V-ENABLE,
leader in local mobile search and directory assistance services
announced today the availability of a full-featured downloadable
version of FreeMobile411 to Sprint customers. The announcement comes
hot on the heels of the launch of the FreeMobile411 mobile internet
site earlier this month.

Push “TALK” to Search FREELY
This easy to use and fast voice-enabled application allows users to
simply speak what they are looking for by holding the talk key of their
phone, and seeing the results displayed on the screen within seconds.
Unlike most other directory assistance solutions, FreeMobile411 not
only gives access to 140 million residential and 14 million business,
listings but it also allows users to browse by category, get maps,
driving directions, see other businesses nearby and more, all for free.
On top of all that, the user is also provided with the option to
connect to an operator, if still needed, at any time during the process.

FreeMobile411 functions identically to V-ENABLE’s flagship product
Mobile411 which is available on deck with select carriers, such as
Alltel and MetroPCS. Now, with the release of the off deck JAVA
version, Sprint users can enjoy all the benefits of a complete mobile
search experience.

“There are several mobile and voice based services that can help find
listings, get maps, driving directions, see what’s nearby. but none of
the services bring it all together, with the touch of a live operator,”
said Craig Hagopian, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing
Officer of V-ENABLE Inc.

“With FreeMobile411 we are embracing the blending of man and machine to
complete the search experience. We look forward to being available on
even more carriers and handsets so all mobile consumers can experience
the most complete mobile search solution currently available”.

Sprint users can go online at www.FreeMobile411.com
and register for the service, at which time they will be sent via SMS a
link to download the application. Non-Sprint customers can visit the
site and register with FreeMobile411. These users will be notified when
FreeMobile411 is available for their handset and carrier. They can also
use the mobile internet version of FreeMobile411 by typing on their
phone’s browser freemobile411.com
