NetworkIP Launches The CallMe Card Service With Donation of 10,000 Cards to Support 'Cell Phones for Soldiers' Program Sep 15, 2004 Unique, new product provides friends and loved ones back home with a personal toll-free number for soldiers to use overseas. DALLAS (September 15, 2004) - NetworkIP, a leading provider of communications technology, today launched The CallMe Card on the Tony Danza Show. The company donated 10,000, toll-free numbers in the form of $5 CallMe Cards to Cell Phones for Soldiers, a program that enables soldiers stationed overseas to communicate with loved ones back home. NetworkIP's CallMe Card provides users with a personal, toll-free 800 number to give out to family and friends at rates far below those associated with traditional toll-free services. This new service enables consumers to have calls forwarded to any designated number, including their home, cell or office phone. Users can redirect and recharge the number at any time via phone or online customer service. "NetworkIP is pleased to join such a worthwhile cause with our CallMe Card offering," said Pete Pattullo, president and CEO of NetworkIP. "The card is ideal for our soldiers stationed overseas because it allows them to contact their loved ones without the worry of exceeding minutes or incurring the high rates associated with other alternatives. We know how important it is for soldiers' morale to maintain contact with loved ones on a regular basis." The Cell Phones for Soldiers program was started by thirteen-year old Brittany Bergquist and her twelve year-old brother Robbie of Norwell, Massachusetts, after they learned about a local soldier who ran up a massive cell phone bill calling home from Iraq. As a sign of support, they immediately pooled their money together and opened a savings account at South Shore Bank to aid the soldier. The bank then donated $500 towards their efforts. The Bergquist's hope is to provide as many soldiers as possible with much needed communication vehicles, including prepaid calling cards and cell phone service. The organization has already distributed calling cards to soldiers in Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan and other bases around the world. Each CallMe Card donated by NetworkIP provides up to one hour of calling time for soldiers overseas calling their family and friends. Users can designate where the call will be received to ensure they will be available for the call. For more information about NetworkIP's CallMe Card, please visit: www.thecallmecard.com.
