Connect Telephone & Computer Group Announces Business Communications System Buy Back Program

Companies to Benefit from a New Program Within the Current Technology
Assurance Plan (C-TAP) to Ensure Implementation of Latest Technology

BILLINGS, MT – September 25, 2006 – Connect Telephone & Computer Group http://www.theconnectgroup.com/ ,
an industry leader in telecommunications, announced today that the
company launched the business communications Buy Back Program, a new
component of the Current Technology Assurance Plan (C-TAP).

The Buy
Back Program embedded in C-TAP gives Connect Telephone & Computer Group
the ability to offer cash back to a customer for their existing
communications system. By taking advantage of this unique opportunity,
companies will enjoy all of C-TAP’s benefits, while reinvesting the
money they receive from Connect Telephone & Computer Group and their
strategic partner GreatAmerica Leasing Company, back into their
business.

Since it’s inception in June of 2005, C-TAP has emerged as the
telecommunication industry’s most innovative program. C-TAP ensures
that the telecom and information systems of small to mid-sized companies
remain current. C-TAP encourages companies to incorporate the latest in
technology by giving them the ability to refresh their phone equipment
after 24 months without a change in payment. In addition, new equipment
and applications are installed without labor charges.

Technology can be
added as needed within a fixed cost that can be absorbed by an
organization’s operating budget. Essentially, C-TAP allows continuing
implementation of new technology within a set guideline.
Connect Telephone & Computer Group’s customers on the C-TAP program will
receive numerous benefits. These benefits include unlimited in house
moves and changes, unlimited remote programming, routine software
upgrades and patches, call accounting analysis, storage system and
backup, remote database backup, records and training updates for the
equipment administrator, and an annual audit of connectivity charges.

C-TAP also provides businesses with special customer service provisions
including: priority queuing for adds, moves, changes, dispatch of
service calls, a guarantee of inventory on hand, preferred maintenance,
periodic replacement of handset and station cords, and annual
preventitive maintenance visits.
When companies opt for the Buy Back Program they automatically become a
part of C-TAP. The age of the system will determine the the amount of
cash back they will receive. For example, if a system is 12 months old
Connect Telephone & Computer Group will pay the customer 80% of the
original cost. When the transaction occurs, the customer makes monthly
lease payments reversing the original outlay for system’s large capital
investment. Thus, the customer always keeps their technology current
moving into the future and now they show a fixed cost in their operating
budget from lease payments. In order to qualify for the Buy Back
Program, Connect Telephone & Computer Group’s customers will need to
meet specific criteria including credit approval from GreatAmerica.

"Our goal with C-TAP and the Buy Back Program is to have a proactive
versus reactive relationship with our customers," said Matt Duray, owner
of Connect Telephone & Computer Group. "The addition of the Buy Back
Program provides us with the tools to help achieve our mutual goals.

These goals include providing our customers with the highest level of
customer service in the industry and at the same time offering the
latest in business communications technology at a fixed cost.
Furthermore, C-TAP supports our mission of helping our customers
increase their profitability, while achieving a dominant position in
their marketplace."
