trueVoice is EarthLink's VoIP (voice over Internet protocol) service that requires an ATA (analog telephone adaptor) to connect calls made on a regular phone. EarthLink DSL and Home Phone Service couples super-fast broadband with an Internet phone service that is powered and carried through normal wire telephone lines over the last mile to the consumer's home. Both services provide all features and benefits of making phone calls over the Internet, including enhanced voicemail, call forwarding, call waiting, call blocking, caller ID, award-winning 24/7 customer service, enhanced 911 service, and myVoice portal for managing calls online.

"Increasing consumer awareness of the advantages and benefits of Internet voice is one of EarthLink's priorities," said Staci Parker, vice president of EarthLink Sales. "We chose TMone to help build that awareness and drive consumer adoption because of the company's experience in marketing new technologies."

"EarthLink's robust suite of voice and data products complements TMone's marketing approach and we are pleased to have the opportunity to promote a new product like DSL and Home Phone Service," said, Anthony Marlowe, president of TMone. "EarthLink is one of the most strategic providers in the industry and its vision constantly challenges contenders to stay competitive."

TMone will provide telesales and database marketing to assist in EarthLink's marketing outreach for its Internet voice products. TMone will use its proprietary broadband subscriber database to reach out to consumers about the benefits of EarthLink's trueVoice product line, while cross functional sales teams will offer bundled voice and data packages to potential customers.
