AccessLine Communications, a leading provider of hosted VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services, today announced the Southern California 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.



AccessLine's SmartVoice Service is now available in many Southern California markets including Los Angeles, San Diego, Long Beach, Santa Ana, Anaheim, Riverside, Bakersfield, Glendale, Huntington Beach, San Bernardino, Oxnard, Garden Grove, Ontario, Pomona, Irvine, Torrance, Pasadena, Orange County, Fullerton, Lancaster, Thousand Oaks, Palmdale, Inglewood, Simi Valley, Costa Mesa, Downey, West Covina, Norwalk, Ventura, Burbank, Arcadia, Compton, Mission Viejo, Santa Barbara, Carson, Westminster, Santa Monica, and Newport Beach.

"Most of the new Internet Protocol (IP) telephone services available today require a business to throw out its current key system or PBX and invest in new equipment. With the hosted approach of SmartVoice Service, a small business doesn't need to deal with that disruption and capital expense," said Doug Johnson, CEO at AccessLine. "SmartVoice Service will immediately start saving a business 30, 40, up to as much as 50 percent off its current legacy phone bills, and it can continue to use its current equipment. To the end-user, this can be a nearly transparent transition. Along with AccessLine's award winning customer service and a dedicated connection to assure voice quality, SmartVoice is clearly a smart move for business communications."

Even before today's formal market launch, customers in Southern California have begun purchasing SmartVoice Service through AccessLine's authorized dealer Dial Tone Services. Visit Dial Tone Services at www.DialToneServices.com and select "AccessLine VoIP" from the left hand menu.
