  ATLANTA, GA, Aug 05 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
With the first weeks of summer officially gone, millions of workers are
still looking to take advantage of spending a week at the beach, touring
an exotic location or simply visiting friends and relatives who live
across the country. But in an age of the BlackBerry(R), iPhone and
Instant Messaging, being away from the office is often no vacation. With
24/7 connectivity, being truly unplugged from the office never seems
possible.

    Vocalocity, though, has a cure for the summertime blues. By allowing small
business owners and employees to leave the office behind or even take it
with them as desired, the vacation is back. Vocalocity's Internet phone
service for small businesses, allows users to easily decide when and how
they are reached both inside and outside the office. Call forwarding,
voicemail to e-mail and integration of a cell phone with the office phone
give business people as much or as little access to day-to-day operations
and tasks as desired.

    For instance, businesspeople can set a time of day or day of the week when
their office phone will ring to a mobile device or wired phone anywhere in
the world. It is also possible to decide when a call will go to voicemail
or instead be forwarded to another colleague.

    Aimed at businesses with less than 20 people, Vocalocity offers an
advanced voice communication system that won't break the bank. Despite
features often found in systems used by Fortune 500 companies,
Vocalocity's Internet phone solution (hosted VoIP solution) costs as much
as 80 percent less a month than traditional services. In addition to
unlimited calling and features aimed at reintroducing the notion of a
vacation, Vocalocity's service also includes auto-attendant, music on
hold, simultaneous ring, conference calling and call queuing capabilities.

    With Vocalocity's service, there's no expensive or complex equipment to
install. Companies only need to purchase full-feature Internet phones --
for around $150 -- that are easier to set-up than booking an airline
ticket. Once the phone is plugged in and connected to the Internet it is
ready to use. The initial investment for comparable systems may cost three
times as much and require businesses to install complex equipment which is
often expensive to maintain. The money saved in both upfront as well as
recurring monthly costs could certainly pay for a much deserved vacation.

    "Today's always-on, always available lifestyle and the technologies that
make it possible means where that we are working even when we are
supposedly on vacation," said Phil Hill, President, Vocalocity. "But
through an Internet phone solution from Vocalocity, we've delivered a
service that allows users to gain control over when and how they are
reached and in turn has helped allow them to vacation without worrying
about being away from the office. Businesspeople may now vacation on
their own terms and are no longer a slave to the phone. Instead the phone
is working for them no matter where they are. As a result, business can
be conducted on an as-needed or as-desired basis whether it is for
minutes a day or just a brief period during the week of a vacation."
