FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
 
StanaPhone is No Longer an “Interconnected VoIP Provider”

 
Company affirms compliance with FCC’s November 28 deadline
 
New York, November 22, 2005 — StanaPhone, an Internet calling company, is no 
longer an “interconnected VoIP provider” and therefore complies with the terms of 
the FCC’s November 28 deadline for offering 911 access.
 
Following a re-engineering of the StanaPhone system, it now offers five different 
and separate services.  Called ‘Stana-PHONE’, ‘Stana-IN’, ‘Stana-OUT’, ‘Stana-
FAX’ and ‘Stana-CONFERENCE’, the services allow users to talk to each other for 
free, to receive incoming calls, to make outgoing phone calls to traditional 
telephones, to receive faxes and to hold conference calls respectively.
 
StanaPhone wishes to make clear that it is not designed as a replacement for a 
traditional household or office landline, that it will not be marketed as such, and that 
our users should not expect 911 functionality.  This notice will also be posted clearly 
on the company Web site at www.stanaphone.com.
 
Says Michael Choupak, president of StanaPhone Communications LLC, “This 
announcement represents our unambiguous pledge that we are not an 
“interconnected VOIP provider” as defined by the FCC (FCC-05-116A1, paragraph 
24) and that we are not subject to the November 28 FCC 911 requirement.”
