Text to Landline Messages on Sprint Have the Glitz & Glam of Hollywood Voices

Market Wire, April, 2009

TeleMessage, helping generations communicate, today announced new Text to Landline abilities available on Sprint, allowing subscribers to convey more personality in their text messages between mobile and landline phones. The service will also allow Sprint text messages originating in the United States to be delivered to landline destinations in Mexico with no additional cost.

"With TeleMessage's service, we are offering our customers limitless ways and means to reach friends and family who do not have mobile phones. We are moving beyond the basic mobile-to-mobile text message with fun new features that enhance messaging as well as international capabilities," said Jeff Adelmann, Director of Product Management, of Sprint. "Sprint continues to recognize that our customers are always looking for new tools in communication, thus, providing cost-effective Text to Landline services, extends our mission to provide freedom of mobility to all our users."

Celebrity voices, enacted by top voice impersonators, not only deliver personalized messages, but are equipped with their own celebrated catchphrases.

Voices include:

--  Arnold Schwarzenegger
--  Barack Obama
--  Bill Cosby
--  Joan Rivers
--  Dr. Ruth
--  Rosie Perez
    

Have fun. Let the Prez take responsibility for your messages or have 'Good Text' with the Dr. Ruth. There are so many possibilities. Can we talk? To select the celebrity voice for their messages users call to a special IVR number from their Sprint phone. Text to Landline messages will use the selected celebrity voice until the user decides to change it.

Disclaimer: Celebrity voices are enacted by top voice impersonators. There is no affiliation, connection, association, sponsorship, approval, or agreement between the impersonator, this service, the companies and the celebrity.

"Our expanded Text to Landline features, used by Sprint, unites the gap between generations that do not communicate through the same mediums. Always-mobile teenagers now have the potential to send a quick text message to their parents and grandparents tied to landlines," said TeleMessage CEO Guy Levit. "TeleMessage is creating new Text to Landline features, bridging communications both geographically and between wired and mobile devices."

Sprint's mobile phone Text to Landline users will not be limited by location. Friends and family texting to Mexico can address messages to homes with landlines, opening the lines of communications between mobile and non-mobile users. Mexico Text to Landline is just as easy as sending an SMS and will not have any additional fees.
