U.S. Troops in Iraq Get Discounted Phone Calls Home on Father's Day Under New Segovia Offer.

HERNDON, Va. -- Segovia Cuts Rates for U.S. Military Personnel Making Calls from Iraq -- One Dollar Buys 20 Minutes of Calling Time

Segovia, Inc., a leading provider of secure global voice, data, and video broadband satellite services to the U.S. military, announced that for Father's

Day, June 19, it will reduce rates for telephone calls on its network from Iraq by 25 percent, to just three cents per minute. Segovia's rate is a small fraction of the 50 cents per minute or more currently being charged by other U.S. telecommunications providers operating in Iraq.

"We understand how important it is for military personnel to stay in touch with loved ones, especially during holidays," Segovia Executive Vice President Kirby Farrell. "During Mother's Day weekend for example, troops stationed in Iraq placed more than 100,000 calls using our telephone network. We also recognize that every dollar counts and for Father's Day, Segovia will enable military personnel in Iraq to make calls at a considerable discount."

The three cents per minute rate applies to all calls made between 12:00 AM (BAT/UTC +4) and 11:59 PM (BAT/UTC +4) on June 19.

Last month, Segovia's voice over IP (VoIP) network supported nearly 1.5 million phone calls and 19 million minutes of calling time from 180 Internet cafes throughout Iraq. Segovia's global IP satellite network also enables troops to exchange e-mails via broadband Internet connections. For U.S. troops wanting to stay connected with friends and family, Segovia is an important link that provides secure, reliable, cost-effective telephone service.

"We have made it our mission to offer a low-cost way for military personnel in Iraq to stay in touch with their loved ones," Farrell said. "Segovia's online purchasing makes it fast and easy for military personnel and their families and friends to buy calling time. We offer far better value and convenience than calling cards, which as any soldier will tell you are often lost, damaged or stolen."
