IDT Corporation Reports Over 99% of Long Distance Customers Have Full Service Following Attack on World Trade Center

NEWARK, N.J. – September 21, 2001 – IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT, IDT.B) today announced that of its approximately 400,000 long distance customers, there were reported outages on about 1,600 lines following the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center. This represents less than one percent of IDT’s long distance lines. Those lines are among 20,000 operated by the company in the immediate area of the attack.

IDT is continuing to work with other carriers to restore all its customers to full service. It is also making special efforts to accommodate those still experiencing difficulties.

To allow affected customers to continue to use IDT’s long distance service, the company is expediting a special calling card system. Customers who request this temporary arrangement will be able to make calls directly through the IDT network using an account number and PIN at the regular 5¢ a minute, state-to-state rate instead of the usual 10¢ calling card charge.

In addition, IDT’s calling card division reported that its 15 million customers experienced no disruption in their service as a result of the attack, despite a massive surge in usage by concerned family members, rescue workers, and others across the United States.

“The events of September 11 affected us all, both emotionally and practically,” said Howard Jonas, IDT’s Chairman. “Long distance communications is an essential service, particularly during national emergencies. That’s why our people have been working tirelessly to make sure our customers experience as few disruptions as possible.”

“We’re also doing our part to support relief efforts,” Jonas said. He noted that the IDT Glatt Kosher Soup Van, which normally distributes food for the homeless at churches and other centers near the company’s Newark, New Jersey, headquarters, has been making trips every day, including weekends, to New York with Kosher deli sandwiches and beverages for rescue workers. On each trip more than six-hundred lunches are delivered.

“Constantly loading the van and making so many trips to New York is a lot more work than any of us expected when we set out to feed the homeless,” said Miya Ali, IDT’S Manager of Community Relations. “But when you see the determination on the faces of the rescue workers, it’s an honor to play even a small part in what they’re doing.”

In addition to distributing food, the company is making more than $1 million available to charities engaged in relief efforts through employee matching grants. For every employee contribution to one of those charities, IDT will donate a matching amount up to $500.

“Times like these bring us together, both as citizens and as co-workers,” said Jim Courter, IDT President and CEO. “From the huge American flag we’ve placed on the side of our building facing lower Manhattan to the efforts we’ re making to help those of our customers affected by the attack, we at IDT are doing all we can to aid in the recovery and rebuilding that lies ahead.”

“It’s a great pleasure to welcome Roberto Muller to the Board of IDT Ventures,” said Howard Jonas, IDT’s Chairman. “He is without question a true visionary in using the media to reach consumers in ways that have great meaning to their lives.”

Muller has spent nearly 30 years as a leader and innovator in sports and product marketing. He founded PONY Sports and Leisure in 1975, developing footwear and apparel for top professional athletes and college teams. In 1992, he became President of Reebok International, and soon transformed Reebok from a primarily women’s fitness brand into a diversified performance sports brand able to compete successfully with international giants Nike and adidas.

Roberto Muller and his team, in partnership with Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst, saw the opportunities and created a Hicks, Muse-owned Latin American sports and media platform, featuring Pan-american Sports Network (PSN), a 24-hour, all sports cable and satellite digital television network, and PSN.com.

His efforts fit in perfectly with IDT Ventures’s plans to create more and better ways for consumer marketers to reach the growing American Hispanic community,” said Charles Garner, CEO of IDT Ventures.

“Roberto Muller turned his love of sports into outstanding success in business,” said Jim Courter, Vice Chairman and President of IDT Corporation. “He has time and again demonstrated his ability to create product value for all consumers as well as sports enthusiasts and members of the Hispanic community. We’re delighted to have him join the many other distinguished individuals now on IDT’s various Boards of Directors.”

IDT Introduces New Low Rate

NEWARK, NJ— June 12, 2001 – IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT) today announced the successful launch of its new international calling plan which effectively cuts the Company’s already competitive overseas rates by an average of 30% to more than 200 countries around the world. IDT is a leading facilities-based multinational telecommunications carrier. The Company also announced its new 5-cents-a-minute rate to anywhere in Canada, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from anywhere in the continental United States.

“The new international rate plan is an important and strategic move for us, since many of the people who use other IDT services are frequent international callers,” said Howard Jonas, IDT’s Chairman and CEO. “Now we are able to build and deepen our relationships with international customers by securing their domestic long distance and offering them significant savings on international long distance and other IDT services.”

IDT’s new 5-cents-a-minute rate to Canada is available immediately to all IDT Long Distance subscribers for no additional fee. Its new International plan, introduced on March 26th, 2001, is available to customers enrolled in IDT’s flat-rate residential long distance service for an additional $2.00 a month. Alternatively, the company offers a no-fee plan at just 6.9 cents-a-minute domestically which includes the aggressive international rates. This plan requires a $10 monthly minimum.

The new international plan features 5 cents-a minute to Canada, 8-cents-a-minute calling to Australia and Hong Kong, 9-cents-a-minute to Japan, and rates as low as 7-cents-a-minute to some of the most frequently called countries in Europe. These rates represent dramatic savings to overseas callers, and are as much as 70% below the lowest rates offered by the big three long distance companies.

The strength and scale of IDT’s core wholesale telecom operations enable the Company to successfully negotiate and secure the lowest possible domestic and international rates in the industry and pass these rates on in the form of dramatic savings to its long distance customers. Increases in international Long Distance traffic should benefit significantly IDT’s bottom line since, frequent international callers represent a higher revenue, higher margin, and a recurring customer base. Also, international callers are an ideal audience for marketing IDT’s other telecommunications products and services geared toward overseas callers and frequent business travelers.

“Our new international calling plan is more solid proof of how IDT is aggressively working to bring the highest quality communication products and services at the lowest possible cost to an ever increasing segment of the market,” said Jim Courter, President of IDT. “IDT has injected a well-needed shot of adrenaline into an industry that had become bogged down in high overhead, inefficient legacy systems and a marketplace lacking competitive energy.”

IDT introduced its flat-rate residential Long Distance service in February 2000. Since its launch just over a year ago, the service has attracted 400,000 subscribers and is currently enrolling thousands of new customers a day. IDT’s long distance service features interstate calling rates of 5-cents-a-minute to most places in the continental United States, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This is one of the most competitive plans in the country and is available in most areas across the nation.

After his retirement from Congress in 1989, he served for four years as Secretary for Housing and Urban Development under President George H. Bush, and authored the Enterprise Zones legislation to encourage entrepreneurship and job creation in urban America. In 1995, Mr. Kemp served as Chairman of the National Commission on Economic Growth and Tax Reform and in August 1996 received the Republican Party’s nomination for Vice President.

Jack Kemp is currently co-director of Empower America, a Washington, D.C.-based public policy and advocacy organization he co-founded in 1993 with William Bennett and Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick. He continues to campaign nationally for reform of taxation, Social Security and education, and dedicates his private enterprise and venture capital activities to enhancing the growth of leading technology and manufacturing companies.

“IDT is a dynamic, rapidly-growing company with a promising future in the telecommunications industry,” Congressman Kemp remarked. “I am looking forward to a very productive and challenging experience working with IDT Ventures.”

Jack Kemp is the most recent addition to a growing cadre of prominent business leaders and political figures joining IDT’s various Boards of Directors. On March 28th, former U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) was appointed to the Board of IDT Telecom, a division encompassing the Company’s core telecommunications business.

“The outstanding individuals that IDT has added to its Boards of Directors in recent months is a clear indication of IDT’s commitment to becoming the world’s leading telecommunications company,” said Jim Courter, Vice Chairman and President of IDT. “It was a privilege working closely with Jack during our years together in Congress.

IDT Corporation Appoints Senator Frank R. Lautenberg to Board of Directors of IDT Telecom

NEWARK, N.J. – March 28, 2001 – IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT) is pleased to announce the appointment of Former United States Senator Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ) to the Board of Directors of IDT Telecom, encompassing the Company’s core telecom business. IDT is a leading facilities-based multinational telecommunications carrier.

“We are very honored to be welcoming Frank Lautenberg to the Board of IDT Telecom,” said Howard Jonas, IDT’s Chairman and CEO. “Senator Lautenberg’s considerable experience and visionary leadership in both business and politics will be a great asset to IDT as it develops new products and technologies and seeks out promising new investment opportunities.”

Born in Paterson, New Jersey, Senator Lautenberg served in the U.S. Army and then attended Columbia University on the G.I. Bill, graduating with a degree in economics. Joining with two childhood friends, Frank Lautenberg helped found payroll services provider Automatic Data Processing and served as the company’s Chairman and CEO from 1975 to 1982. Under his bold entrepreneurial leadership, ADP grew into one of the largest independent computing services firms in the world.

Having established himself as a leading figure in the business world, Senator Lautenberg launched a new career in public service in the early 1980’s. Running for public office for the first time, he was elected to the United States Senate in 1982, a post he held for the next 18 years.

During his three terms in the Senate, Frank Lautenberg built a distinguished record of accomplishment in a variety of policy areas. A strong environmentalist, Lautenberg helped author the Superfund, Clean Air and Safe Drinking Water Acts. As ranking Democratic member of the Senate Budget Committee, he co-authored the Balanced Budget Agreement of 1997 that resulted in the first balanced Federal budget in over three decades. And as a staunch supporter in investing in our nation’s infrastructure, he helped craft the landmark $218 billion transportation bill that was the largest such investment in our country’s history. Senator Lautenberg wrote laws to ban smoking in airplanes, take guns away from spousal abusers and increase the minimum drinking age to 21, enabling our country to save thousands of lives over the past dozen years.

“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with such an exciting, innovative pioneering company,” Senator Lautenberg remarked. “The telecommunications industry is transforming the way we work, live and communicate, and IDT is at the vanguard of this revolution. When I think about IDT, I’m reminded of the early days at ADP as we sought to establish our presence in the world of newly emerging opportunities. I am looking forward to a very productive and challenging experience working with IDT Telecom.”

Frank Lautenberg is the second former United States Senator to join an IDT Board within the past several months. On December 15th, 2000, IDT announced the appointment of former U.S. Senator Paul Laxalt (R-NV) to the Board of Directors of IDT Ventures, a new subsidiary of IDT overseeing the Company’s various telecom and Internet-related development projects.

In October 2000, IDT announced a major corporate restructuring plan. The plan involves more clearly delineating the Company’s various business units and investments into two distinct divisions, IDT Telecom and IDT Ventures and Investments, which will initially be owned by IDT Corporation, a holding company.

“Senator Lautenberg has achieved the highest distinction as both a businessman and a member of the U.S. Senate,” said Jim Courter, President of IDT and a former six-term Congressman from New Jersey. “Frank has a keen understanding of the challenges and potential of technology. IDT Telecom will benefit greatly from his wealth of experience, sharp insight and knowledge of public policy.”
