San Francisco, CA  (June 2, 2009) – Today, telecom innovator sipgate (www.sipgate.com) is launching a new, free phone service that has the ability to replace most of the nation’s 100 million landlines.  The new service, called sipgate one, operates over your Internet connection and offers a fully-featured phone service, complete with a free telephone number, no set-up costs and no monthly charges or minimums.

sipgate is extremely flexible and works with your favorite phone, including standard analog phones, mobile phones or VoIP phones. When using a VoIP phone, calls to other sipgate users are completely free (like Skype)  and so is receiving calls on the free U.S. phone number sipgate one comes with (unlike Skype).  Calls to the U.S. and Canada are just 1.9¢* per minute.
