ECO2 Forests Turns to 8x8 Virtual Office Hosted Communications Services to
Support Global Sustainable Forestry Projects

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 6, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For a company like ECO2
Forests (Pink Sheets:ECOF) whose employees often find themselves in the middle
of a jungle rather than an office building, conducting day to day business
activities like meetings, conference calls and routine correspondence with the
outside world seemed like an insurmountable challenge. Not so anymore, according
to Founder and President Martin Tindall who recently selected 8x8, Inc.
(Nasdaq:EGHT) to provide the company with hosted VoIP (Voice over Internet
Protocol) business phone service and other communications tools he and his
colleagues can access from a variety of platforms, including their iPhone mobile
handset.

A progressive international forestation company focused on sustainable
reforestation, afforestation and avoided deforestation projects for the
generation and sale of sustainable lumber (timber) and carbon credits to global
markets, ECO2 Forests is in the midst of executing its Global Forestry Plan -- a
managed approach to creating a network of Kiri Tree forests in various locations
around the world. Tindall, who divides his time between corporate offices in
Queensland, Australia and Sacramento, California, along with numerous other
locations he's scouting for development at any given time, relies on his iPhone
for email, web access and now, enterprise quality phone service that's connected
to the company's 8x8 Virtual Office hosted PBX business phone solution.

"The communications capabilities available throughout our entire worldwide
organization with the 8x8 Virtual Office Pro service are invaluable," says
Tindall. "Previously, things were fragmented because the geographically
dispersed nature of our business led to the use of disparate, regionally based
services. But 8x8's solution brings everything together in one central web-based
location. Not only are we connected under the same corporate phone system and
communications portal, but now all of our employees with iPhones can use the
features and calling capabilities of the Virtual Office phone service remotely
and seamlessly."

8x8 Virtual Office Pro offers businesses like ECO2 Forests an integrated set of
feature rich phone, fax, video web conferencing, call recording and other
productivity enhancing communications tools accessible from any web browser. The
Virtual Office Mobile application included in the Virtual Office Pro bundle lets
iPhone and iPod Touch users place and receive calls over the 3G network or any
Wi-Fi zone using their Virtual Office phone number and service, offering
convenience and savings on both cellular monthly calling plans and international
overseas calling.

"With 8x8, we're not only getting best in class service, support and
accompanying cost-savings, we're also implementing a software-based solution
that has little environmental impact due to the minimal hardware requirements
and the use of video web conferencing as an alternative to face to face business
meetings," said Tindall.

By the end of 2011, Tindall expects to have ten locations in the United States,
Australia and several other foreign countries. And, he says, using 8x8 services
will enable the company to quickly equip new employees with the vital
communications tools his business has come to rely. At the same time, ECO2
Forests will be enjoying big savings on international calling with 8x8's low
overseas per minute rates.
