XO Communications, Inc. (www.xo.com) announced the nationwide rollout of XOptions® Flex, its industry-leading Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services bundle for businesses. XOptions Flex is now available in 45 major metropolitan markets, which includes more than 1,000 cities nationwide.

XOptions Flex is an integrated VoIP services solution that gives business customers enhanced features, functionality and value for their voice and Internet services, all in one simple package.

It is the industry's first VoIP services bundle for businesses that combines unlimited local and long distance calling, dedicated Internet access and web hosting services for a flat monthly price.

"XOptions Flex offers businesses across the country the most comprehensive and flexible VoIP services bundle," said Craig Collins, vice president of product management at XO Communications.

The service leverages the latest in VoIP technology to provide customers with next generation communications capabilities, such as unlimited voice calling, dynamic bandwidth allocation, voice virtual private networking (VPN), and a simple Administrative Web Portal. With a broadband connection on the XO IP network, it utilizes XO's award-winning national IP network and softswitch technology to carry customers' voice calls more efficiently and cost-effectively than traditional services that rely on the public switched telephone network.

"Businesses are ready to adopt VoIP and take advantage of its ability to more cost-effectively improve communications with customers and among employees," said William Stofega, Research Manager with IDC's Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Services Program.

"We are very pleased with the features, performance and value of XOptions Flex," said Wendi Westbrook, office manager of Alpha Biosciences, a Baltimore-based business specializing in the production of culture media for the biological sciences industries.
