COLTS NECK, N.J., July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- WPI Group Inc., a NJ-based
corporation, has launched a unique service, 888atindia.com, to enable
immigrants from India to be in touch with their families in India, for a price
as low as US$19.95 per month. This allows both families in India and the
United States to make calls to each other as though they were making a local
call.

WPI Group has partnered with its affiliate World Phone in India to bring this
service to its customers. World Phone will install and support the Internet
telephony connections in India. This is the distinguishing aspect of this
service, as most families outside the USA consist of elderly parents, who are
alone and not very technologically savvy. So on-site installation and on-site
support is provided to them, making  the service easy to use -- as if they
were using a regular landline number.

The 888atindia.com service is fully loaded with free voicemail, caller ID,
3-way calling, call forwarding and many other features. A complete list of
features is available at 888atindia.com.

The beauty lies in the simplicity of the service. A US resident subscribes and
pays for the service through the website. The service is then delivered to his
family in India as a gift -- installed and support provided. The family in
India is even taught how to set up and retrieve voicemails, since this is not
a common feature in many phones in India.

The family in India is now able to call friends and relatives in the USA and
Canada without payment of any extra fees. Similarly, the US resident is able
to call his family on the 888atindia.com connection from ANY phone, as if it
were a local call.

Aditya Ahluwalia, President, WPI Group, said, "Our focus has always been the
customer and new products based on customer needs. Though this product cannot
replace personal contact, it is our hope that families can now make unlimited
calls to each other -- grandparents, children, uncles and aunts -- without
breaking the bank, at a low fixed cost with no surprises. A similar product
for immigrants from Bolivia is planned next. Thereafter, we may launch similar
products for other immigrant markets as well."

WPI Group was established in 1984 and over the last 15 years has worked in
countries as diverse as Ukraine, Poland, Guatemala and Indonesia. The company
has a strong history of quality performance, specializing in international
calls, and has an international client base that includes companies like IDT
Corp., Teleglobe and AT&T.
