VoX and 1-800-FLOWERS.COM® Partner to Make Love Connection with Valentine's Day VoIP Promotion

Low Prices, Great Features and Roses — Designed to Take the Long Distance Out of Long-distance Relationships!

CELEBRATION, Fla. and CARLE PLACE, NY, February 6 – VoX Communications Corp., a division of eLEC Communications Corp. (OTCBB: ELEC), and 1-800-FLOWERS.COM®, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLWS), today announced a Voice over IP (VoIP) Valentine's Day promotion designed to take the long distance out of long-distance relationships.

VoX, a wholesale and retail provider of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services nationwide, provides unlimited calling across the U.S. and Canada for $29.95 — a price that includes advanced features such as voicemail, conferencing, caller ID and more. As part of the VoX and 1-800-FLOWERS.COM® “Love Connection“ promotion, those who sign up for the service before February 28, 2006 using the special offer code LOVE will receive a $40 gift certificate to 1-800-FLOWERS.COM®, a leading multi-channel retailer of thoughtful gifts for all occasions. They'll also receive a second line free for one year. The second line, which includes 200 anytime minutes each month, makes a great fax line.

VoX's digital phone service works with a standard telephone and broadband internet connection. Customers enjoy more features for less money, excellent quality, and the flexibility to manage their account information and personal preferences online. The VoX and 1-800-FLOWERS.COM® “Love Connection“ promotion is applicable to VoX's Unlimited calling plan. The promotion will be co-marketed by both companies throughout the month of February.

“People with far away loved ones can incur some hefty phone charges. In the spirit of Valentine's Day, VoX hopes to change that,“ said VoX's CIO Mark Richards. “In addition to unlimited calls within the U.S. and Canada, we offer significant savings on international calls — as low as $4.95 for 300 minutes across 34 popular countries. It's a deal that's hard to beat.“

“We're thrilled to work with VoX on this exciting partnership for Valentine's,“ said Jim McCann, CEO of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM ® “With VoX's ability to connect customers verbally with the ones they love, and our ability to connect them emotionally through our fantastic floral and non-floral gifts, this partnership offers the ultimate “Love Connection“ for everyone.”
