GotVMail Announces Most Advanced Outsourced Voice Communications Services

-- Targeted for Small, Home-Based Businesses, Entrepreneurs, Independent Professionals --


NEWTON, Mass., — March 15, 2004 — GotVMail Communications® today introduced the industry's most advanced suite of virtual voice communications services to deliver the image, productivity, and professionalism of a Fortune 500 corporate telecommunications system to small and home-based businesses, entrepreneurs, and independent professionals — but without the need to purchase capital equipment or software.

GotVMail's industry-leading virtual voice communications services include the availability of unique toll-free numbers, main greeting system and auto attendant, multiple mailboxes, custom greetings, music-on-hold, live call forwarding, web-based system management, voicemail with notification and messages via phone or e-mail, and other corporate office features. In addition, companies can create the impression of a single office by assigning private extensions to different departments or employees who may be sited in various locations.

"GotVMail allows us to be productive without requiring us to be physically on site," said Frank Schroth, co-founder of uLocate, a technology firm that takes it own communications requirements very seriously. "With GotVMail, we are not shackled to the office. Staff can stay on top of customer support and sales calls regardless of where they are, and there are absolutely no integration issues with the uLocate network, IT or phone systems."

GotVMail's enhanced features further expands its array of virtual communications services to enable small firms to:

• Instantly research and acquire toll-free "vanity" telephone numbers, such as those that spell out a name
• Appear to be "around the corner" with community-based phone numbers for localities throughout the U.S. and overseas
• Forward incoming calls to international phone numbers
• Easily and quickly customize their communications system greetings
• Ensure no call goes unanswered with enhanced "follow-me" options to route incoming calls to additional numbers, extensions, a virtual switchboard, or voice mail
• Seamlessly utilize the full-range of GotVMail services in connection with a company's PBX

Taking Care of Business
"Until GotVMail, a void existed within the telecommunications industry. Small businesses and entrepreneurs that lacked the capital for an installed telecommunications solution found themselves saddled with the disappointing services of a basic voicemail system from their local phone company," said Siamak Taghaddos, GotVMail Communications President and CEO. "Needless to say, this shortcoming severely restricted their ability to effectively compete and maintain a professional corporate image. GotVMail fills that void and allows small businesses to focus on their core competencies, while keeping their telecommunications costs to a minimum."

Since engaging with GotVMail, uLocate has been able to provide a high level of service and response to its clients on a budget-saving basis. uLocate receives a full featured voice mail system for roughly $100 per month, virtually the same recurring out of pocket expense the firm would incur for routine costs with an internal PBX — but without the upfront $4,000 to $20,000 capital expenditure that would be required. "GotVMail allows us to professionally and efficiently respond to all calls and messages with little time or expense and, as a small business, this is the level of service that we require," Schroth noted.

Available and Affordable
GotVMail's enhanced virtual communications services — "The Next Generation of Small Business Communications" — are immediately available. Pricing starts at $9.95 per month, exclusive of carrier charges.
