FUSION LAUNCHES BREAK-THROUGH FREE INTERNET PHONE SERVICE

Fusion Creates the Internet Area Code™

Company’s efonica^® Subscribers Worldwide Can Make Free Calls Without Computers

NEW YORK, June 19, 2006 -- Fusion Telecommunications International, Inc. (AMEX: FSN) announced today that it has launched a revolutionary free VoIP service under its global efonica brand. efonica subscribers can now call each other for free using their existing landline or mobile telephone numbers to and from any combination of PC’s, Internet phones and regular telephones (with a simple adapter), connected to a broadband or dial-up Internet connection. To facilitate calls, the Company has developed the worldwide Internet Area Code. Subscribers dial the prefix “10”, then dial familiar phone numbers as they normally would, rather than clicking on user names, as is common with other free VoIP services.

“We believe that the introduction of the worldwide Internet Area Code marks a significant development in the VoIP industry,” said Roger Karam, President of Fusion’s VoIP division. “We’ve simplified the way subscribers call each other. During a brief sign-up process, subscribers register their landline or mobile numbers as their eNumbers, and within seconds, they can call each other for free. They simply dial the Internet Area Code “10” before the eNumber^TM to enjoy high quality voice calls at no cost. It’s that easy, and the call connects immediately. Because efonica supports the current dialing habits of consumers worldwide, customers should adapt to efonica seamlessly.”

Subscribers to the new efonica VoIP services can call each other for free anywhere in the world, regardless of their physical location. The free efonica service includes several premium calling features such as caller ID with name, call waiting, three-way calling, call forwarding, call transfer, call hold and do not disturb. Subscribers can use the service through their PCs by downloading a free computer-based telephone, or “softphone”, from the efonica website, or with one of the many compatible hardware devices that do not require a PC. efonica can be used with broadband, dial-up and wireless Internet connections. Full details of the new service and sign-up procedures are available on the efonica website (www.efonica.com).

According to Matthew Rosen, Fusion’s President and Chief Executive Officer, the Company believes that maintaining consumers’ calling habits will lead to broader worldwide acceptance of its new free service offering. “The service we introduce today avoids many of the flaws found in competitor’s offerings, where consumers have had to compromise on many of the capabilities that landline subscribers have taken for granted for years. We believe efonica employs superior proprietary technology that eliminates the need for a PC and allows subscribers to call each other using their existing phone numbers, which provides for universal accessibility and remarkable ease of use. The transmission quality is exceptional, the architectural design is more secure than other peer-to-peer offerings -- and the basic service plan is free.”

Fusion intends to use its free efonica service to create a worldwide community of subscribers, primarily targeting customers who call internationally. “Rather than competing directly against other VoIP providers such as Skype, Vonage, AOL, Google, MSN and Yahoo, Fusion’s goal is to set itself apart by creating a new free segment in the industry that maintains consumers’ current calling habits and is designed to meet the needs of international calling communities around the world. Although efonica services can be used anywhere, Fusion targets users around the world who have traditionally been underserved and burdened with high calling costs, particularly for international calls. The fact that efonica’s free service works with dial-up is especially relevant in emerging markets worldwide,” continued Mr. Rosen.

The Company initially plans to reach its worldwide target customer base with a global online advertisement campaign, public relations efforts in key regions, viral marketing and its retail distribution partners. Fusion believes that its efonica service will be particularly attractive to consumers in developing countries, who have expensive landline service and limited VoIP calling options. To enhance the communication experience of free subscribers, Fusion will offer efonica Plus -- value-added services for a fee, including voicemail solutions and the ability to call any landline or mobile number throughout the world.

“It has taken us years to build a global VoIP technology platform and establish a significant presence and customer base in key emerging markets around the world,” said Mr. Rosen. “We believe the efonica offering is the next logical step for Fusion, as we build on the foundation we have established, and place ourselves firmly at the center of the global VoIP revolution.”

FUSION FILES PATENT APPLICATION FOR WORLDWIDE INTERNET AREA CODE^TM

Seeks Intellectual Property Protection For Components

Of Its New efonica^® VoIP Service

Internet Area Code Revolutionizes Access to Internet Telephony

NEW YORK, June 20, 2006 -- Fusion Telecommunications International, Inc. (AMEX:FSN) announced today that it has submitted a patent application to seek protection for the creation of the worldwide Internet Area Code^TM, the eNumber^TM, and an automated eNumber ownership verification process. These components of its new VoIP telephone service, which was launched yesterday, are being offered globally under the Company’s efonica brand. Full details of the new service and sign-up procedures are available on the efonica website (www.efonica.com).

“As more consumers move to VoIP to complement or replace their existing landline and mobile phones, we believe the Internet Area Code provides an easy way for consumers to move comfortably between traditional phone and mobile networks and the VoIP network,” said Roger Karam, President of Fusion’s VoIP division.

The Company has chosen “10” as the Internet Area Code, allowing Fusion to recognize calls placed between efonica subscribers. Fusion’s network delivers these calls at a high quality over the worldwide Internet for free.

Fusion’s eNumber concept allows efonica subscribers to register their existing telephone numbers - any landline or mobile number - as their efonica telephone numbers, or ‘eNumbers’. Fusion’s patent-pending system verifies the phone number registered belongs to the subscriber, and then uses this phone number as the subscriber’s eNumber. By way of example, if an efonica subscriber creates an eNumber by registering their phone number of 1-212-555-5555, all other efonica users can call the subscriber for free through the Internet, by simply dialing the Internet Area Code “10”, followed by 1-212-555-5555. This innovative system works from any efonica-registered computer or compatible hardware device connected to the Internet. If the subscriber dials the same number without the Internet Area Code, the call is sent through the traditional landline or mobile network for a small fee.

“We believe our approach to delivering VoIP services is a revolutionary advance in the industry and deserves patent protection. It allows subscribers to call each other from their regular telephones (without the need for a PC), use their existing telephone numbers, and by dialing the Internet Area Code, reach any efonica subscriber worldwide for free” said Matthew Rosen, President & CEO of Fusion. “We believe that maintaining and supporting consumers’ normal calling habits will lead to broader worldwide acceptance of our efonica VoIP service and provide our subscribers with an easy and seamless transition to experiencing the many benefits of VoIP.”
