Automatic Two-Line Switch Kit Also Introduced for Professionals

Requiring Multi-Line Phone Communications

ArialPhone Corp., a provider of wireless communications devices and voice-enabling software, is now offering a new Cell Phone Integration Kit that equips professionals with an easy way to save phone costs while gaining mobility and productivity inside the workplace.

Now available, the kit allows the use of standard cell phone service in combination with ArialPhone, the company's voice-activated, wireless Earset communications device. In addition, ArialPhone Corp. is also now offering a new Automatic Two-Line Switch Kit that provides multi-line communications for the ArialPhone device.

ArialPhone is a new breed of communications product that allows users to place phone calls through a computer contact database (MS Outlook) -- simply by saying a person's name or phone number. Its patented, hands-free Earset design enables users to move un-tethered as far as 150 to 300 feet from their PCs as they place and receive phone calls. Productivity and efficiency gains are realized because the user is able to perform automated contact management functions, such as voice dialing by name, while moving about the home or office. Because ArialPhone utilizes standard phone lines, no monthly service fees are directly involved.

Save Money on Local and Long Distance Calling

The Cell Phone Integration Kit makes it possible for both outbound and incoming cell phone calls to be conducted using ArialPhone, giving users more mobility and convenience inside the home or office than they could normally achieve through the use of a cell phone alone. At the same time, the kits take advantage of the fact that many cell phone plans offer lower rates than wired phone plans for both local and long distance calls, especially at night and on weekends. By setting up ArialPhone to default to the cell phone for outbound calls, users can leave their wired phone line free for incoming calls, thus saving money on local and long distance calling.

"There are numerous advantages to integrating ArialPhone with a cell phone, particularly for those professionals who rely heavily on telecommunications to create and maintain strong business relationships," said Jim Alland, co-founder and CEO of ArialPhone Corp. "First, it is much more comfortable to wear the one-ounce ArialPhone Earset than to hold your cell phone to your head as you move about the home or office. Users can enjoy this comfort while also benefiting from the low rates on their cell phone calling plans."

The integration takes only seconds, and is done by connecting the base station of the ArialPhone system with the user's cell phone adapter.

Easy, Convenient Operation

The ArialPhone product includes a sleek, lightweight earset that fits easily over the ear via a comfortable, ergonomically designed hook that can be worn all day. It also features voice-dialing software and a base station that is attached to the user's PC, analog phone line, and if desired, their cell phone adapter. With the cell phone connected to the adapter, it can be positioned and oriented for maximum signal strength at all times as users move about the house using the wireless capabilities of ArialPhone.

Operation is simple: the user presses a single "action button" on the earset to alert the base station to listen for voice commands. For telephony applications, these commands prompt the device to access an existing PC-based contact management directory. The call is then placed as directed. Voice accuracy is assured: the ArialPhone device delivers top-quality, digital communications as far as 150 to 300 feet from the user's PC -- even through walls.

Two-Line Switch Kits Provides a Second Phone Line in Seconds

The Cell Phone Integration Kits work in combination with ArialPhone's new Automatic Two-Line Switch Kit, which provides users with a quick way to add a second phone line for use with their ArialPhone. The Two-Line Switch Kit, connected to the ArialPhone base station, allows the use of the ArialPhone for dialing out or answering either line from anywhere in the office, house or yard. Users can also place a call on hold while making a second call or answering a second line. The Switch Kit even plays music for the party on hold.

Pricing and Availability

The Cell Phone Integration Kit can now be purchased from the ArialPhone Web site (www.arialphone.com) for use with ArialPhone. The Kit uses a product called the CellSocket, which is priced at $89 and is designed for use with Nokia cell phones only. There is an alternative product from VoxLink, priced at $199, which is designed for Nokia, Motorola and Ericsson cell phones.

Also available is ArialPhone's new Automatic Two-Line Switch Kit, priced at $49. The CellSocket and an Automatic Two-Line Switch Kit are now being offered from the ArialPhone online store for a package price of $129.95.
