LANGUAGE LINE SERVICES EXPANDS TO MEET DEMAND FOR NEW TELEPHONE INTERPRETER SERVICE

Monterey, CA (December 5, 2006) — Language Line Services, the global leader of over-the-phone language interpretation, today announced plans for new infrastructure investments, including a major expansion to its interpreter base, in an effort to meet the increased demand for its new consumer-based service Your World. Your Language.^SM. Currently available in Northern California, the company will hire an anticipated 10-15 percent more interpreters and offer the new consumer interpretation service nationwide by the close of 2007.

Your World. Your Language.^SM, created by Language Line Services and powered by the new AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T), is the first, free over-the-phone interpretation service connecting limited English speaking consumers to vital business, city and community services and entertainment venues. By dialing 1-888-855-0811, limited-English speaking residents and tourists can talk in their own languages to a host of local and national banking, insurance, telephone, Internet, utility and entertainment businesses anytime at no charge.

"We are quite pleased with how well Your World. Your Language.^SM has been received by limited English speakers in Northern California, We have been able to assist hundreds of consumers with basic business and local tourist activities" said Louis Provenzano, Language Line Services’ President and Chief Operating Officer. "As a result of this one month launch in Northern California we anticipate even more significant growth over the next several months due to our aggressive expansion schedule and are now seeking qualified interpreters to ensure we are able to meet further demand as we expand the service."

Qualified interpreters interested in a rewarding career are encouraged to contact Language Line Services by visiting www.languageline.com/page/careers/ and completing an application.

Language Line Services has traditionally worked on behalf of businesses and organizations within the government, health care, telecom, financial services and insurance sectors, connecting them to customers, patients and sales prospects in more than 170 languages. Your World. Your Language.^SM enables individuals to access Language Line Services’ interpreters directly, giving the company an entirely new customer base.

When limited English speaking customers call 1-888-855-0811 they first choose their preferred language and service. A Language Line Services interpreter then connects the customer with the requested provider, and the service is completed through a three-way conversation. The Language Line Services interpreter stays on the line until the very end of the call, interpreting the entire conversation for the consumer.

"More people than ever before in the U.S. speak a language other than English and, not surprisingly, they feel more comfortable and secure when they can conduct business in their preferred language," said Provenzano. "Whether it is signing up for cable television, opening a bank account, or getting a new cell phone, Your World. Your Language.^SM opens up a whole new era of communication, giving limited-English speakers more options, and the ability to get things done quickly and easily."

Your World. Your Language.^SM currently serves customers in eight languages, including Cantonese (Chinese), Japanese, Korean, Mandarin (Chinese), Russian, Spanish, Tagalog and Vietnamese. The service launched in San Francisco in October, recently expanded to San Mateo and Santa Clara/Alameda Counties, and will be rolled out in Southern California in January 2007 and Nationwide by the close of 2007.

Language Line Services developed the patent-pending technology that makes Your World. Your Language.^SM possible, and provides the specially-trained and experienced interpreters. AT&T operates the network, and is responsible for the routing of calls.
