wall jack, users are able to call from one InfoTalk to another InfoTalk anywhere in the world, without
incurring any long distance charges! Now with InfoTalk 3.0, users can place low-cost, high-quality calls
anywhere in over 200 countries, anytime thanks to the InnoSphere global IP telephony service.

touching a few control buttons. Upon command, each InfoTalk device will automatically connect to the
Internet and upgrade itself with Version 3.0 from InnoMedia's server. InfoTalk 3.0 is available for immediate
