PROXY STATEMENT
FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
November 14, 2001

INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING

General

The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of
ePHONE Telecom, Inc., a Florida corporation (referred to herein as ePHONE), for
use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on November 14, 2001, at
10:00 AM, EST. The Annual Meeting will be held at the Marriott-Dulles Hotel,
13101 Worldgate Drive, Herndon, Virginia.

Solicitation

We sent you this Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card because
ePHONE's Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy to vote at the 2001 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders. This Proxy Statement summarizes the information you
need to know to cast an informed vote at the Annual Meeting. However, you do not
need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may simply
complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy card.

We will begin sending this Proxy Statement, the attached Notice of
Annual Meeting and the enclosed proxy card on October 15, 2001 to all
stockholders entitled to vote. Stockholders who owned ePHONE common stock at the
close of business on October 15, 2001 are entitled to vote. On this record date,
there were 31,290,165 shares of ePHONE common stock outstanding. ePHONE common
stock is our only class of voting stock. We are also sending along with this
Proxy Statement, the ePHONE 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A, the ePHONE
Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarter ended March 31,2001, and
the ePHONE Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarter ended June 30,
each filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which includes our
financial statements.

Voting

Each share of ePHONE common stock that you own entitles you to one
vote. The proxy card indicates the number of shares of ePHONE common stock that
you own.

Whether you plan to attend the Annual Meeting or not, we urge you to
complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and to return it promptly in the
envelope provided. Returning the proxy card will not affect your right to attend
the Annual Meeting and vote.

If you properly fill in your proxy card and send it to us in time to
vote, your "proxy" (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote
your shares as you have directed. If you sign the proxy card but do not make
specific choices, your proxy will vote your shares as recommended by the Board
of Directors as follows:

"FOR" the election of all five nominees for director;

"FOR" ratification of the selection of Grant Thornton, LLP as our
independent auditors for 2001.

If any other matter is presented, your proxy will vote in accordance
with his or her best judgment. At the time this Proxy Statement went to press,
we knew of no matters which needed to be acted on at the Annual Meeting, other
than those discussed in this Proxy Statement.

Revocability of Proxies

If you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is
exercised. You may revoke your proxy in any one of three ways:

o You may send in another proxy with a later date.

o You may notify ePHONE's Secretary in writing before the Annual Meeting
that you have revoked your proxy.

o You may vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

If you plan to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person, we will
give you a ballot form when you arrive. However, if your shares are held in the
name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must bring an account statement
or letter from the nominee indicating that you are the beneficial owner of the
shares on October 15, 2001, the record date for voting.

All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for
the meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes,
abstentions and broker non-votes. Abstentions will be counted towards the
tabulation of votes cast on proposals presented to the stockholders and will
have the same effect as negative votes. Broker non-votes are counted towards a
quorum, but are not counted for any purpose in determining whether a matter has
been approved, except that a broker non-vote will have the same effect as a
negative vote with respect to the proposed amendments to the Articles of
Incorporation.

ePHONE will pay all the costs of soliciting these proxies. In addition
to mailing proxy soliciting material, our directors and employees also may
solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means of
communications. They will not be paid any additional compensation for doing so.
In addition, we have engaged the services of ADP for the purpose of assisting in
the solicitation of proxies at a cost of approximately $7,000, plus the
reimbursement of expenses

Stockholder Proposals

If you wish to submit proposals to be included in our 2002 proxy
statement, we must receive them on or before March 1, 2002. Please address your
proposals to ePHONE Telecom, Inc., 1145 Herndon Parkway, Suite 100, Herndon,
Virginia 20170, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

ePHONE's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the Board of
Directors shall consist of not less than one nor more than nine individuals. A
director elected by the Board to fill a vacancy shall serve for the remainder of
the full term of the director whose vacancy he or she is filling, and until such
director's successor is elected and qualified.

The Board of Directors is presently composed of five members. There are
five nominees for election as directors of ePHONE. Four of these individuals are
currently directors of ePHONE. If elected at the Annual Meeting, the nominees
would serve until the 2002 annual meeting and until their successors are elected
and qualified, or until such directors' earlier death, resignation or removal.

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes present in person or
represented by proxy and entitled to vote at a meeting at which a quorum is
present. Shares represented by executed proxies will be voted, if authority to
do so is not withheld, for the election of the nominees named below. In the
event that any nominee is unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected
occurrence, such shares will be voted for the election of such substitute
nominee as management may propose. Each person nominated for election has agreed
to serve if elected, and management has no reason to believe that the nominees
will be unable to serve.

PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

The Board of Directors has selected Grant Thornton, LLP as ePHONE's
independent public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2001 and
has further directed that management submit the selection of independent
auditors for ratification by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. Grant
Thornton has audited ePHONE's financial statements for the fiscal years 1999 and
2000. Stockholders ratification of the selection of Grant Thornton as ePHONE's
independent public accountants is not required by ePHONE's Bylaws or otherwise.
However, the Board of Directors is submitting the selection of Grant Thornton to
the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the
stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Board of Directors will
reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is
ratified, the Board of Directors at their discretion may direct the appointment
of a different independent accounting firm at any time during the year.

No representative of Grant Thornton, LLP will be present at the Annual
Meeting.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present
in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting
will be required to ratify the selection of Grant Thornton.

Audit Fees

ePHONE incurred fees of $59,767.00 to Grant Thornton for the 2000
annual audit.

Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees

ePHONE did not pay any financial information systems design and
implementation fees to Grant Thornton during 2000.

All Other Fees

ePHONE incurred additional fees of $35,109.00 to Grant Thornton during
2000 for services other than the annual audit. The Board of Directors has
considered whether Grant Thornton's provision of other non-audit services to
ePHONE is consistent with maintaining Grant Thornton's independence.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote in
favor of Proposal 2.

Mr. Zadeh surrendered these options upon leaving the employment of ePHONE.
Options to purchase 848,885 shares of Common Stock have been granted to other

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Founding Shares

On May 8, 1996, immediately following incorporation, ePHONE issued
1,000,000 common shares for services rendered for a deemed price of $0.001 per
share for a total of $1,000. Of these, 975,000 shares were issued to Ira
Schwartz, the sole director and officer at that time.

Charles Yang

By an agreement dated July 8, 1999, referred to herein as the Yang
Agreement, we engaged Charles Yang to provide his services on a full-time basis
as the President and Chief Operating Officer of ePHONE for a basic term of 4
years. The Yang Agreement provided for the payment to Mr. Yang of a fee of
$7,500 per month initially, escalating to $17,500 per month for the period April
1 - June 30, 2000.

The Yang Agreement also provided for Mr. Yang to be granted options to
purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock during the term of the Yang Agreement,
exercisable at $0.50 per share. The options were to vest on the following
schedule:

(a) 100,000 shares upon execution of the Yang Agreement

(b) 200,000 shares by October 1, 1999

In the Yang Agreement, we also agreed to acquire from Mr. Yang 100% of
the issued shares of a company owned by him, General-Tel Inc., in exchange for
1,500,000 of our voting common shares. The Yang Agreement also provided that we
must, within 6 months of the closing of the acquisition of General-Tel, raise
funding for ePHONE of not less than $1,100,000. As part of the dispute with Mr.
Yang, we will not purchase the shares of General-Tel.

Under the terms of the Yang Agreement, Mr. Yang was to receive
2,000,000 voting common shares (which ePHONE has not yet issued). Our Canadian
lawyers were to hold the certificates for these shares in escrow, and 25% of
such shares (500,000 shares) were to be released to Mr. Yang upon ePHONE
achieving certain performance thresholds.

The Agreement also required that Mr. Yang bring to the company the
benefit of all negotiations and technical knowledge initiated or held by him to
sell hardware or services with respect to a technology referred to as Wireless
Local Loop ("WLL").

We agreed to issue Mr. Yang 1,000,000 voting common shares if he
succeeded in developing an agreement for the sale by ePHONE of WLL to one or
more purchasers. These shares were to be issued on the following schedule:

(a) 300,000 shares upon completion of negotiation and signing of Memorandum
of Understanding with the purchaser of WLL;

(b) 300,000 shares upon completion of signing of a formal contract for the
sale of WLL;

(c) 400,000 shares upon the receipt by the Company from the sale of WLL of
payments and revenues of not less than $500,000.

Further, Mr. Yang would have received 10% of the gross profits earned by ePHONE
from the sales of WLL.

Mr. Yang was also, from the sale of our products or services, to
receive royalties on the following basis:

(a) from sales of equipment or services in China, Vietnam or
Taiwan, provided the our gross profit margin is not less than 20%
from such sales, Mr. Yang will be paid 5% of the gross profits
from such business; and

(b) for countries other than China, Vietnam or Taiwan where we
would pay sales commissions to representatives or agents in such
other country, Mr. Yang would have been paid monies equal to 1%
of the amount of the gross sales revenues from such countries;

(c) where sales to China, Vietnam or Taiwan produce gross
profits of less than 20% then Mr. Yang would have, in lieu of the
aforesaid 5%, receive commissions equal to 1% of the gross sales
revenues from such countries.

A breakdown in the relationship between ePHONE and Mr. Yang developed
and he ceased providing services to ePHONE by January 31, 2000. Mr. Yang's
positions as President and Chief Operating Officer of ePHONE were formally
terminated on March 9, 2000.

On March 23, 2001, ePHONE entered into a Settlement Agreement and
Mutual General Release (the "Settlement Agreement") with Mr. Yang to resolve all
claims and disputes between ePHONE and Mr. Yang, including all claims relating
to Mr. Yang's employment by and separation from ePHONE. Pursuant to the terms of
the Settlement Agreement, ePHONE agreed to pay Mr. Yang $400,000 in cash in
installments by July 23, 2001, and issue Mr. Yang 400,000 shares of ePHONE's
common stock..

Other Transactions

During 2000, ePHONE paid $48,000 for management services provided by a
company in which Chief Executive Officer Robert Clarke has a controlling
interest and $56,000 of sales was made to a company in which Mr. Clarke has an
interest.

In addition to making the consulting payments to a company controlled
by Mr. Clarke mentioned above, ePHONE made consulting payments of $36,000 each
to companies controlled by Mr. Charlie Rodriguez and Mr. John Fraser
respectively, both directors at December 31, 2000.

During 1999 ePHONE was advanced approximately $62,000, on an interest
free basis, by Mr. Clarke, as we needed funds. No formal loan documentation was
executed in connection with these advances of funds, Mr. Clarke was not granted
any security interest in any of the assets and no date was fixed for the
repayment of these advances. These amounts were fully repaid to Mr. Clarke prior
to December 31, 1999.

During 1999, certain directors and executive officers were paid
$232,000 to perform functions for the Company on a consulting basis. These
officers and directors were paid for their services rendered from time to time
on such basis as was negotiated by the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Clarke.
During 1999, consulting fees were paid to Messrs. John Fraser ($38,000), Hans
van Yzeren ($32,000), Charles Rodriguez ($45,000), and Ben Leboe ($14,000).

In connection with the termination of Mr. Zadeh and Mr. Ossivand,
ePHONE entered into a Support and Development Agreement with ePHONE
Technologies, Inc (ePHONE Tech), a company formed by the terminated executive
officers in December 2000. ePHONE Tech will, under this Agreement, provide
ePHONE with internet telephony technology support and development services at an
hourly rate plus reimbursements for certain support services, as defined in the
agreement. The term of the agreement is one year and may be renewed for
consecutive one-year terms. As provided for in the agreement, ePHONE purchased a
20% equity interest in ePHONE Tech for $880,000, consisting of $865,000 in cash
and $15,000 in equipment. At any time prior to the third anniversary of the
Agreement, ePHONE Tech may repurchase ePHONE's interest for $185,000.
Accordingly, ePHONE has written down the cost of its investment in ePHONE Tech
to $185,000 at December 31, 2000. ePHONE Technologies Inc. served ePHONE with 90
day notice of termination of the Support and Development Agreement on March 14,
2001. Services ceased on June 12, 2001.
