eVoice(R) Calls In Five Ways to Improve Your Mobile Manners

LOS ANGELES, CA, Aug 30 (MARKET WIRE) --
With the vast majority of the U.S. population tied to a cell phone, and
more than one-third using smartphones, the way we communicate is rapidly
changing -- for better and for worse. The ability to be reached any time,
anywhere is a double-edged sword; it increases the chance you won't miss
an important business call, but also raises the odds that you'll be
impacting those around you when you answer at home, in the car, or in a
public place.

eVoice(R), a "Radically Better Phone Number" and brand of technology
leader j2 Global Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: JCOM), helps solve this
dilemma with a host of call management features, including call
recording, call routing, auto attendant, and voicemail-to-text. These
tools are critical in the battle to avoid disrupting or annoying those
around you while still staying in touch with your business.

eVoice encourages mobile professionals to consider the following mobile
phone courtesy and safety tips:

1. Keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel. The Governors
Highway Safety Association (GHSA) reports that distractions affect
driving performance. Instead of driving while talking and taking notes (a
dangerous, but common occurrence), simply press *2 (star-two) on your
cell phone keypad and let eVoice record the conversation for review at a
more convenient time. The other drivers on the road will thank you.

2. Respect cell phone quiet zones. A recent article discussing the
results of a Cornell University study reports that hearing cell phone
conversations is not only annoying to those in proximity but can
compromise cognitive performance. If you are working around others all
day, you have likely experienced the dizzying cacophony of eclectic ring
tones and beeps associated with incoming calls and messages. With eVoice,
you can subtly receive voicemail transcriptions during important lunch
meetings, while on a conference call, or to help minimize the amount of
time that business interferes with your personal lifestyle.

3. Avoid cell yell. According to a recent Intel survey, mobile etiquette
is worse than ever. Etiquette expert Anna Post suggests that before
making a call, texting or emailing in public, consider if your actions
will impact others. To help eliminate the need to speak loudly in order
to be heard in a public place like a busy airport terminal or loud arena,
eVoice allows you to call-forward multiple numbers. This way, other
employees can act as backup when you are unavailable to take calls.
Additionally, your "unavailable" message can be updated at any time.

4. Turn misconduct into good manners. Whether you're in line at the
grocery store or on the sidelines at your child's soccer game, eVoice is
your virtual receptionist who never calls in sick. When you can't take
calls, you can rest easy knowing that callers will be greeted
professionally and their message transcription will be quickly sent to
you.

5. Be in the know without creating disruption. According to an Ayer's
Report, some 25 million meetings take place in corporate America every
day. With all that time spent in meetings, it's easy to miss important
phone calls and messages. However, instead of disrupting a meeting to
walk out and check a message, eVoice allows you the ability to transcribe
your voicemail to text. It's a quiet solution to keep you in the know and
allows you to respond quickly and inconspicuously if necessary via your
mobile device. Robin Feltner, CEO of Supernatural Botanicals, said "I
look at eVoice(R) as my newest employee. It has been extremely effective,
and urgent calls can be routed directly to my BlackBerry, so I'm always
in touch."

"The mobile phone is one of the most powerful tools for small businesses,
but there are challenges that go along with being always on and always
available," said Mike Pugh, vice president, marketing of j2 Global.
"eVoice helps to manage that balance, with features that enable us to be
courteous to others while on the road and at home without compromising
our ability to connect with our customers, vendors, and staff whenever
duty calls."
