deltathree and Panasonic announced that joip will be the exclusive VoIP service provider for Panasonic's GLOBARANGE series of hybrid 2-line cordless phones. Through joip's VoIP offering and Panasonic's consumer electronics expertise, the two companies aim to create a global community by providing free calling between joip-enabled GLOBARANGE phones in all regions of the world. A webcast detailing joip's innovative service will be held today, March 13, 2007, at 1:00 P.M. Eastern Time at the investor relations page of deltathree's corporate website.

GLOBARANGE phones are hybrid 2-line 5.8GHz and DECT cordless phones, supporting both landline and joip-powered VoIP services. The phones allow calls to be made and received via both the VoIP line and a regular landline connection from any of its expandable cordless handsets. This innovative phone provides a solution for consumers who want to enjoy the best of both worlds: the traditional landline phone and VoIP. Consumers can maximize the benefits of VoIP service, including free and low-cost calls as well as advanced features, without the hassle of being tied to a computer or the need for an external adaptor. At the same time, they maintain their current landline service and traditional phone user experience.

joip will power VoIP capability for GLOBARANGE phones without any software downloads or complicated setup procedures. With joip, GLOBARANGE users are given unlimited free calls to and from any other GLOBARANGE user worldwide with no service contract. The only requirement is broadband Internet connection through a router. joip also allows GLOBARANGE users to make calls to landline and cellular phone numbers at extremely competitive rates, while enjoying the most advanced features of VoIP technology.

GLOBARANGE phones feature Call Waiting, Caller ID, handset speakerphones, handset expandability, a large, easy-to-read three-line backlit LCD, and a tri-color incoming call-status indicator light. GLOBARANGE phones will be available this summer.
