PRESS RELEASE

IDT AGREES TO SELL EUROPEAN PREPAID PAYMENT SERVICES BUSINESS TO NEOVIA

NEWARK, New Jersey – 1 Dec 2008: IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT; IDT.C) today announced an agreement to sell its European prepaid payment services business to NEOVIA Financial Plc (“NEOVIA”) (LSE: NEO) for $15.05 million. NEOVIA is an independent, global provider of online payments.

Under the terms of the agreement, NEOVIA will acquire IDT Financial Services Holdings Limited and other assets which together provide prepaid MasterCard® products in the UK market under the “Prime Card” brand. The purchased assets include approximately $10 million in securities held pursuant to regulatory requirements.

The proposed transaction is subject to regulatory approval of the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission and consent of MasterCard®.

Howard Jonas, Chairman of IDT Corporation, said that the acquisition will benefit consumers. “NEOVIA’s considerable resources and expertise will expand the range of financial services available to IDTFS customers while nicely complementing NEOVIA’s existing capabilities.”

“This sale is part of our broader initiative to focus the company’s operations on our core businesses,” said Jim Courter, CEO of IDT Corporation. “We continue to sell and close down businesses that, however promising, do not meet our strategic objectives.”
