EVANSTON, Ill. & IRVINGTON, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 9, 2000

Go2Call, a leading international PC-to-phone service provider, today announced it has formed a strategic alliance with leading destination portal iWon to provide free PC-to-phone calling to iWon members.

The agreement enables users to place free calls to and within the US, Canada and selected countries in Europe. Now, with Go2Call's unique Web-based services, iWon users can avoid the lengthy "download and install" software, which is common among many other PC-to-phone providers.

"Our agreement with iWon not only validates Go2Call's easy-to-use technology, but more importantly, marks the broadening appeal of Internet calling to a mainstream consumer audience," said Go2Call co-founder, John Nix. "As one of the leading destination portals, iWon's tremendous reach will enable them to bring the value and convenience of free PC-to-phone calling to its users."

Through the integration of PC-to-phone calling, partners such as iWon have the ability to broaden their consumer offering, while increasing member loyalty

and dwell time. In addition, Go2Call has the flexibility to customize and personalize its content to best meet the needs of its partners.

"PC-to-phone calling adds an entirely new dimension in communications to iWon, and provides a substantial benefit to our members," said Jonas Steinman, iWon's Founder and co-CEO. "We believe Go2Call offers excellent Internet calling services, and we are excited to be on the cutting-edge in offering this valuable service to our users."
