CALLWAVE UNVEILS "FOLLOW ME HOME" MOBILE PHONE FEATURE.

Tele-Service News • August 1, 2005 •

CallWave, Inc. (Nasdaq:CALL), Santa Barbara. Calif., a leading provider of VoIP enhanced services, has launched its new Follow Me Home(SM) feature for mobile phones. Follow Me Home allows CallWave subscribers to automatically receive calls destined for their mobile phone on a designated landline when their mobile phone is either turned off or out of the coverage area.

The new feature not only enables users to receive important calls they otherwise might have missed, but it also enables them to save money. Subscribers can turn off their cell phone when at home or in the office and still receive their calls, saving mobile minutes in the process.

Follow Me Home is equally beneficial for consumers with poor mobile phone reception in their home or office. Users can avoid low voice quality phone conversations simply by turning off their mobile phone while at home, knowing that calls intended for that phone will automatically ring on their designated higher quality work or home phone.

The new Follow Me Home feature will be available first as part of CallWave's new Mobile Prepaid Phone service, also announced today, initially launched to CallWave's existing subscriber base. CallWave will offer the feature as part of its CallWave for Cell Phones service shortly thereafter.

"When at home or in the office, consumers often prefer to receive calls on their landline phone, since the call quality is better and it means they don't have to worry about using up precious mobile minutes," said David Hofstatter, president and CEO of CallWave. "Our new Follow Me Home feature is yet another example of how we are making it easier for mobile phone users to save money and take important calls on the most convenient device."
