2011-11-08


DALLAS and SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 8, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AT&T*
smartphone customers now have another way to stay in touch with family
and friends abroad. Introducing AT&T Call International -- a free
mobile VoIP app -- providing international long distance (ILD) calling
at low, competitive rates.

Developed with and operated by 8x8 Inc. (Nasdaq:EGHT), a provider of
innovative business communications solutions, AT&T smartphone**
customers can use the app to make calls from the U.S. to international
numbers; and when abroad, customers will benefit from the same low
rates using the app over Wi-Fi**. Countries and rates are available at

The app provides simple, step-by-step instructions to establish an AT&T
Call International account. Once established, customers can immediately
make international calls through the app by either dialing directly or

directly to the customer's credit card.

The AT&T Call International app is available today as a free download
in Android Market, BlackBerry AppWorld and more.
