Jackson, Mississippi – February 15, 2007 – XFONE , Inc. (AMEX, TASE: XFN), an international diversified communications services company, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, XFONE USA, Inc. has completed its ATM facilities-based co-location build out in the central offices of the Regional Bell Operating Company (RBOC) in Jackson, Mississippi. The completion of this project provides end-users with a direct connection to the Company’s switching facilities.
Wade Spooner, President and Chief Executive Officer of XFONE USA said, “Converting our customers to our own facilities enables us to directly manage the telecommunications service provided to our customers, thereby reducing costs and allowing pro-active customer service solutions.”
XFONE USA has transitioned its residential customers in the Jackson area to its integrated voice/data high speed digital based network from the RBOC legacy network. The transition of the Company’s business customers is expected to be completed by the end of February. Additionally, the Company has completed the migration of its DSL customers from the PVC (Private Virtual Circuit) based service to PPPoE (Point to Point Over Ethernet), which is also expected to lead to increased gross margins.
Guy Nissenson, President and Chief Executive Officer of XFONE, Inc. commented, “The completion of our Jackson, Mississippi build out considerably strengthens our position in the U.S. and is a notable step in the integration of our U.S. acquisitions. Moving customers to our own facilities is a cornerstone of our growth strategy, helping us to not only provide industry leading customer service, but also strengthen our margins.”
