WorldCell Partners with Verizon Dominicana to Provide Enhanced Global Roaming

Silver Spring, MD (June 8, 2006) – WorldCell, a leading provider of managed wireless services for global voice and data communications, and Verizon Dominicana, the largest communications carrier in the Dominican Republic, have concluded a partnership that enhances Verizon Dominicana’s global roaming capabilities.

“WorldCell is proud to be providing its inter-standard roaming service to Verizon. Together with WorldCell, their global roaming service will be a valuable addition to the Verizon product portfolio,” explains S. Blake Swensrud, WorldCell’s Chief Executive Officer.

WorldCell leverages its GSM operating license, operating platforms and global partnerships to deliver the most advanced and seamless wireless communications services available today on a global scale. The WorldCell platform provides number mapping and accounting conversions that allow CDMA wireless network users to roam on GSM networks internationally. Billing records related to calls made on the foreign GSM system are converted by WorldCell and appear as regular calls on the customers’ monthly statements from their wireless provider. This service gives customers full access to both North America’s superior CDMA coverage and GSM’s broad worldwide coverage footprint while using their regular phone and number.

“Customers of Verizon Dominicana can now roam to virtually any country around the planet, including on GSM networks.  This facility will be very useful to business people and consumers who are traveling to Europe, Latin America and Asia, where GSM networks are prevalent.  We are happy to have found a solution for global roaming from WorldCell,” explained Ariel Tavarez, Verizon Dominicana’s Manager of Roaming Services.
