PINGERsm NOW LETS MAC OS X USERS EASILY SEND
MOBILE VOICE MESSAGES TO ANYONE OR ANY GROUP
IN THEIR APPLE ADDRESS BOOK

Macintosh Users Can Simply Call Pinger and Say Any Name in their
Address Book to Send a Pinger Message



SAN JOSE, CA — May 16, 2007 — Pinger, Inc., a mobile voice messaging service, today announced it has made its service even easier for Macintosh users by releasing a simple application that lets its users upload their Apple Address Book contacts in seconds. Pinger now supports the Apple Address Book and Microsoft Entourage, the two most popular email programs for Macintosh users.


Macintosh users can import their contacts into Pinger and instantly send quick voice messages. Sending a message is as easy as calling Pinger on a mobile phone, saying the name of the contact and leaving the voice message.


"Pinger customers tell us they love using their voice to send thoughtful, expressive messages to friends, colleagues or whole groups with just one call," said Greg Woock, CEO of Pinger. "Adding support for the Apple Address Book continues our promise to be as inclusive as possible with our service. Now Pinger works on all major carriers and mobile phones in the US and, more importantly, the Mac that's on my desk."


The Pinger Mac OS X integration is delivered as a System Preferences panel that allows users to select which folders they want synchronized with the Pinger service. The panel is compatible with Mac OS X 10.3 and higher.


Pinger is currently in beta and free*. Anyone with a US mobile phone can sign up at www.pinger.com and download the Pinger System Preferences panel. Pinger also supports importing contacts from Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail/Live, AOL, Thunderbird and Palm Desktop.


*Standard voice and messaging rates apply.
