Business Wire, Sept 27, 2007

ATLANTA & REGINA, Canada -- SaskTel today announced that it is the first provider in Canada to offer Voice Mail to Text service powered by SpinVox. Available on both the SaskTel cellular network and SaskTel's wireline telephone network, Voice Mail to Text service automatically converts voicemail messages to text and sends the text message to the recipient for viewing on a computer, a cellular phone or another wireless device. The service is available for $25 per month for unlimited messages, $10 per month for up to 40 messages or 40 cents per message on a pay per use basis.

SaskTel also announced the introduction of online access to SaskTel's Voice Mail Service for residential and small business customers as well as wireless customers. Online Voice Mail, which has been available to large business customers for several months, gives all of SaskTel's voice mail customers the ability to listen to and delete messages, forward messages to email, download and save messages, and change their voicemail settings, all on an easy-to-use web site that can be accessed via www.sasktel.com. Voice mailboxes are secure, and customers are required to enter their phone number and voice mail password to access their mailbox online. These online enhancements, plus an increase in mailbox storage capacity, are available at no extra charge.

"Voice Mail to Text is a revolutionary service and we're proud to be the first provider in Canada to offer it to our customers," SaskTel President and CEO Robert Watson said. "These new technologies provide customers with incredible new flexibility and convenience when dealing with their voicemail."

"Voice driven messaging is about to explode around the globe," said Christina Domecq, Co-founder and CEO of SpinVox. "SpinVox was the first to create the service and SaskTel is the first in Canada to offer it. We believe voice messaging greatly enhances your ability to communicate effectively with the people you interact with on a daily basis - and that's why we're both in business."
