Voice on the Go(R) Now Available on the Apple(R) iPhone(TM)


TORONTO, October 24 /PRNewswire/ --     Voice on the Go Inc., provider of mobile voice solutions, today announced
the availability of Voice on the Go(R) for the Apple(R) iPhone(TM). Voice on
the Go combines iPhone's innovative design and seamless integration with
hands-free voice access to email, calendar, contacts, traffic, news, and
other content - for safe use while driving or any other time.

Using mobile phones and text messaging while driving is illegal in more
and more countries, states and jurisdictions. Voice on the Go offers a way
for iPhone users to safely access email and other content, while keeping
their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel - when used with a
headset or hands-free kit.

"iPhone is a revolutionary mobile phone that seamlessly integrates
multimedia and Internet services," said Simon Arnison, president and chief
executive officer of Voice on the Go. "Voice on the Go extends this
multimedia capability which allows users to safely and legally access their
email and other content with their iPhone by voice in the car while driving -
anytime, anywhere."

iPhone users can now listen to their email rather than reading it. With
Voice on the Go, iPhone users can securely access their email and calendar,
search contacts by name or company and place calls all hands-free by voice.

Voice on the Go is available to all iPhone users and can be activated
quickly with no voice training, special hardware or software to download.
Voice on the Go works on any carrier network and supports most popular email
services.

About Voice on the Go

Voice on the Go provides mobile subscribers with access to email,
contacts, calendar and other content by voice at any time, on any cell phone,
BlackBerry(R) smartphone, Apple(R) iPhone(TM) or other PDA.

It enables subscribers to listen to, compose, reply and forward their
email all by voice - hands-free and eyes-free safely while driving, or any

Currently, 50 countries in the world have legislation that strictly
prohibits usage of cell phones while driving unless usage is "hands-free". In
the United States: California, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and
Washington, DC have passed similar legislation while other states have
partial bans and bills pending. In addition to banning cell phones while
driving, legislation prohibiting text messaging while driving is now also
being enacted with Washington leading the way as the first state to ban
texting while driving.

well as telecommunications carriers and resellers worldwide in a number of
languages including English, French, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, and German.
