also permits
users to predetermine the cost per minute by dialing "01800".
Moreover, XFONE Communication has established a state-of-the- art
web site, found at http://www.018.co.il/ , where users may also
access "real time" detailed information relative to pricing, full
service offerings, and general information regarding system use.
There are only six companies who have been granted international
long distance carrier licenses in the State of Israel. About XFONE,
