LOWELL, MA, October 19, 2004 - BroadVoice, an innovative provider of broadband phone service, today announced that it has upgraded its Unlimited USA plan and re-named it the Unlimited World plan to reflect the fact that users can now place calls to 21 countries, including the United States, for an unmatched rate of $19.95 a month. Existing Unlimited USA customers are being upgraded to the Unlimited World plan at no charge.

In addition the company introduced its Unlimited World Plus plan which allows customers to make free calls to 35 countries for $24.95 a month.
