TORONTO, May 27 (MARKET WIRE) --
Alternative mobile communications company, Talkster (www.talki.me), today
announced its mobile application, talki(TM), won Technology Marketing
Corporation's (TMC) 2008 Communications Solutions Product of the Year
Award. Talkster's talki(TM) mobile application gives consumers affordable
alternatives to traditional long distance and international calling, plus
text and picture messaging without the hefty SMS and MMS charges. Since
introducing its award-winning consumer communications services in 2007,
Talkster has saved callers millions in international calling fees.

The Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award recognizes
Talkster's vision, leadership and attention to detail which are the
hallmarks of the prestigious award. Talkster has been awarded TMC's
Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award for the last three
years, having won for its innovation in voice over instant messaging
(VoIM) technologies in 2006 and for its innovative Free World Dialing(TM)
ad-supported calling service in 2007.

"Talkster has been recognized with our 2008 Product of the Year Award for
its excellence in the advancement of voice and data communications," said
Rich Tehrani, TMC President and Group Editor-in-Chief. "Talkster has
proven it is a company committed to quality and excellence in solutions
that benefit consumers worldwide. Especially key in this trying economy
are solutions like talki that leverage mobile technology to save consumers
money. With this award TMC is honoring the innovations of Talkster's team
for the third year running as the company continues to successfully evolve
its alternative communications offerings to meet the needs of consumers
and VNOs around the globe."

talki is a new lightweight software application from Talkster, available
as a download or accessible through a mobile browser. It offers free or
low-cost international calling, plus text and picture messaging, all in
one convenient and easy to use mobile app. Talkster incorporated its
award-winning Free World Dialing service into talki so people in 37
countries can place long distance calls at the same rate they pay for
local calls, meaning no more expensive international mobile phone
charges. For calling to countries where Free World Dialing is not yet
supported, calling can still be done at rates 80 percent to 90 percent
less than typical mobile calling rates. What's more, the talki mobile app
offers consumers unlimited global text messaging without SMS charges and
global picture messaging without MMS charges.

Also available as a white labeled service, talki allows VNOs to deliver
new voice, text and multimedia services to mobile subscribers without
relying on carrier infrastructure. With talki, VNOs can easily deliver new
communications services, such as free or low-cost international calling or
unlimited text and picture messaging, opening up new opportunities for
revenue and marketing, independent of carrier capabilities and without the
need for capex investments. The talki white label service includes a
complete portal with tools for managing subscribers, subscription
packages, advertising campaigns and monitoring usage statistics. Plus,
Talkster's mobile billing system gives VNOs an easy way to offer their
customers the ability to purchase calling and messaging credits directly
from their mobile phones via SMS or PayPal.

The 2008 Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award winners can be
found on the INTERNET TELEPHONY and Customer Interaction Solutions Web
