Re:
GlobalTel, IP, Inc. ( the Company)
Registration Statement on Form SB-2/A
Filed May 4, 2007
File No. 333-135585
Dear Mr. Shuman:
Reference is made to your letter of May 4, 2006 with respect to Amendment No. 3 to the Companys registration statement. The following paragraph numbers and captions correspond to the numbered paragraphs in your letter. Paragraphs numbered 12 through 15 will be responded to directly by the Company. The factual basis for the following responses was provided to us by the Company.
The changes and revisions described in this letter refer to Amendment No. 4 to the Companys registration statement on Form SB-2.
General
1.
The Company has been advised by the president of the company known as Interactive Media Technologies, Inc. as referred to in the prospectus included in Amendment No. 4 (IMT) that IMT is not the same entity that previously filed Exchange Act reports. According to IMTs website, IMT is an international telecom services company whose services include Universal International Free Number Direct Dial service, Callback Service, calling card service, CallMeBack Prepaid Phone Cards, and switching and carrier services for resellers and phone card distributors.
2.
The Company is not aware of the shareholder base of IMT other than the holdings of Steven M. Williams as disclosed in the prospectus. In addition, the Company does not have access to IMTs shareholder records. Other than Mr. Williams and IMT, no affiliate, as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, of the Company is also an affiliate of IMT.

Rule 415(a)(4) refers to an at the market offering of equity securities by or on behalf of the registrant. The proposed pro rata distribution by IMT of the Companys shares to IMTs shareholders is not being made by or on behalf of the Company. In addition, to the extent that the distribution is considered to be an offering, it is not an at the market offering because the distributees will not pay any consideration for the distributed shares.
If the proposed distribution by IMT of the Companys shares to IMTs shareholders is deemed to be a sale, IMT will be deemed to be making a public offering of the shares and the recipients of the shares (the IMT shareholders) will be deemed to have purchased the shares. Although the legal basis has not always been clear, it is the Companys understanding that in the view of the Commission, shares that are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and purchased in a public offering which is the subject of such registration can be publicly resold by the purchasers at any price. The foregoing can be distinguished from resales of shares held by the other selling stockholders named as such in the prospectus because such resales are the very sales that are the subject of the registration statement. Naturally any resales by any person that is an affiliate of the Company that receives distributed shares will be subject to the applicable conditions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933.
Reference is made to the Divisions Staff Legal Bulletin No. 4. (the SLB) The SLB states that it the Divisions view that a subsidiary does not have to register a spin-off under the Securities Act of 1933 when:
·
the parent shareholders do not provide consideration for the spun-off shares;
·
the spin-off is pro-rata to the parent shareholders;
·
the parent provides adequate information about the spin-off and the subsidiary to its shareholders and to the trading markets1;
1 The information will be provided through the delivery of the Companys prospectus to each of the parents shareholders of record. Although the Company does not presently intend to register its common stock under the Exchange Act, commencing upon the effective date of its registration statement on Form SB-2, the Company will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 of the Exchange Act.

·
the parent has a valid business purpose for the spin-off; and
·
if the parent spins-off restricted securities, it has held those securities for at least two years.
Although the Company believes that all of the foregoing conditions will be satisfied, the Company has chosen to register the shares to be distributed. The SLB further states that It is the Divisions view that securities received by shareholders in a spin-off that meets the conditions described above, generally are not 'restricted securities.' " Presumably, the distributees in a spin-off that satisfies all of the above conditions may publicly resell the securities at any price because, among other things, the parent would not be an underwriter for the reasons stated in the SLB.

The filing has been marked in accordance with the provisions of Rule 310 of Regulation S-T.
