i2Telecom International Licenses Mobile Payment System Patents

Market Wire, April, 2008

i2Telecom International, Inc. ("i2Telecom®") (OTCBB: ITUI), a developer of patented and innovative high-quality Voice-over-Internet Protocol ("VoIP") products and services, today announced that it has licensed U.S.P.T.O. Patent 7,120,606 and U.S.P.T.O. Patent 7,343,349 and all related international rights, including published or pending patent filings in Europe, Canada, India and under the worldwide Patent Cooperation Treaty, from the owner, Ann Arbor, Michigan-based Jove Corporation. i2Telecom intends to utilize the non-exclusive license in conjunction with a value-added mobile payment service for its award winning MyGlobalTalk(TM) platform.

MyGlobalTalk(TM) enables very low-cost international phone calls from any mobile phone that downloads the MyGlobalTalk(TM) software. MyGlobalTalk(TM) is an innovative combination of cellular and VoIP technology that utilizes i2Telecom's VoIP network and other Internet-based and Session Initiation Protocol ("SIP") telephony-based infrastructures referred to as Mobile VoIP. MyGlobalTalk(TM) has recently received a number of awards, including the 2007 INTERNET TELEPHONY® Magazine's 'Product of the Year' Award, 'Best of Show' at the INTERNET TELEPHONY® Conference and Expo East 2008, and the 2007 'Product of the Year' Award by Unified Communications.

"The inclusion of a mobile payment service platform as part of the MyGlobalTalk(TM) platform represents a natural extension of the MyGlobalTalk(TM) franchise," stated Paul Arena, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of i2Telecom International, Inc. "Many international callers also send money overseas on a routine basis, and the mobile payment service makes this possible. Cell phone users will also be able to pay for retail purchases electronically using their cell phone as a proximity payment device instead of using cash and coins."

"We are pleased to partner with i2Telecom in offering this new innovative service, which will be available to the market later this year," commented Stephen Lange Ranzini, Chairman of Jove Corporation and one of the co-inventors of the patented technology. The other co-inventors are Don Jacobs, John Sheridan and Chris Weideman. Stephen Lange Ranzini is also President and Chairman of University Bank of Ann Arbor. He represents the U.S. at the United Nations standards setting body for financial services XML, UN CEFACT TBG5 ( www.tbg5-finance.org ), and is a member of the board of directors of the U.S. financial services standards setting body, ANSI ASC X-9 ( www.x9.org ). He has also been a U.S. delegate to ISO TC 68, the global standards setting body for financial services ( www.iso.org/tc68 ).
