    "We are looking to revolutionise the way people communicate," says Roger Karam, President of Fusion's VoIP Division and CEO of Efonica, Dubai.
Fusion introduced its new Efonica services on June 19 and has already attained registrations from over 50 countries around the world. Response has been particularly strong in Fusion's targeted emerging markets throughout Asia, Middle East and Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

"This is a historic day for Fusion. We have had a strong consumer response to our innovative VoIP offering, and are delighted that our vision of creating a worldwide Efonica calling community is becoming a reality so quickly," said Matthew Rosen, President and CEO of Fusion.

"We remain committed to increasing our subscriber base, expanding our free features and driving revenue by delivering compelling, fee-based value-added services to expand our customers' communications experience. The success of this launch positions us very well as we move forward."

Efonica members can call each other for free using their existing landline or mobile telephone numbers to and from any combination of PCs, Internet phones and regular telephones (with a Session Initiation Protocol 'SIP' adapter), connected to either a wireless, broadband or dial-up Internet connection.

Subscribers simply dial Fusion's patent-pending worldwide Internet Area Code "10," then dial familiar phone numbers as they normally would.

For a small fee, Efonica also offers its members the ability to call any landline or mobile phone in the world with its efoOut service, and to schedule a call between two phone numbers when they are away from their softphone, or SIP enabled device with its recently-announced efoLink service.

Roger Karam, President of Fusion's VoIP Division and CEO of Efonica, Dubai, said:
"We are looking to revolutionise the way people communicate, and the initial adoption of our Efonica services is certainly proof of our concept and vision. Many other VoIP service companies never reach 100,000 subscribers, yet Fusion accomplished this major milestone with limited marketing and its beta softphone version, in under 30 days. We are confident that as this first wave of subscribers learn what a great service we offer, our community of Efonica members will expand even more rapidly as we introduce more features and services."
