SAN DIEGO, Oct. 16, 2012 -- Zero Call Free(TM) enables customers to make free
calls from their mobile phones to the US, and to more than 60 listed
countries inside and outside Europe, including China and Canada. If the
customer wants to call countries that are not listed, they simply
utilize Zero Call Out(TM) by installing Zapna's paper-thin SIM card
directly on top of the customer's existing SIM card. This patented
device and service allows customers throughout Germany to lower their
cost for international calls substantially (up to 90%) without changing
their current carrier or mobile phone plan.

"Germany has a high concentration of long distance phone needs, making
it an excellent market for our services," stated Omair Khan, founder of
Zapna. "With Zero Call Free(TM), Germans can now make free calls to 60
countries and keep their existing mobile subscription."

"Individuals and businesses inside Germany make more international
phone calls than the rest of the EU countries combined," noted VelaTel
CEO George Alvarez. "Because Zero Call Free(TM) is simple to set up,
easy to use, and carries a 'no obligation - no subscription' policy, we
expect to be Skype's fiercest competitor."

Based on Zapna's successful footholds in Sweden, Norway, Finland,
Spain, and Denmark, Zapna expects to reach more than 100,000 new
customers in the lucrative German market within the next 12 months, and
to reach one million total users by 2015.
