Nerd, I gave maximum, unreal potential figures for the near future potential. You and I know how all the many other test marketing attempts have gone. I don't need to repeat them.
Nothing to be over excited about at this stage.

"It was stated to be

a test marketing attempt."


Perhaps I missed it but I see nothing in the announcement where, as you put it, "It was stated to be a test marketing attempt." Are you telling us or are you telling the company that this is a test marketing attempt?


GlobeTel Communications Corp. and MetroTel PCS Communications Introduce the 'Anywhere Caller' Plan

Unlimited Flat Rate Calling Plan to Be Sold Through Independent
Metro PCS Dealers

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 16, 2007--GlobeTel Communications Corp. (OTC:GTEM) today announced that, through its joint development and marketing venture with MetroTel PCS Communications LLC, its new ANYWHERE CALLER(TM) flat rate calling product, www.AnyWhereCaller.com, will be sold through MetroTel's retail stores in Texas and Michigan. MetroTel is an authorized independent dealer of Metro PCS Communications.

ANYWHERE CALLER(TM) is designed to allow cell phone users to call internationally without paying high rates and tariffs. The plan is priced at $19.99 per month, and extends to more than 40 international destinations. Destinations outside the plan are billed at a reasonable per minute rate.

"This product is an extension of our current carrier-class VoIP platform. GlobeTel continues to take meaningful steps forward in the convergence of wireless and VoIP technologies with the rollout of MetroTel's ANYWHERE CALLER(TM) product. When we were approached by MetroTel to provide a globally-focused calling plan to supplement existing local and national calling plans, we knew that the flexibility of our VoIP platform could be customized to support a product capable of delivering solutions to this specific set of international calling needs. Cell phone subscribers, regardless of their local or national calling plans, can all use our feature-rich package to gain truly economical global access," stated Peter Khoury, Chief Executive Officer of GlobeTel Communications.

Through ANYWHERE CALLER(TM), additional phone numbers can be purchased which would automatically be tied to, and routed into, any phone number the subscriber chooses. The range of locations from which additional numbers could be chosen include most major US cities and international locations which will include the UK, Brazil, Mexico, France, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Ireland, with that range expected to grow.

Mr. Khoury continued, "Together with MetroTel, we are pleased to introduce the ANYWHERE CALLER(TM) product through this group of independent MetroPCS dealers. We're starting in two of the largest markets in the US; the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex with more than 5.8 million people, and the Detroit metropolitan area, with over 5.4 million people. The ANYWHERE CALLER(TM) product will be marketed as a cost-effective communications solution for the rising immigrant populations in these markets, as well as for anyone who wishes to speak internationally at a substantially lower cost per minute."
