bought SRFX 5/8 on good news. 05/19 10:51 SpectraFAX Announces New Internet Products for ifaxmail.com; SRFX.OB> continuing to do dd on SHRO 05/19 10:51 SpectraFAX Announces New Internet Products for ifaxmail.com; SRFX.OB> SpectraFAX Announces New Internet Products for ifaxmail.com; Introducing Toll Free Fax Numbers and E-Mail to Fax NAPLES, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 19, 1999--Keeping in touch just got a little easier with two new products offered by ifaxmail.com. By registering at the www.ifaxmail.com web site a subscriber can obtain a toll free fax number. Faxes sent to that toll free number will be delivered to the customer's existing e-mail inbox. To accommodate the anticipated demand for different levels of usage, the pricing has four tiers starting at only $3.95 a month. "We are aware of other companies who offer similar products," said Thomas Conwell, CEO of SpectraFAX Corp. (OTC BB:SRFX). "However, the ifaxmail.com toll free number product has several distinct advantages which include no upfront contract to sign, no sign up fee and no separate fax viewer to download. In addition, transmission time is billed in the actual seconds it takes to transmit the documents. For example, if a fax only takes 48 seconds to transmit, then we charge for 48 seconds and not a complete minute. This represents significant savings over the competition." Businesses who have a document that needs to be sent to multiple fax destinations will appreciate the new E-Mail to Fax product offered by ifaxmail.com. They simply send the document to ifaxmail.com in the form of an e-mail message and ifaxmail.com will deliver it to the designated fax destinations. This is ideal for customers who do not have a fax machine or do not want to tie up the resources of their PC by faxing to multiple destinations. There is a three tier pricing plan for E-Mail to Fax, which begins as low as 13 cents a minute. "As a result of the high demand for ifaxmail.com, we are anticipating an increase in revenue and earnings for fiscal year 1999," added Conwell. "Early indications have shown us that these products are fulfilling a need for low cost means of instant communication through the Internet." For more information or to take advantage of the ifaxmail.com products, customers can log on to the web site at www.ifaxmail.com. SpectraFAX Corp. has set up ifaxmail.com as a separate, wholly owned subsidiary headquartered in Naples. ifaxmail.com will utilize Fax Liaison(tm), the turnkey fax server, built and designed by SpectraFAX Corp. to process all of the communications traffic.
