American Telecom Launches DECT Cordless Phone with Integrated Answering Machine Accessible from each Handset



Multi-handset Design Changes the Way That Households Check Their Messages

CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif., July 18 // -- American Telecom Services, Inc. (ATS) (AMEX:TES), a provider of both Digital Clear Internet Phone (VoIP) and Pay N' Talk pre-paid long distance communication services that are bundled with digital cordless multi-handset phones, announced today the release of its first DECT 6.0 Pay N' Talk phone that includes an integrated, next-generation answering machine with access from every handset.

This new ATS design allows users to check their messages from any handset in the expandable system, instead of restricting them to checking messages only from the base as is common on other, similar devices. The release of the new phone represents a significant advancement in maximizing functionality and consumer ease-of-use within a multi-handset system, providing them with a service that emulates network-driven voice mail, without the monthly service cost.

Priced at less than $40 for the master base (Model RA21804B), ATS also is introducing a companion expansion handset (Model RA21814B) that will retail for under $20. The phones will be sold in multiple retail package configurations ranging from stand-alone masters and extensions to combination sets of a master base with up to four additional handsets. Each handset includes the money saving green button for accessing the company's patent-pending, Pay N' Talk prepaid long distance platform.

Pay N' Talk service offers consumers the opportunity to save on their regional, domestic and international long distance service through seamless access using the money saving green button. Using the money saving green button, consumers can activate their Pay N' Talk account, make calls and manage their account. All domestic calls are 3.9 cents per minute with no additional charges and all taxes included. Competitive international rates may be found at http://atsphone.com/payntalk/rates.html.
