ITEM 4.     PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

            ITelTech purchased its interest in Net2Phone as a strategic
investment in Voice over Internet Protocol technology.

            STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT. On August 11,
2000, AT&T, through a newly formed business entity, ITelTech, purchased (i) from
Net2Phone four million newly-

                                Page 4 of 9

<PAGE>

issued shares of Class A Stock at a price of $75 per share and (ii) from IDT
Investments 14.9 million shares of Class A Stock at a price of $75 per share.

            Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock Purchase
Agreement"), dated August 11, 2000, by and among AT&T, IDT Corporation, a
Delaware corporation ("IDT") and IDT Investments and the Subscription Agreement
(the "Subscription Agreement"), dated August 11, 2000, by and between AT&T and
Net2Phone, (i) Howard S. Jonas resigned from Net2Phone's Board of Directors and
was appointed as an observer to Net2Phone's Board of Directors and (ii) two
designees of AT&T, John Petrillo and Rick Roscitt, were elected to serve on
Net2Phone's Board of Directors. AT&T has the right to designate one more member
to serve on Net2Phone's Board of Directors. IDT Investments also granted
ITelTech a right of first refusal to purchase its remaining shares of Class A
Stock and an option to convert them into shares of Common Stock. Shares of Class
A Stock have two votes per share, while shares of Common Stock have one vote per
share. In addition, for a period of 18 months, if ITelTech buys shares of Class
A Stock from another holder of shares of Class A Stock, IDT Investments has the
option to cause ITelTech to purchase up to 5 million additional shares of its
Class A Stock on the same terms and conditions.

            VOTING AGREEMENT. On August 11, 2000, in connection with the sale of
shares of Class A Stock to ITelTech, IDT Investments and ITelTech entered into a
Voting Agreement (the "Voting Agreement") pursuant to which IDT Investments and
ITelTech agreed that until August 1, 2003 or such earlier time as IDT
Investments ceases to own two million or more shares of Class A Stock or Common
Stock, they will vote or cause to be voted all of their shares in favor of
nominees to the Board of Directors of Net2Phone who are mutually acceptable to
IDT Investments and ITelTech. The parties further agreed to vote or cause to be
voted all of their shares consistent with the result of having two designees
from IDT Investments reasonably acceptable to ITelTech on the Board of Directors
of Net2Phone and three designees from ITelTech reasonably acceptable to IDT
Investments on the Board of Directors of Net2Phone. In the event that they are
unable to agree on acceptable nominees, they agreed to abstain from voting on
such nominees as to which they are unable to agree. The parties also agreed to
use their reasonable best efforts to assure that at least five members of the
Board of Directors of Net2Phone will be members not employed by, providing
material services for compensation to or otherwise affiliated with, IDT, IDT
Investments, ITelTech or AT&T or any of their respective affiliates. This
obligation terminates at such time as IDT Investments or ITelTech, as the case
may be, becomes the beneficial owner of more than 85% or less than 15% of the
voting power of Net2Phone.

            The descriptions of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Voting Agreement
and Subscription Agreement throughout this Schedule 13D are qualified by
reference to such Stock Purchase Agreement, Voting Agreement and Subscription
Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 2, 3 and 4 hereto and are
incorporated herein by reference.

            Each of the Reporting Persons intends to continuously review their
investment in Net2Phone, and may in the future determine, either alone or as
part of a group (i) to acquire additional securities of Net2Phone, through open
market purchases, private agreements or otherwise, (ii) to dispose of all or a
portion of the securities of Net2Phone owned by it or (iii) to take any other
available course of action, which could involve one or more of the types of
transactions or have one or more of the results described in paragraphs (a) -
(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, each
of the Reporting Persons specifically reserves the right to change its intention
with respect to any or all of such matters. In reaching any decision as to its
course of action (as well as to the specific elements thereof), each of the
Reporting Persons currently expects that it would take into consideration a
variety of factors, including, but not limited to, Net2Phone's business and
prospects, other developments

                                Page 5 of 9

<PAGE>


concerning Net2Phone and its businesses generally, other business opportunities
available to the reporting Persons, developments with respect to the business of
IDT, changes in law and government regulations, general economic conditions and
money and stock market conditions, including the market price of the securities
of Net2Phone.

            Other than the transactions described above, the Reporting Persons
have no plans or proposals with respect to Net2Phone or its securities that
relate to, or would result in, any of the transactions described in paragraphs
(a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

ITEM 5.     INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

            (a) ITelTech directly beneficially owns 18,900,000 shares of Class A
Stock representing approximately 49.8% of the outstanding shares of the Class A
Stock, approximately 31.8% of the total outstanding shares of Net2Phone and
approximately 38.9% of the combined voting power of Net2Phone. Each share of
Class A Stock is convertible into one share of Common Stock without
consideration being paid therefor.

            AT&T does not directly beneficially own any shares of Net2Phone.
ITelTech is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AT&T.

            The filing of this 13D shall not be construed as an admission by the
Reporting Persons that they are, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act, the beneficial owner of shares of Net2Phone owned by other parties.

            (b) Subject to the Voting Agreement, the Reporting Persons share the
power to vote, or dispose of, the 18,900,000 shares of Class A Stock owned by
ITelTech.

            Other than the transactions described in the preceding sentence, no
transactions in the shares of Common Stock or Class A Stock have been effected
by the Reporting Persons or, to the best of AT&T's knowledge, by any of the
executive officers and directors of AT&T named in Exhibit 1, during the past 60
days.

            (d)   None.

            (e)   Not Applicable.

ITEM 6.     CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR
            RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

            Except as described in this Item and in Item 4, none of the
Reporting Persons has any contracts, arrangements, understandings, or
relationship (legal or otherwise) with respect to any securities of Net2Phone.

            Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Subscription
Agreement, (i) Howard S. Jonas resigned from Net2Phone's Board of Directors and
was appointed as an observer to Net2Phone's Board of Directors and (ii) two
designees of AT&T, John Petrillo and Rick Roscitt, were elected to serve on
Net2Phone's Board of Directors. AT&T has the right to designate one more member
to serve on Net2Phone's Board of Directors. IDT Investments also granted to
ITelTech a right of first refusal to purchase its remaining shares of Class A
Stock and an option to require IDT to convert such remaining shares into shares
of Common Stock. In addition, for a period of 18 months, if ITelTech buys shares
of

                                  Page 6 of 9

<PAGE>

Class A Stock from another holder of shares of Class A Stock, IDT Investments
has the option to cause ITelTech to purchase up to 5 million additional shares
of its Class A Stock on the same terms and conditions.

            Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, IDT Investments and ITelTech
agreed that until August 1, 2003 or such earlier time as IDT Investments ceases
to own two million or more shares of Class A Stock or Common Stock, they will
vote or cause to be voted all of their shares in favor of nominees to the Board
of Directors of Net2Phone who are mutually acceptable to IDT Investments and
ITelTech. The parties further agreed to vote or cause to be voted all of their
shares consistent with the result of having two designees from IDT Investments
reasonably acceptable to ITelTech on the Board of Directors of Net2Phone and
three designees from ITelTech reasonably acceptable to IDT Investments on the
Board of Directors of Net2Phone. In the event that they are unable to agree on
acceptable nominees, they agreed to abstain from voting on such nominees as to
which they are unable to agree. The parties also agreed to use their reasonable
best efforts to assure that at least five members of the Board of Directors of
Net2Phone will be members not employed by, providing material services for
compensation to or otherwise affiliated with IDT, IDT Investments, ITelTech or
AT&T or any of their respective affiliates. This obligation terminates at such
time as IDT Investments or ITelTech, as the case may be, becomes the beneficial
owner of more than 85% or less than 15% of the voting power of Net2Phone.
