PINGER INTRODUCES NEW VOICEMAIL SERVICE FOR MOBILE PHONES THAT'S CUSTOMIZABLE, FUN AND FASTER THAN ORDINARY VOICEMAIL

Voicemail We Hate Becomes Voicemail We Love with Visual Inbox, Fewer Prompts, Easy Reply, and Custom Greetings


SAN JOSE, CA — February 6, 2008 — Pinger, Inc., (www.pinger.com) unveiled today Pinger voicemail, a simple, fun and effective voicemail replacement service for mobile phones. Pinger voicemail replaces frustratingly slow and hard to manage voicemail systems with a speedy, interactive and visual voicemail service. Pinger voicemail frees voice messages so they can be forwarded and replied to instantly without an additional phone call, regardless of carrier.


"Voicemail is something everyone tolerates but no one loves," said Greg Woock, Pinger CEO. "One of the big frustrations with traditional voicemail is users' inability to immediately respond to messages without hanging up and having to make a call. Pinger solves this problem while also bringing personalization, simplicity and a great web interface to mobile phone voicemail."


With Pinger voicemail users can:

  • Record unique, personalized greetings for each of their friends, family members or co-workers.
  • Receive visual voicemail showing envelope information about the sender, message duration, date and time for each voicemail.
  • Manage their voicemail accounts and access and reply to their messages from the web.
  • Reply to and forward messages directly from their voicemail without making separate calls.
  • Store voicemail messages forever.


Pinger voicemail is currently available in the US to Alltel, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon subscribers. The Pinger voicemail service is free, but carriers may charge normal rates for phone calls, text messages and call forwarding. To sign up for Pinger voicemail simply dial 408-916-5008 and follow the easy instruction. Visit www.pinger.com for more information.
