NEW YORK –Nov. 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.”
