As you all know, Tel3Advantage Plans enable Military Personnel to call back USA from the U.S. Military Bases with the domestic rate of 1.9¢/min. Compared to AT&T's and MCI's rate of 5¢/min on a DSN (Defense System Network). They can stay in touch with family and friends when deployed to forward locations, even in Iraq and Afghanistan. This low rate also makes it affordable for families at home in USA to keep in touch with loved ones.

Since, we recently have received positive feedback about our service from Military Personnel in U.S. bases, I wanted to give you an insight of this huge market you might want to target.

• The Military Market is a large, isolated, family-oriented community with disposable income.
• Many service men and women's daily lives are like civilians'. THe regular "on-duty" day is estimated at nine hours.
• Nearly half of all spouses don't work outside of the home, leaving them with free time to participate in 'civilian' activities.
• By targeting active duty personnel and their families, you will reach more than 1.1 million women. There are more than 200,000 women in active duty. Active duty personnel are married to 650,000 female spouses.
• Over 93% have computers and Internet access. Military personnel are active Internet users. Nealy half report spends 1-2 hours on-line each day at home.
• More than 50% of personnel listen to one or more hours of radio per day. Most listening occurs while driving.
• Nearly all domestic personnel have a TV in their household.
• 30% of domestic personnel watch 4-6 hours of TV per day and 76% subscribe to cable television.

Tel3Dialer's new version 1.2 is here! There are couple of exciting new features added that we believe is going to help you a lot;

• Setting up alternative Access Numbers: This was one of the most requested feature and it is now available. You can set up your access number either as a Local Access Number or Toll Free and also change your location based on where you are making the call from. As always, there are no rate differences when using any access number from this App; you set it up once and start dialing directly while enjoying the savings.

• Sync option for Speed Dial lists with iPhone: You've asked and we've listened. We know that many of you have hundreds of people on your contact list and would love to have a kind of "favorites" list on your iPhone just for your international calls that you can easily dial to. You can now use your existing Speed Dial list on your back office in TEL3 and sync it with your iPhone with a touch of a button. If you want to add more friends to your Speed Dial list, it is very easy, just login to your TEL3 account and save your changes. You can again sync your new list on the iPhone. This is yet another significant benefit for iPhone users.

• Pin dialing: This is also handy if you don't want to go to your TEL3 page to update your instant access number. Now you can add your account number and pin directly on the Tel3Dialer App and the App will do the rest as usual.
