Dallas-based ONIT Communications, Inc. (www.ONIT.com), a provider of enhanced Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services to business customers worldwide, announced today it has purchased from Tel West Network Services Corporation (Tel West) select VoIP corporate customers in Texas.

Tel West (www.telwestservices.com), a Seattle-based CLEC, purchased Texas assets from a Denver-based CLEC earlier this year, including a national VoIP product, in a move to expand its facilities-based integrated voice and data network into the Texas market.

"ONIT is a perfect fit for these VoIP business customers," said Jeff Swickard, president of Tel West. "Our primary objective in finding a buyer was ensuring these valued corporate customers would receive personal attention and outstanding quality of service. ONIT has established a reputation for delivering both."

Tel West business customers can expect a seamless transition, according to Kathleen Hanafan, president of ONIT. "ONIT uses the same operational platform so there are no migration issues. In fact, our newest business customers can expect more and better features at lower prices because VoIP is our only business."

ONIT provides business customers a managed IP virtual private network that delivers a comprehensive communications solution, including integrated e-mail and voicemail, online call management, free long-distance service and simplified billing.

Additionally, the company's customized software solution is designed to ensure customers transition from traditional PBX phone service to IP telephony without interrupting day-to-day business operations. ONIT also offers onsite training and maintains a back-up tech support team in each of its major metro markets.

Tel West is a Seattle-based CLEC offering reliable and cost effective voice and data services for customers in major metropolitan markets in Texas and Washington. The company's services include local dial tone, Internet access, Virtual Private Networking (VPN), web hosting, email and integrated voice and data services delivered from Tel West's metropolitan fiber network.

Dallas-based ONIT Communications provides hosted VoIP solutions to business customers worldwide. The company leverages a powerful Internet Protocol (IP) network combined with IP telephony applications and superior service to offer integrated, feature- rich voice and data communication services at an affordable price.
