DIALPAD LAUNCHES SERVICE IN CHINESE, FURTHERS INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION

MILPITAS, Calif. - November 20, 2002 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- Dialpad Communications, Inc. has furthered its pledge to be the Internet's best and easiest phone call by introducing a complete Chinese-language version of its PC-to-Phone services. The new Chinese web site, located at http://cn.dialpad.com, signifies an important next step in Dialpad's strategy of becoming more accessible for consumers around the world.

At a time when the telecom industry is struggling, Dialpad has continued to expand, especially in international markets. Localization of language has played a key role in this success. "China is a huge market with an emerging telecommunications industry," said Craig Walker, Dialpad's CEO. "With our extremely competitive rates and superior service offerings, China presents an excellent opportunity for Dialpad. The localization of our service in Chinese will greatly enhance our business in that region." The new Chinese site follows close on the heels of a Spanish site launch in July. Dialpad also offers service in Korean and Japanese and has offices in those markets.

With the Chinese government mandating a substantial increase in costs for all carriers terminating calls in China, Dialpad offers a much cheaper way for people in China to keep in touch with family and friends around the world. Callers from China and countries around the world can take advantage of Dialpad's low PC-to-Phone rates to over 200 countries. Sample per minute rates include 3.9 cents to Canada and the UK, 4.5 cents to Tokyo, and 4.9 cents to Hong Kong. For those who call the USA often, Dialpad offers special monthly plans with rates to the U.S. as low as 1.7 cents per minute.
