Fusion Offers FUSION IP-Phone Calls to Mobile Phones

Fusion Communications Corporation provides a telephone service that allows calls to be made from its FUSION IP-Phone (050 number) network to mobile phones in Japan through its international relay system (*1). Using the price-setting rights recently acquired by IP telephone service providers, Fusion will begin providing this service from IP phones (050 numbers) to mobile phones in Japan directly through interconnections with mobile phone operator exchanges in Japan (*2) at a lower rate than through its international relay system. Charges for the phone service, which starts on December 15, are 18 yen per minute, the lowest currently available for this type of service.

When using Fusion's international relay system, it is necessary to dial a mobile phone number by making an international call, but with the start of the new service, customers using FUSION IP-Phone (050 number) can dial directly, starting with the 090 (or 080) prefix of the mobile phone number in Japan.

For more details regarding the service, please refer to the attached information.

(*1)International Relay System
With "Japan mobile" added to the available call destinations, FUSION IP-Phone is able to offer international telephone service calls to mobile phones in Japan through an international relay. Dialing follows the international dialing convention: 010-81-90 (or 80)-AAAA-XXXX.

(*2)Interconnections with Mobile Phone Operator Exchanges
This is a method for providing telephone service to mobile phones in Japan by connecting directly to the exchanges of mobile phone operators in Japan, made possible by IP telephone service carriers having the right to set prices. Dialing can be done directly to a mobile phone number: 090 (or 080)-AAAA-XXXX.
