First Voiceweb Application Merging Mobile Voice with Social Networks

Digitrad launches the application Call-By-Name. Call now a friend from your smartphone, just by clicking on his/her online profile on any social network. No more numbers needed to reach a friend.

San Francisco, CA, February 28, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Digitrad, the leading provider of VoiceWeb platforms for personal and business use, has now launched its new consumer voice service, Call-By-Name. Call-By-Name makes phone calling easy by eliminating phone numbers. Simply type a person’s name in any web browser and Call-By-Name can search, locate them, and connect a call whether the callers are on the phone, in a social network or online community. With 4 billion mobile phone users and over 700 million people in social networks, Call-By-Name is the first platform to make voice calling possible between social networks and the mobile phones. “Call-By-Name solves two problems I have. I can’t remember anyone’s phone number and there are too many ways people can connect with me,” said Chris Shipley, Executive Producer of the DEMO Conferences. “With Call-By-Name I have a single, easy to remember way for people to connect with me. What makes this great is that Call-By-Name finds me, whether I am in a social network, surfing the net or on my mobile phone, and connects with me in the way that makes the most sense for me. Simply type my name and Call-By-Name will find me.” No More Phone Numbers Call-By-Name leverages the new capabilities of the first domain name dedicated to communications, .tel, and combines it with the rich information available in social networks, online communities, directories and address books. The consolidated communications environment behind Call-By-Name greatly improves user experience while contacting someone from a desktop PC or a mobile phone. The user doesn’t need to remember phone numbers, usernames, manage contacts or synchronize devices. Call recipients are alerted there is a call waiting and can choose to connect, send to voicemail and even have the voicemail transcribed into text and sent to them. Call-By-Name works with Android, windows, linux, Mac OSX and on any web browser. Versions for iPhone, PalmPre, Blackbery, Symbian and Windows mobile will be available in the coming months. Now, friends, business colleagues, and family can go to any web browser, type in a name and Call-By-Name will find them. Just one name, one click and one call. “With Digitrad we are taking the VoiceWeb to the next level by eliminating the need for phone numbers, leveraging the power of personal brands, and enabling easy connection no matter where you are on the Web,” said Micha Benoliel, CEO and Founder of Digitrad Communications Inc. “We are dedicated to simplifying the way people communicate and couldn’t be more excited to unveil our new service to the public.” About Digitrad Digitrad is the leading provider of consolidated communications platforms bringing together IM, voice, social networks and online directories. Their flagship patent-pending service Call-By-Name turns any browser into a phone by simply typing a contact name.
