Google Mobile Expands Click-To-Call into China

VoIP, Inc.’s Chairman and CEO Anthony J. Cataldo, VoIP, Inc.'s disclosed, for the first time publicly, that Google Mobile has expanded the use of “Click to call” technology into China and eight additional international markets using VoIP, Inc.’s network. The announcement, made in an online interview conducted by Mr. Cataldo at www.ceocast.com, means that users who employ Google for mobile search in China, can now call directly from their cell phone to an advertiser identified through Google’s mobile search capability.

According to a Google spokesperson, China marks the eighth and largest international market in which Google will exclusively use VoIP’s network to connect calls. VoIP’s network is also being used by Google in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and Japan, and recently expanded into international France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, China, Ireland, India and Australia.

VoIP, a leading provider of turnkey Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communications solutions for service providers, resellers and consumers worldwide, receives an undisclosed fee each time it connects a call between the consumer and advertiser.

"We are pleased that Google has decided to further expand the use of our network and its incorporated technology platform to connect consumers and merchants for mobile applications," said Mr. Cataldo in the interview. "The use of Google and “Click to Call” technology in mobile applications represents a logical way for consumers to access information and contact merchants at a time when they desire to shop for products and services. We are excited to work with the leader in search technology as it enters the next frontier in search technology."

The use of VoIP's network and incorporated technology by Google in China follows the launch by Google, less than two months ago, of Google Maps (http://maps.google.com), which also uses VoIP's technology in a manner similar to the mobile applications in international markets.
