WiFiMobile enjoy control of their own destiny

Los Angeles, California September 7th 2007

WiFiMobile, a leading player in the mobile VoIP space today highlighted the benefits
of having their own VoIP client rather than relying on Network Operators supplying
handsets with the manufacturer's client pre-installed.

Back in April this year both Vodafone and Orange in the UK instructed a major
handset manufacturer to disable the standard Internet Telephony from their top of
the range model. This move left a sour taste for the vast majority of mobile VoIP
operators as their software relies entirely on the standard VoIP client software
stack being installed. Without this their service simply won't function.

In June this year the OMTP (Open Mobile Terminal Platform) announced that operators
are entitled to remove or lock down VoIP applications on subsidised handsets for as
long as the minimum contract period. Only after the contract period ends can users
request VoIP functionality to be restored. This once again eliminates VoIP providers
who rely on the pre installed client being present.

WiFiMobile's oneFone is a self developed and wholly owned VoIP client, and is a
stand alone application. oneFone offers full VoIP functionality even if the Network
Operators remove the standard client.

The company's US based developers are continually working on new features and
benefits. Presence is fully supported where users can see who is online at any time.
Call conferencing is next on the list with VCC (Voice Call Continuity) coming soon.
This will enable seamless handover between Wi-Fi and GSM.

The software has features that are particularly important for the Enterprise market
where select Nokia devices become pure extensions of a corporate IP PBX system.

CEO Gerry O'Prey says "Certain Network Operators are currently taking a stance
against mobile VoIP as they have a right to do so. We have taken the decision to
actually develop a solution without relying on other factors. Unlike other mobile
VOIP service providers we own all the Intellectual property rights to our software".
