CONTINUED GROWTH OF CALL MINUTES DURING JUNE 2005
FOR XFONE 018 IN ISRAEL
July 6, 2005
LONDON & TEL AVIV, Israel – (PR Newswire) – July 6, 2005 – XFONE 018 Ltd., the majority owned Israel-based subsidiary of XFONE, Inc. (AMEX:XFN), today reported that its “018” international long distance carrier operations in Israel processed over 4.8 million call minutes in the month of June 2005, representing a 37% increase over 3.5 million call minutes processed in May 2005. The notable increase was largely driven by accelerated growth of incoming call traffic from other countries over XFONE 018's switching system.
As of June 30, 2005, XFONE 018 had logged approximately 105,000 registered and unregistered users since first launching operations in mid-December 2004, including approximately 17,000 new registered and unregistered users during June 2005.
“Our intense sales and marketing efforts in Israel over the past six months, emphasizing the numerous benefits of choosing ‘018’ for all international long distance calling needs, are proving to be very effective. It is becoming apparent that as people living and working in Israel travel abroad, they are remaining committed to using 018 long distance carrier services, irrespective of where in the world they may be calling from,” stated Rafi Dick, Managing Director of XFONE 018. “We are very pleased to see the rapid adoption of and loyalty being shown to our 018 services by our growing customer base and expect that this growth will continue as we progress in our business.”
