FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
City of Industry, California, July 18, 2007 - American Telecom Services Inc.
(AMEX: TES), a provider of converged communications solutions, today announced
that it will start shipping a Digital Clear Internet
(Voice-over-Internet-Protocol or VoIP) telephone to the fastest growing
electronics retailer based in California and the world's largest retailer's dot
com, for promotion in the fall season. The award-winning X10001P, an
Interference-Free, DECT 6.0, Cordless, Multi-Handset telephone, previously
announced as a bundle with Lingo service on December 20, 2006, will be sold at
both new retailers and promoted to their customers through in-store fixtures,
online placement and circular advertisements.
Bruce Hahn, American Telecom Services' Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We
remain committed to expanding Digital Clear Internet Telephone product and
service bundles through retail distribution. Today, we are announcing
significant progress in the pursuit of this goal, announcing two new retail
channels for our Lingo offering. These phones, supported by Lingo, allow
consumers to make unlimited long distance calls in North America and 21
international destinations for a low, fixed monthly fee and are exceptionally
easy to plug and talk for use by all consumers. We do not expect the reported
situation with SunRocket, a VoIP service provider, to adversely impact our
ability to extend VoIP services to purchasers of our phone products as we have
expanded our offerings to include Lingo's VoIP offerings."
