Solutions NEW YORK, Nov. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Fusion
(AMEX:FSN), a global communications service provider, today
announced DigitalFX International, Inc. (AMEX:DXN) has integrated
Fusion's proprietary Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology
with live video on each call into helloWorld.com's social network
with its streaming video platform. As a result, the more than
40,000 helloWorld users now have a new service: A feature-rich VoIP
video phone at no cost with unlimited on-network calling to all
other helloWorld users. HelloWorld customers make calls from a
customized, state-of-the-art softphone that Fusion designed and
developed. This new service further enriches the helloWorld.com
experience, which already offers subscribers the ability to upload,
store and share their calendars, pictures, emails, video emails,
songs, documents, podcasts and live webcasts online from any
computer anywhere in the world. "We are excited about the
opportunity to partner with DigitalFX to add an IP-based phone
service to its versatile, easy to use digital platform," said
Matthew Rosen, Fusion's President and Chief Executive Officer.
"This is the first time we have introduced live video to our
already feature-rich softphone. We believe that helloPhone is one
more way that Fusion's and DigitalFX's collaboration is
revolutionizing the way people communicate." "DigitalFX is
delighted to offer its subscribers this feature-rich video phone
service," said DigitalFX Chief Executive Officer Craig Ellins. "We
are impressed with the exceptional quality, reach and innovation of
Fusion's VoIP products. We look forward to developing other
exciting converged solutions for our subscribers." To use the
videophone, helloWorld.com subscribers are given an Internet Phone
Number (or eNumber), and an online Phonebook that can be accessed
directly from the softphone on their desktop. Subscribers can dial
the numbers they want to reach on the softphone dial pad on their
computer screens and easily access a directory listing of stored
names and phone numbers. Useful features such as Call History,
Caller ID, Three-way calling, Call Hold, Call Transfer and Do Not
Disturb are also free of charge. Paid calling packages will soon be
available to supplement the basic free service and will include
minutes for off-net calling, a traditional phone number, Voice Mail
and Remote Phone, which enables the user to place VoIP calls from a
mobile or landline phone. About Fusion: Fusion delivers a full
range of advanced IP-based services to corporations, consumers and
carriers worldwide. Fusion's Efonica-branded VoIP products and
services, which focus primarily on Asia, the Middle East, Africa
