FreedomVOICE Launches Newber Beta, the First Location-Aware Business
Number for the iPhone
Commercial Version of Newber to Hit Apple App Store Soon
SAN FRANCISCO (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) September 10, 2008 --
FreedomVOICE Systems, a
leading provider of telephone communications solutions, unveiled Newber
Beta, the first location-aware business number, at CTIA in San Francisco
today. Newber Beta is an application that resides in the iPhone as a
fully functional second line and uses positioning technology to locate
and seamlessly transfer calls to nearby landlines, even during an
in-progress call. The commercial version of Newber will soon be
available to iPhone users through the iTunes Applications store.
Newber Beta enables iPhone users to:
-
Save money by avoiding the use of cell phone minutes
-
Never miss or drop a call when in a “dead
zone”
-
Conserve iPhone battery power
“Newber Beta is the first moveable number that
utilizes iPhone’s own location awareness,”
explained Eric Thomas, founder and CEO of FreedomVOICE. “Just
touch the keypad once or twice and Newber calls are automatically moved
to the nearest landline. It’s that easy.”
By enabling the easy transfer of mobile calls to a desired landline,
Newber Beta’s unique location-awareness
corrects long standing flaws of more primitive moveable numbers.
“Other so-called moveable numbers need a
computer or require clumsy commands to switch phones,”
said Mr. Thomas. “Since Newber Beta uses
iPhone’s own GPS system to connect to nearby
phones, it is the first moveable number that’s
practical and convenient.”
Newber Beta delivers an independent number that can be assigned to any
phone, sparing the caller the task of dialing multiple numbers for
mobile, home, work, etc. Newber Beta also allows a person to take
business calls on their private phone without giving out personal
information.
A highly anticipated capability of the commercial release is “Contact
Finder.” A Newber user will be able to simply
tap a name on the contact list and all of that contact’s
numbers will be automatically dialed in sequence. Manually dialing one
number after another will be a thing of the past.
“Plans are in the works to introduce Newber
for other mobile smart phones,” said Mr.
Thomas. “Newber is making business calls
simple again.”
A limited number of beta versions of Newber are currently available free
to members of the media. To obtain the free beta version or to
