Hawaiian Telcom introduces new service bundle

News Release

Hawaiian Telcom Introduces New Bundle:

Local, Long Distance, High-Speed Internet and Wireless

HONOLULU – Hawaiian Telcom already offers the broadest range of communications products and solutions in the islands, and today the company is unveiling a new service bundle that gives customers local, unlimited long distance, High-Speed Internet and wireless service for less than $100 per month.

The announcement marks the first time such a comprehensive package has been offered in Hawaii and will mean additional savings for customers. Hawaiian Telcom's myChoicesm Wireless bundle offers savings of about $120 annually on wireless services on top of the $200 annual savings on the original bundle of local, long-distance and High-Speed Internet services that was introduced last year.

"We're proud and incredibly excited to be leading the market in unveiling this bundle in Hawaii and to offer additional savings to our customers who seek the best value in communications," said Michael McHale, Chief Marketing Officer. "Hawaiian Telcom will continue to stir up competition because it keeps all providers on top of their game and ultimately benefits our customers."

Customers who choose the myChoice Wireless bundle will get $10 per month off regular wireless rates on qualifying plans of $39.99 per month and above. Later this year, customers will receive a single bill for all services.

Hawaiian Telcom also gives customers who have both wireline and wireless service additional bonus wireless minutes each month.

"Our bundle customers can get 1,000 wireless minutes for under $30 a month with no contract and a free phone," said Jon Gelman, Vice President of Wireless Operations & Development. "They can also receive our new Call Choicesm Visual Voicemail service free. It's simply the best deal in town."

Launched last month, Call Choicesm Visual Voicemail lets users get a copy of their voicemail messages via e-mail. This lets customers sort, play, forward or save voicemail messages on their computers. They can also quickly respond to a voicemail from their computer with a text message or even initiate a call back. This unique and innovative service is also available to customers of other major wireless providers. Customers can sign up for a free three-month trial at www.callchoice.com <www.callchoice.com/> .

To order the myChoice Wireless bundle, please call 643-0800 or visit a Hawaiian Telcom retail store (locations and hours available at www.hawaiiantel.com <www.hawaiiantel.com" target="_blank">www.hawaiiantel.com/> ).
