    Business Editors/High-Tech Editors

    FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 12, 2005--

New Service Offers Travelers Easy-to-Use Integrated Roaming - Without High Roaming Fees
    GlobalRoam, a Singapore-based provider of integrated Internet and communications roaming services, has selected Open Access(TM) technology (www.nmscommunications.com/OpenAccess) from NMS Communications (NASDAQ: NMSS) as the underlying architecture upon which to build its new worldwide roaming service for international travelers.
    Targeted at business travelers from any country who require constant contact with associates while abroad, GlobalRoam provides an alternative to the high fees traditionally associated with international communications roaming services. GlobalRoam offers its users hassle-free and convenient roaming with an integrated suite of communications services at an attractive price. With GlobalRoam, travelers now have access to the Internet, fixed line international direct dialing (IDD), mobile roaming services, mobile conferencing, and even web calling services under one integrated account, no matter where they go.
    To develop its network, GlobalRoam has been working with a group of affiliate partners that currently includes telecom service providers and ASPs in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. These affiliates provide GlobalRoam's service to both their existing customer base as well as selling to new customers and other markets. GlobalRoam's direct customers are charged on a pay-per-use basis, while affiliate billing structures may vary. However, GlobalRoam's chief goal is to provide all end users with cost-saving benefits when compared to traditional communications roaming services, as it allows users to avoid the high international/cross-border roaming fees typically charged.
    NMS' Open Access platform facilitates voice, fax and data processing for the GlobalRoam proprietary roaming engine and the computer database system in GlobalRoam's overall management infrastructure, enabling the seamless Internet and Communications integration for which GlobalRoam is recognized.
    "We selected NMS' Open Access products because of their scalability & flexibility," said Clarence Tan, CEO, GlobalRoam Pte Ltd. "We have been using NMS' Open Access and platforms products for many years, so it was logical that we build the GlobalRoam product on the solid foundation we've come to expect and trust from NMS."
