Pinger: Mobile Voice Messaging for Mac Users

PINGERsm NOW LETS MAC OS X USERS EASILY SEND MOBILE VOICE MESSAGES TO
ANYONE OR ANY GROUP IN THEIR APPLE ADDRESS BOOK

Macintosh Users Can Simply Call Pinger and Say Any Name in their Address
Book to Send a Pinger Message

SAN JOSE, CA--May 16, 2007--Pinger, Inc., a mobile voice messaging service,
today announced it has made its service even easier for Macintosh users by
releasing a simple application that lets its users upload their Apple
Address Book contacts in seconds. Pinger now supports the Apple Address
Book and Microsoft Entourage, the two most popular email programs for
Macintosh users.

Macintosh users can import their contacts into Pinger and instantly send
quick voice messages. Sending a message is as easy as calling Pinger on a
mobile phone, saying the name of the contact and leaving the voice message.

"Pinger customers tell us they love using their voice to send thoughtful,
expressive messages to friends, colleagues or whole groups with just one
call," said Greg Woock, CEO of Pinger. "Adding support for the Apple
Address Book continues our promise to be as inclusive as possible with our
service. Now Pinger works on all major carriers and mobile phones in the US
and, more importantly, the Mac that's on my desk."

The Pinger Mac OS X integration is delivered as a System Preferences panel
that allows users to select which folders they want synchronized with the
Pinger service. The panel is compatible with Mac OS X 10.3 and higher.

Pinger is currently in beta and free*. Anyone with a US mobile phone can
sign up at (http://www.pinger.com/) and download the Pinger System
Preferences panel. Pinger also supports importing contacts from Microsoft
Outlook, Outlook Express, Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail/Live, AOL, Thunderbird and
Palm Desktop.

*Standard voice and messaging rates apply.
