First True Internet Yellow Pages Get a Voice - information web sites form an alliance - Brief Article

ISP Business, August, 2000

InformationPages.com announced a strategic alliance with iPhoneLine.com to bring the convenience of toll-free Internet-based calling to the first true Internet Yellow Pages.

The agreement will provide yet another selling feature for publishers using the InformationPages.com Internet Yellow Pages platform to pass on to their advertiser. Yellow Pages users with a multimedia-enabled computer will be able to click on the phone button at the advertiser's listing and be instantly connected to the advertiser by phone. The system allows the customer to remain on-line while contacting the advertiser directly.

The feature uses VoIP technology to link the user's computer to any enabled VoIP phone number selected by the advertiser. The advertiser is billed for the call on their regular phone bill.
