VocalTec to Launch magicTalk on Christmas

Free telephone calls and the best voice quality in the business are an unbeatable combination for consumers and business

Try it and you may never use Skype or Google Voice again

West Palm Beach, FL, and Netanya, Israel – Dec. 22, 2010 – VocalTec Communications Ltd. (Nasdaq symbol: CALL), the company that invented voice over IP (VoIP) and sold over seven million magicJacks®, will introduce a free version of its popular telephone service on December 25th to users worldwide.  To make your first free call within seconds, go to http://www.magictalk.com/. magicTalkTM enables everybody (including companies) anywhere in the world to call numbers in the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, as well as all other magicTalk and magicJack numbers in the world, for free. magicTalk users may also receive a free phone number. magicTalk can be used anywhere in the world, is very simple for anybody to install within 60 seconds, and offers the best voice quality we have ever heard.

If you never want to get a phone bill anymore, or you think Skype is too expensive with poor voice quality, or you have found that Google Voice does not measure up to Google Search, we invite you to try magicTalk (from the voice experts). In addition to the best voice experience available today, magicTalk may include a free phone number, voice mail, directory assistance, call waiting, caller ID and customer care. Instead of plugging in a traditional phone, magicTalk users communicate over their computer mic and speakers or by using wired headphones or wireless headsets (an increasingly common practice with smartphones, iPhones® and computers for talking, gaming and enjoying music and other media).

magicTalk is available for Beta download today at http://www.magictalk.com/. The company expects millions of downloads within 90 days of launch.  A recent third party review of magicTalk is available at http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/rich-tehrani/ip-communications/magictalk-from-magicjack-to-release-this-week.html.
