(TGO)(TGO.) Saratoga Telecom and Teleglobe Sign Domestic Marketing Agreement KIRKLAND, Wash., Feb 16, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Saratoga International Holdings, Corp. (OTCBB: SHCC) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary Saratoga Telecom, Inc. has signed an agreement with Reston, Virginia based Teleglobe, Inc. (NYSE: TGO)(TSE:TGO), enabling Saratoga Telecom to market and sell competitively priced domestic prepaid, virtual calling cards, over the Internet. The agreement with Teleglobe allows Saratoga to issue Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) or access codes required for customers to place calls using the prepaid TalkIsCheapCard(TM). The terms of the agreement also enable Saratoga Telecom to offer retail prepaid phone calls for under $0.10 per minute with no additional connection fees or surcharges. All calls will be carried over Teleglobe's GlobeSystem(TM) network, one of the largest international telecommunications networks in the world. "The agreement with Teleglobe makes Saratoga a major player in the domestic prepaid calling card market," said Thomas S. Morsey, President of Saratoga Telecom. "Unlike most of the other prepaid phone card sellers, we do not believe in selling a phone card with an unrealistic rate and then adding a connection fee or surcharge to the price of the call misleading the consumer to the actual cost of the call; we're offering a real value at a very competitive price, which in the end saves the consumer money." The new pricing structure for domestic calling, coupled with Saratoga Telecom's recent marketing agreement with Universal Express, Inc.'s (OTC:BB USXP) subsidiary The Postal Business Center Network.com (PBC), will give Saratoga several thousand domestic retail locations offering the TalkIsCheapCard(TM) to the walk-in public. Saratoga Telecom has developed a unique method of retailing prepaid long-distance cards to distributors via the Internet. PBC Network locations can purchase inventory as needed via the Internet and then sell it over the counter. This buy as you sell inventory control approach alleviates theft, pilferage and overstocking. The virtual TalkIsCheapCard(TM) is sold online through Saratoga Telecom's Website at (www.talkischeapcard.com). Once purchased, customers can place long-distance calls from any phone within the U.S. or to more than 240 world-wide locations. Saratoga International's Virtual Calling Card has access from more than 90 countries around the world. "Teleglobe's prepaid card service is another example of our ability to create customized products and services for our customers," said Andrew Burroughs, Vice President and General Manager, Teleglobe Valued Added Services, "Whether a customer needs global connectivity, PINS or a full turn-key calling solution, Teleglobe has a proven track record in creating global services that help our customers remain competitive."
