“connect”.

service offers businesses the flexibility of accessing the Internet from
anywhere - and now we’ve made it even easier for customers to select access
numbers while traveling. Version 3.5 not only provides the largest selection

the tools to help users make the best selection, be it a local or toll-free
number.” Additional enhancements in this release will make it easier for
