IF YOU WOULD LIKE ADDITIONAL COPIES OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL OR ANY OF THE OTHER OFFERING DOCUMENTS, YOU SHOULD CONTACT BILL ULREY, VICE PRESIDENT–INVESTOR RELATIONS AND EXTERNAL AFFAIRS OF IDT, AT 973-438-3838.
 
You have received this Letter of Transmittal in connection with the offer by IDT Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“IDT”), to exchange each share of IDT common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), from the holders thereof (the “Holders”) for one share of IDT Class B common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Class B Stock”), as described in the Offer to Exchange, dated December 2, 2010 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Exchange” and, together with this Letter of Transmittal, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Exchange Offer”).

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, IDT will issue up to 3,728,654 shares of Class B Stock (“Class B Shares”) in exchange for up to 3,728,654 shares of Common Stock (“Common Shares”), representing all of the outstanding Common Shares, to the extent such shares are properly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Exchange Offer. For a more detailed description of the Class B Stock IDT is proposing to issue in the Exchange Offer, please see the section of the Offer to Exchange titled “Description of Class B Stock.” The Exchange Offer is open to all Holders and is subject to customary conditions. Subject to applicable securities laws and the terms set forth in the Offer to Exchange, IDT reserves the right to waive any and all conditions to the Exchange Offer.
 
You should use this Letter of Transmittal to deliver to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Exchange Agent”) Common Shares represented by stock certificates, or held in book-entry form on the books of IDT, for tender. If you are delivering your Common Shares by book-entry transfer to an account maintained by the Exchange Agent at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), you must use an Agent’s Message (as defined in Instruction 2 below). In this Letter of Transmittal, stockholders who deliver certificates representing their Common Shares are referred to as “Certificate Stockholders,” and stockholders who deliver their Common Shares through book-entry transfer are referred to as “Book-Entry Stockholders.” Please note that on February 24, 2009, IDT carried out a 1-for-3 reverse stock split of each share of its Common Stock, Class B Stock and Class A common stock.   If you are holding a stock certificate representing Common Shares prior to the 1-for-3 reverse stock split, such Common Shares will be reverse split on a 1-for-3 basis prior to the issuance of Class B Shares.
 
If certificates for your Common Shares are not immediately available or you cannot deliver your certificates and all other required documents to the Exchange Agent prior to the Expiration Date or you cannot complete the book-entry transfer procedures prior to the Expiration Date, you may nevertheless tender your Common Shares according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the section of the Offer to Exchange titled “Terms of the Exchange Offer — Procedures for Tendering — Guaranteed Delivery.” See Instruction 2 below. Delivery of documents to DTC will not constitute delivery to the Exchange Agent.

Subject to applicable securities laws and the terms set forth in the Offer to Exchange, IDT reserves the right to waive any and all conditions to the Exchange Offer.
 
On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer (including, if the Exchange Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of such extension or amendment), subject to, and effective upon, acceptance for exchange and exchange for the Common Shares validly tendered herewith, and not properly withdrawn, prior to the Expiration Date (unless the tender is made during a subsequent offering period (as set forth in the Offer to Exchange), if one is provided, in which case the Common Shares, the Letter of Transmittal and other documents must be accepted for exchange and validly tendered, and not properly withdrawn, prior to the expiration of the subsequent offering period) in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer, the undersigned hereby tenders, sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, IDT, all right, title and interest in and to all of the Common Shares being tendered hereby.  In addition, the undersigned hereby irrevocably appoints American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Exchange Agent”) the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact and proxy of the undersigned with respect to such Common Shares with full power of substitution (such proxies and power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest in the tendered shares) to the full extent of such stockholder’s rights with respect to such Common Shares (a) to deliver certificates representing Common Shares (the “Share Certificates”), or transfer of ownership of such Common Shares on the account books maintained by DTC, together, in either such case, with all accompanying evidence of transfer and authenticity, to or upon the order of IDT, (b) to present such Common Shares for transfer on the books of IDT, and (c) to receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such Common Shares, all in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer.
 
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the Common Shares, and to acquire Class B Shares issuable upon the exchange of such tendered Common Shares, and that, when the same are accepted for exchange, IDT will acquire good and unencumbered title to such Common Shares, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claim when the same are accepted by IDT. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned is the registered owner of the Common Shares, or the Share Certificate(s) have been endorsed to the undersigned in blank, or the undersigned is a participant in DTC whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of the Common Shares. The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Exchange Agent or IDT to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the Common Shares tendered hereby.
 
It is understood that the undersigned will not receive any Class B Shares in exchange for the Common Shares unless and until the Common Shares are accepted for exchange and until the Share Certificate(s) owned by the undersigned are received by the Exchange Agent at the address set forth above, together with such additional documents as the Exchange Agent may require, or, in the case of Common Shares held in book-entry form, ownership of Common Shares is validly transferred on the account books maintained by DTC, and until the same are processed for exchange by the Exchange Agent.
 
IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF THE COMMON SHARES, THE SHARE CERTIFICATE(S) AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING DELIVERY THROUGH DTC) IS AT THE OPTION AND RISK OF THE UNDERSIGNED AND THAT THE RISK OF LOSS OF SUCH COMMON SHARES, SHARE CERTIFICATE(S) AND OTHER DOCUMENTS SHALL PASS ONLY AFTER THE EXCHANGE AGENT HAS ACTUALLY RECEIVED THE COMMON SHARES OR SHARE CERTIFICATE(S) (INCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF A BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER, BY BOOK-ENTRY CONFIRMATION (AS DEFINED BELOW)).  IF DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ALL SUCH DOCUMENTS BE SENT BY PROPERLY INSURED REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED.  IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.

INSTRUCTIONS
Forming Part of the Terms and Conditions of the Exchange Offer
 
1)  Guarantee of Signatures.  Except as otherwise provided below, all signatures on this Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by a financial institution (including most commercial banks, savings and loan associations and brokerage houses) that is a member in good standing of a recognized Medallion Program approved by the Securities Transfer Association, Inc., including the Security Transfer Agents Medallion Program, the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program and the Stock Exchanges Medallion Program (each, an “Eligible Institution”). Signatures on this Letter of Transmittal need not be guaranteed (a) if this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered owner(s) (which term, for purposes of this document, includes any participant in any of DTC’s systems whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of the Common Shares) of Common Shares tendered herewith and such registered owner has not completed the box titled “Special Issuance Instructions” or the box titled “Special Delivery Instructions” on this Letter of Transmittal or (b) if such Common Shares are tendered for the account of an Eligible Institution. See Instruction 5.
 
2) Delivery of Letter of Transmittal and Certificates or Book-Entry Confirmations.  This Letter of Transmittal is to be completed by stockholders if Share Certificates are to be forwarded herewith.  If tenders are to be made pursuant to the procedures for tender by book-entry transfer set forth in the section of the Offer to Exchange titled “Terms of the Exchange Offer — Procedures for Tendering,” an Agent’s Message must be utilized. A manually executed facsimile of this document may be used in lieu of the original. Share Certificates representing all physically tendered Common Shares, or confirmation of any book-entry transfer into the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC of Common Shares tendered by book-entry transfer (“Book Entry Confirmation”), as well as this Letter of Transmittal properly completed and duly executed with any required signature guarantees, or an Agent’s Message in the case of a book-entry transfer, and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the Exchange Agent at its address set forth herein prior to the Expiration Date (unless the tender is made during a subsequent offering period, if one is provided, in which case the Common Shares, the Letter of Transmittal and other documents must be received prior to the expiration of the subsequent offering period) (as set forth in the Offer to Exchange). Please do not send your Share Certificates directly to IDT.
 
Stockholders whose Share Certificates are not immediately available or who cannot deliver all other required documents to the Exchange Agent prior to the Expiration Date or who cannot complete the procedures for book-entry transfer prior to the Expiration Date may nevertheless tender their Common Shares by properly completing and duly executing a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedure set forth in the section of the Offer to Exchange titled “Terms of the Exchange Offer — Procedures for Tendering — Guaranteed Delivery.” Pursuant to such procedure: (a) such tender must be made by or through an Eligible Institution, (b) a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery substantially in the form provided by IDT must be received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Expiration Date (or prior to the expiration of the subsequent offering period, as applicable), and (c) Share Certificates representing all tendered Common Shares, in proper form for transfer (or a Book Entry Confirmation with respect to such Common Shares), this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), properly completed and duly executed with any required signature guarantees (or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agent’s Message), and all other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, if any, must be received by the Exchange Agent within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the date of execution of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.
 
A properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof) must accompany each such delivery of Share Certificates to the Exchange Agent.
 
The term “Agent’s Message” means a message, transmitted through electronic means by DTC to, and received by, the Exchange Agent and forming part of a Book-Entry Confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in DTC tendering the Common Shares which are the subject of such Book-Entry Confirmation that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Letter of Transmittal and that IDT may enforce such agreement against the participant.  The term “Agent’s Message” also includes any hard copy printout evidencing such message generated by a computer terminal maintained at the Exchange Agent’s office.  For Common Shares to be validly tendered during any subsequent offering period, the tendering stockholder must comply with the foregoing procedures, except that the required documents and certificates must be received before the expiration of the subsequent offering period and no guaranteed delivery procedure will be available during a subsequent offering period.

DELIVERY OF ALL SUCH DOCUMENTS WILL BE DEEMED MADE AND RISK OF LOSS OF THE SHARE CERTIFICATES SHALL PASS ONLY WHEN ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE EXCHANGE AGENT (INCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF A BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER, BY BOOK-ENTRY CONFIRMATION). IF SUCH DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ALL SUCH DOCUMENTS BE SENT BY PROPERLY INSURED REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.
 
No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted and no fractional Common Shares will be exchanged. All tendering stockholders, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), waive any right to receive any notice of the acceptance of their Common Shares for exchange.
 
All questions as to validity, form and eligibility (including time of receipt) of the surrender of any Share Certificate hereunder, including questions as to the proper completion or execution of any Letter of Transmittal, Notice of Guaranteed Delivery or other required documents and as to the proper form for transfer of any certificate of Common Shares, will be determined by IDT in its sole and absolute discretion (which may delegate power in whole or in part to the Exchange Agent) which determination will be final and binding. IDT reserves the absolute right to reject any and all tenders determined by it not to be in proper form or the acceptance for exchange of or exchange for which may be unlawful.  IDT also reserves the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity in the surrender of any Common Shares or Share Certificate(s) whether or not similar defects or irregularities are waived in the case of any other stockholder. A surrender will not be deemed to have been validly made until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived. IDT and the Exchange Agent shall make reasonable efforts to notify any person of any defect in any Letter of Transmittal submitted to the Exchange Agent.
 
3) Inadequate Space.  If the space provided herein is inadequate, the certificate numbers and/or the number of Common Shares should be listed on a separate schedule attached hereto and separately signed on each page thereof in the same manner as this Letter of Transmittal is signed.
 
4)  Partial Tenders (Applicable to Certificate Stockholders Only).  If fewer than all the Common Shares evidenced by any Share Certificate delivered to the Exchange Agent are to be tendered, fill in the number of Common Shares which are to be tendered in the column titled “Number of Common Shares Tendered” in the box titled “Description of Common Shares Tendered.” In such cases, new certificate(s) for the remainder of the Common Shares that were evidenced by the old certificate(s) but not tendered will be sent to the registered owner, unless otherwise provided in the appropriate box on this Letter of Transmittal, as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date. All Common Shares represented by Share Certificates delivered to the Exchange Agent will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise indicated.
 
5)  Signatures on Letter of Transmittal; Stock Powers and Endorsements.  If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered owner(s) of the Common Shares tendered hereby, the signature(s) must correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of the Share Certificate(s) without alteration or any other change whatsoever.
 
If any Common Shares tendered hereby are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign this Letter of Transmittal.
 
If any tendered Common Shares are registered in the names of different holder(s), it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal (or facsimiles thereof) as there are different registrations of such Common Shares.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered owner(s) of the Common Shares listed and transmitted hereby, no endorsements of Share Certificates or separate stock powers are required unless exchange is to be made to, or Share Certificates representing Common Shares not tendered or accepted for exchange are to be issued in the name of, a person other than the registered owner(s), in which case the Share Certificates representing the Common Shares tendered by this Letter of Transmittal must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case, signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered owner(s) or holder(s) appear(s) on the Share Certificates. Signatures on such Share Certificates or stock powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.
 
If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered owner(s) of the Share(s) listed, the Share Certificate(s) must be endorsed or accompanied by the appropriate stock powers, in either case, signed exactly as the name or names of the registered owner(s) or holder(s) appear(s) on the Share Certificate(s). Signatures on such Share Certificates or stock powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.
 
6) Transfer Taxes.  You will not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in connection with the tender of shares of Common Stock in the Exchange Offer unless you instruct the Exchange Agent to register Class B Shares in the name of, or request that Common Shares not tendered or not accepted in the Exchange Offer be registered in the name of a person other than the registered tendering Holder. In those cases, you will be responsible for the payment of any applicable transfer tax. If satisfactory evidence of payment of these taxes or an exemption from payment is not submitted with this Letter of Transmittal, no shares of Class B Stock will be issued until such evidence is received by the Exchange Agent.
 
Except as provided in this Instruction 6, it will not be necessary for transfer tax stamps to be affixed to the Share Certificates listed in this Letter of Transmittal.
 
7) Special Issuance and Delivery Instructions.  If Class B Shares are to be issued, and/or Share Certificates representing Common Shares not tendered or accepted for exchange are to be issued or returned to, a person other than the signer(s) of this Letter of Transmittal or to an address other than that shown in the box titled “Description of Common Shares Tendered” above, the appropriate boxes on this Letter of Transmittal should be completed. Stockholders delivering Common Shares tendered hereby or by Agent’s Message by book-entry transfer may request that Common Shares not accepted for exchange be credited to an account maintained at DTC as such stockholder may designate in the box titled “Special Issuance Instructions” herein. If no such instructions are given, all such Common Shares not accepted for exchange will be returned by crediting the same account at DTC as the account from which such Common Shares were delivered.
