My Net Fone claims 35,000 paying VoIP customers E-mail

VoIP provider My Net Fone (ASX: MNF) says it had more than 35,000 paying customers at 30 June 2007, an increase of 5000 in June alone. It is also in the process of raising an additional $1 million in equity.

My Net Fone's main rival, Engin (ASX: ENG), has not yet released end of financial year numbers. At the end of February it claimed 58,000 paying customers, up from 52,500 at 31 December 2006. If it has maintained this rate of growth over the past four months it will now have about 69,000. However it has been promoting itself aggressively and as interest in and uptake of VoIP is growing, Engin's growth rate is likely to have increased.

My Net Fone says it has used the increased scale and buying power enabled by its growth to add value to its MegaSaver offering – adding 100 local & national calls at no charge.

The company has announced plans to raise an additional $1 million in equity: $0.5 million from private investors through the issue of 2,777,778 ordinary shares at $0.18 per share and 5,555,556 attaching options at $0.25, expiring 30th April 2009, and another $0.5 million on the same terms from Symbio Networks, subject to shareholder approval, through a debt for equity conversion. This will eliminate all My Net Fone's debt to Symbio.

My Net Fone says proceeds from the placement will provide additional working capital "to continue the accelerating rate of customer sign-ups to the MyNetFone service."

Symbio Networks provides the VoIP platform on which My Net Fone operates its services and the two companies have common founding shareholders and directors in Andy Fung and Rene Sugo.{moscomment}
