Net2Phone Gives Free Love on Valentine's Day
Make flowers a thing of the past with new free domestic calling on Valentine's Day

Hackensack, NJ - February 3, 2000 -- Consumers spent billions of dollars on Valentine's Day items for their sweethearts last year. Not for much longer.

Now those people, and everyone else, can cut their expenses through free domestic calling using Net2Phone Direct, Net2Phone's (NASDAQ: NTOP) Internet-based phone card all day on Valentine's Day, February 14th.

Users can sign up through the Net2Phone Direct web site at www.net2phonedirect.com or call 877-638-2746. Upon initial $25.00 purchase, users will qualify for the free Valentine's Day promotion. Current Net2Phone Direct customers can call 877-627-4663 and take advantage of the free calling.

"With our new promotion, there is no need to rush out to the florist on Valentine's Day to show how much you miss someone. Now you can just call them for free," said Jonathan Fram, President of Net2Phone.

Net2Phone Direct users call a toll-free or local number, which connects the call to a local gateway, which digitizes the caller's voice and puts it onto Net2Phone's IP backbone. The system then prompts the user to enter their account number and the telephone number they wish to reach. The call is carried over the Internet to another gateway located close to the recipient's area, which switches the call onto the local telephone network, and completes the call -- all within seconds. Net2Phone Direct is currently available in the U.S., United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, and France.
