Coms, the broadband phone service, sold through John Lewis Partnership stores

London, 5th of April, Coms plc (Coms.Com) commences shipping a WiFi Mobile (combined VoIP and GSM) service through John Lewis stores.

John Lewis Partnership is providing retail display space to promote and demonstrate the Coms.Com products and services as a trial in their stores, including Chelsea, Kingston, Nottingham, Newcastle and Peterborough. Coms.Com is providing training at each store and the products will have branded display and point of sale materials.

The Coms.Com WiFi Mobile combines GSM with VoIP, integrating the best of mobile phone technology with the added advantage of making phone calls over the Internet. So, whenever you have a WiFi Internet connection (at home, in the office, at a cafe, on the train...) the WiFi Mobile automatically switches to make calls over the Internet, at a fraction of the cost of standard mobile calls. When you are not connected to the Internet, the phone reverts to making calls over the GSM connection. In all situations, your phone will continue to receive GSM calls.

'This gives the Coms.Com brand high visibility in premiere retail stores' said Terry Martin, CEO, 'and their trained, knowledgeable staff will give consumers the confidence to migrate to an Internet Telephony service.'

'This is another important milestone demonstrating fast progress against our stated strategy' said Jason Drummond, Executive Chairman, 'we continue to pursue organic growth directly through our own branded website, retailers and resellers, as well as acquisitions to add to our skills and revenues.'

Notes to Editors:

Coms.Com is supplying the Pirelli DP-L10 combined GSM/WiFi VoIP phone. The retail price is £164.00 with a Coms.Com usage contract.

About Coms plc

Coms.Com was founded by Jason Drummond in 2000 with the vision of using the Internet to carry and deliver voice telephone calls. Unlike Skype, Coms.Com is based upon the industry standard SIP protocol which enables the widest possible connection of customers, devices and integrated Web 2.0 applications. Coms.Com subscribers can make high quality calls over the internet wherever a high-speed internet connection is available including in wireless hotspots. Coms.Com subscribers can also select their own free telephone number. Ofcom has allocated Coms.Com 2 million numbers in the top 178 UK geographic area codes by population which Coms.Com subscribers can choose from. In addition, Coms.Com can transfer a company's existing telephone number to their service. Subscription is available in a range of packages from the Company's website www.coms.com.

As well as the obvious cost saving implications for businesses and consumers, the expanding market will enable Coms.Com to develop and offer innovative new convergent services such as video calling, IP Centrex, location independence and online presence. It is these new innovative features, alongside the cost saving benefits that are likely to encourage customers away from traditional PSTN systems and combine their broadband service and voice calling system.

Coms.Com launched its consumer service in October 2006, and recently acquired ExchangeXT, a leading provider of business VoIP services, to enable Coms.Com to enter the SME market.

Coms.Com is an Ofcom authorised Public Electronic Communications Network (PECN) and a member of the Internet Telephony Service Providers Association (ITSPA).
