AccessLine Communications, a leading provider of hosted VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services, announced the Pacific Northwest market launch for the new retail version of SmartVoice Service -- the company's hosted VoIP service that delivers the benefits of advanced business telephone service at a fraction of the cost. Specifically designed and built for Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs), SmartVoice Service offers as much as 50 percent savings over traditional business phone service rates. Combining local, long distance, and toll free phone service with no need for the purchase of any phone equipment, AccessLine's SmartVoice Service delivers savings while making it easy for customers to transition from their current legacy phone service.

"Most of the new Internet Protocol (IP) telephone services require a business to take the risk of simultaneously changing both its phone service provider and its data service provider. In addition, most services require the business customer to purchase expensive new telephone equipment. SmartVoice Service doesn't require a business to do any of these things," said Kent Hellebust, Chief Marketing Officer for AccessLine. "With SmartVoice Service, the voice traffic travels over a separate, dedicated broadband circuit to ensure top quality; a company can keep its email and web providers, yet immediately start saving 30, 40, up to as much as 50 percent off its current legacy phone bills. All of these benefits, in combination with AccessLine's award winning customer service, clearly makes SmartVoice a smart business decision."

Even before today's formal launch, customers in the Pacific Northwest have been purchasing SmartVoice Service through AccessLine's authorized Northwest dealer network of more than 18 telecommunications experts. Call 877-500-LINE or visit www.accessline.com to obtain more information.
