Mr. Ming Chok, CEO of SOYO Group said, "China Unicom is one of the largest telcos in the world and we're very pleased to have them as our telecommunications provider and to be a part of their global VoIP network. SOYO Group has had a long, successful history of offering best-in-class products, and our partnership with China Unicom is part of that natural evolution as we grow and mature our VoIP service offerings."

In recent months, SOYO Group has announced that several major retailer and major e-retailers have begun selling its Z-Connect VoIP phone, including Wal-Mart.com, PC Mall, and Fry's Electronics. Additionally, Tiger Direct, one of the company's resellers, recently featured the Z-Connect VoIP phone in SkyMall Magazine, which can be seen daily on 19 airlines including American Airlines, Delta, America West, and United Airlines.

"What is important to understand," explained Mr. Chok, "is that the Z- Connect VoIP phone does not require a computer to operate. It only requires a broadband connection. All calls made in the Z-Connect network* are free, around the world, and when calling outside the network can be as low as .03 cents to Asia from any location in the world."

In the near future Z-Connect users will be able to choose a local phone number in any area code without the geographical limitations typically placed on landline users. For a complete description of Z-Connect features and services, please visit the following URL: http://phone.soyo.com/
