TUCSON, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 28, 2001--BestNet Communications Corp. (OTCBB:BESC) announced today an agreement with Global Technologies of St. Denis La Plaine, France that will provide Global with the ability to sell web-initiated calling features to Global's customer base of 1000 technology solution providers in 10 countries. When used as a customer service tool, BestNet's web-initiated calling allows a web site visitor to click a phone icon on a web page, specify a telephone and immediately be connected to a customer service representative via telephone, using the public telephone network. The 123phoneme service provides the equivalent of an international toll-free number at a substantial savings and adds valuable customer service functionality to any web site. "Companies can easily voice-enable their websites without any requirement for extra hardware or software," said Maurice Brakha, president and CEO of Global Technologies.
