Blogosphere Demand Prompts North American Preview of SpinVox Voicemail-to-Text Service.

SpinVox to Offer Limited Number of Gamma Accounts In Advance of Impending Carrier Roll-Outs

LONDON & ATLANTA -- SpinVox, the Voice-to-Screen[TM] messaging expert, today announced that it has begun previewing in North America its Spin-my-Vmail[TM] service, which converts voicemails to text messages that can be read on mobile handsets and within email. In response to consumer demand, the company is providing a limited number of one-year "gamma" accounts of Spin-my-Vmail to introduce the service in North America before it is rolled out by carriers later this year.

SpinVox has received significant interest among bloggers since its UK launch in 2005. Earlier this month, the company made Spin-my-Vmail accounts available to readers of Michael Arrington's "TechCrunch" blog (www.techcrunch.com) and Guy Kawasaki's "How to Change the World" blog (blog.guykawasaki.com), which have been inundated with requests for the SpinVox service. SpinVox is making its select number of gamma accounts available to North American users who email the company at [e-mail]. Gamma accounts will provide a forum for users to better define the SpinVox experience for North American carriers.

"SpinVox is creating a genuine shift to natural voice messaging behavior," said Christina Domecq, SpinVox co-founder and CEO. "We are delighted that North American users are already excited by SpinVox, and want to join our community of users who love reading their voice messages as text or email."

"It couldn't be simpler," adds Daniel Doulton, SpinVox co-founder and vice president of strategy and development. "People can now speak you a text or email when you can't answer your phone. With SpinVox you can instantly see who called and what they said; read their voice message as a text or email without having to dial into your voice mailbox, write down details or replay the message. Even better, with a press of a single button you can call, text or even email a reply straight back," added Doulton. "With Spin-my-Vmail you're in control. It makes it simple to prioritize, forward and respond to voice messages anytime, anyplace, anywhere: whether you're in a meeting, a noisy bar, or on-the-go."

SpinVox expects to announce carrier deals in North America at CTIA Wireless, as well as in Europe and Asia Pacific at the 3GSM World Congress, with deployments in Q2 2007. The company established its North American headquarters in Atlanta this month.

Carriers are choosing to deploy SpinVox, not only because it has created a valuable new service but also, as usage studies confirm, Spin-my-Vmail drives an average uplift of 14% in text and voice traffic. This creates new, recurring revenues for mobile and fixed-line operators driving up average revenues per user (ARPU), as voicemail becomes more immediate and users can text or call back at the push of a button. SpinVox has an unprecedented retention of over 80% further guaranteeing lifetime value of these new revenues; and its reliable and robust - 97% user-rated accuracy.

The award-winning SpinVox voicemail-to-text service, Spin-my-Vmail, has been experienced by more than 1 million consumers in Europe and has received widespread acclaim. Already, the company has garnered many high-profile industry awards such as:

* GSM Association's Global "Mobile Innovation Award"

* Red Herring 100 Europe "Top Ten Innovators"

* Mobile Messaging Awards "Biggest Impact on Mobile Messaging"

* Ernst & Young UK Young Entrepreneur of the Year for Christina Domecq, SpinVox Co-Founder and CEO
