NEWSWIRE) -- magicJack VocalTec, Ltd. (Nasdaq:CALL), the Voice Experts
and company that invented voice over IP (VoIP) that sold over eight

magicJack APP is the latest offering from the company which recently
launched magicJack PLUS(TM), an upgraded version of the successful
magicJack that continues to provide free phone service with the option
to use it with or without a computer. The magicJack PLUS is the only
device available in the world that works in this fashion that also
weighs less than one ounce. This small, efficient form factor is
achieved by using the company's proprietary computer on a chip that
performs more than 14 functions and contains a CPU and memory. The
newest line-up of products and services continues to deliver the
highest voice quality, and now allows the customer flexibility when
placing a call: with or without a PC or Mac computer, on a smart phone,
on a tablet, without a magicJack and even via an iPod touch providing
free telecom service across all of these devices. The addressable
market for the company's products and services is ever expanding and
now made available to a much larger demographic market across the
globe.

magicJack APP, now available for free, downloads within seconds and
allows customers to begin making free calls. Users will have the option
to use their existing magicJack number to make/receive calls or use the
application for outgoing calls to landline or mobile numbers in the
U.S. and Canada, and other magicJack numbers across the world for free.
magicJack APP is as easy to use as your mobile phone with better voice
quality and allows customers to use their stored iPhone contacts.

Dan Borislow, CEO of magicJack, states: "I am incredibly proud of the
many employees involved in building our first APP. I am obviously
biased in saying this, but I can't see any reason that by offering the
best voice quality, free calls, ease of use, ability to use your
existing contacts and free download, that we will not have tens of
millions of downloads over the next year. Apple has the best OS and
devices built for voice and I believe we have the best telephone
network and software engineers to take advantage of this incredible
platform."

Customers with an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad will be able to use the
app when connected to W-Fi or 4G with the same functionality of a
regular mobile phone with better call quality, but without the costs
for calls. Answering the demands for people on the go or people in
their home or office, the company's products and services now broaden
to include computers, telephones, smartphones and consumer electronic
devices.

The company's CLEC network is the largest in the U.S. in terms of area
codes available and certification in number of states and carries the
call totally IP until to the last mile utilizing 140 servers and 83
session border controllers. These servers are only working at five
percent of utilization now as the company expects substantial call
growth.

magicJack VocalTec expects to deliver other devices and services
connected with Wi-Fi and 4G next year. With watching more results of
media tests over the weekend, the company is updating estimates for
2012 to $2.00 - $3.00 GAAP earnings per share (EPS) before any
nonrecurring items and 20 - 30 percent revenue growth from 2011 to
2012. With eight million customers having purchased the magicJack,
magicJack VocalTec is currently the fastest growing telecom company in
North America. The company continues to have the most aggressive and
advanced product and service path of any other company in home, small
business and mobile telecom in the country and will soon expand into
new markets across the world.

magicJack APP is available for download today at the Apple App Store.
