SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 10, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 8x8, Inc.
(Nasdaq:EGHT), provider of innovative business communications
solutions, today announced that at the end of February 2010 its
subscriber base reached a new milestone of 20,000 business customers.
For the December quarter, 8x8's average business customer subscribed to
7.3 paid services.

Over the past year and throughout the economic downturn, 8x8 has added
approximately 1,000 net new business customers each quarter as small
businesses increasingly seek ways to reduce expenses and improve the
efficiency of their operations. The 8x8 Virtual Office phone service
provides these customers with new, IP-enabled telephony capabilities
along with advanced features and unlimited local and long distance
calling -- all at a much lower cost than traditional landline phone
services. In addition to the 8x8 Virtual Office service, 8x8 offers
hosted Call Center and Key System services as well as IP Trunking and
Unified Communications solutions, all of which are designed to operate
over a business' existing broadband Internet connections, enabling
employee connectivity from anywhere a high speed Internet connection
exists.

8x8 also announced that as of the end of February, the Company had sold
approximately 2,500 paid subscriptions to its new 8x8 Virtual Office
Pro unified communications services, which were first offered for sale
on January 20, 2010. 8x8 Virtual Office Pro is an advanced messaging
platform that allows subscribers to manage essential business
communications functions online through a centralized web portal.
Integrated with the 8x8 Virtual Office business phone service, Virtual
Office Pro enhances business productivity by providing users with a
complete, instantly accessible suite of communication tools used in
everyday business interactions including web telephony, video and voice
web conferencing, fax, call recording, an online dashboard with Outlook
contacts and corporate directory integration, an Apple iPhone and iPod
Touch application for mobile access, and more.

"We are very pleased with the continued adoption of our business voice
services by companies seeking an easy and cost effective way to manage
their increasingly complicated and mobile telecommunications needs,"
said 8x8 Chairman & CEO Bryan Martin. "We are also encouraged by the
strong initial response to the 8x8 Virtual Office Pro solution from
both existing and new business customers and look forward to helping
businesses of all sizes enjoy the unique and differentiated advantages
provided by our IP-based telecommunications services. 8x8 Virtual
Office Pro is the fastest selling business telecommunications solution
that 8x8 has introduced."
