Internet-Based Video Phone and Flat Rate Calling Plans Bring Friends and Family Together for the Holidays for Less than the Cost of Traditional Residential Phone Service

TREVOSE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- WorldGate (OTCBB: WGAT.OB), a leading provider of digital voice and video services and next generation Ojo-branded digital video phones, today announced that its flagship Ojo Vision product will be featured in the 2010 WIRED Store in New York City. Holiday shoppers can now experience the new Ojo Vision digital video phone at WIRED’s annual WIRED Store in New York City for six weeks beginning November 19 through December 26, 2010.

“In today’s world, family and friends are oftentimes separated by thousands of miles, and the inability to see each other face-to-face is magnified during the holiday season,” said George E. Daddis, CEO of WorldGate Communications. “The Ojo Vision digital video phone easily overcomes this separation with affordable and revolutionary new technology that brings families and friends together by simply dialing a phone. We are proud to be a part of the 2010 WIRED Store, and our team is committed to sharing this important news and uniting family and loved ones for the holidays, and every day thereafter.”

The Ojo Vision digital voice and video phone replaces traditional home phone service with true-to-life high quality video and a full suite of popular VoIP telephony features, including voicemail, caller ID, virtual phone number, and unlimited voice and video calling. All that is required is a high-speed Internet connection and subscribers can either select a new phone number from area codes across the U.S. or transfer their existing phone number to get started. Calling plans include unlimited voice calling (US, Canada and PR) and unlimited Ojo to Ojo video calling for only $29.99/month.
