 issued the following letter to shareholders:

Dear iVoice Shareholder:

Over the past month, many of you have contacted the company wondering what the management team was doing to create shareholder value. While there have been few newsworthy news·wor·thy

 developments over the second half of the year, I want to assure you that we have diligently focused on pursuing transactions that enhance shareholder value, and believe that several of these efforts are coming to fruition.

As previously stated, the Board of Directors of iVoice believes the best way to build shareholder value, separate and apart from the operating performance of iVoice, is to create new business opportunities by distributing shares of spin-offs to our shareholders.

In the past two years, we have taken major steps to restructure our Company in ways that we believe will be most favorable to shareholders with the spin-off and/or distribution of the stock of four separate companies. Trey Resources (which is on its way to a record revenue year) was the first company that was spun off from iVoice. We have since distributed shares in three other companies: iVoice Technology, Inc., Deep Field Technologies, Inc. and SpeechSwitch, Inc.

In the interim, we are aggressively pursuing acquisitions of companies with significant revenue and potential to develop exciting technologies. We believe we will consummate one or more of these transactions in the first quarter of 2007. With nearly $11 million in cash and short-term investments as of September 30, 2006 and an experienced management team, we believe we represent an attractive partner to consummate these deals.

Some the Highlights of 2006:

1. In August 2006, we announced that the Company repaid approximately $136,000 in convertible debt to an institutional investor Institutional Investor

4. Earlier this year, we issued a press release announcing that one of our subsidiaries, iVoice Innovations, had entered into a Letter of Intent to construct a biodiesel facility in New York New York, state, United States

Unfortunately, we received notice subsequently that the owner of the site in New York decided not to go forward with the plans to construct the contemplated biodiesel facility with iVoice Innovations. iVoice Innovations is seeking other parties to construct one or more biodiesel production facilities in other locations and will continue to pursue opportunities in the alternative energy sector, as we believe it holds much potential.

5. In May 2006, we announced the filing of a patent application for a new patent for TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYSTEM WITH COUNTDOWN SIGNALING AND WITH ADVERTISING AND/OR NEWS MESSAGE. The invention relates generally to traffic signal systems for motor vehicle traffic controls at road intersections and other crossings that include at least one stop/go light signal, minimally having a red light and a green light, but typically having a red, a yellow (or amber or orange), and a green light.

6. Deep Field Technologies, Inc., one of spin-offs previously announced on January 12, 2006, that it entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the "Securities Exchange") by and among the Company, Beijing Sino-US Jinche Yingang Auto Technological Services Limited, a cooperative joint venture under the laws of The People's Republic People's Republic

 Auto Group, LLC. AutoMart business focuses on automobile after-sales services, including maintenance and repairs, insurance, parts sales, interior furnishings, care products, tires, and windshields in the People's Republic of China. In a proposed amendment to the Securities Exchange, it is anticipated that iVoice will enter into a consulting agreement with Deep Field Technologies and receive 4 million common stock shares of Deep Field Technologies as compensation.

While we are frustrated that we have been unable to complete an acquisition recently or acquire new technologies, we remain committed to closing a transaction as soon as practical. However, we will not purchase a company or acquire a technology merely for the sake of doing something. Recently, we have seen a number of promising opportunities and are pursuing them diligently, giving us confidence that we will be able to announce something significant soon.

Like you, management is shareholders of the Company and is disappointed with its share price. We remain confident that those investors who have been patient during this challenging period will be rewarded. I look forward to 2007 and the opportunities it will bring. In the interim, I would like to wish you and your family a happy holiday season and thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Jerry Mahoney

President and Chief Executive Officer
