voicemail and have e-mail read to you over the telephone. Due to the
large influx of users, they eliminated the their unlimited toll free
service. since then, Philadelphia has been added to the cities with local
access numbers and other features are being added as you'll read in the
following message.

Dear Shoutmail.com Members,
First of all, I want to thank you for having helped make Shoutmail such a
resounding success. In the two months since we publicly announced
Shoutmail, we have surpassed 350,000 members. Thousands of users have
been registering every day for the Shoutmail service since we officially
launched in December. Your response has been overwhelming.
Next, I want to announce a new Shoutmail service - MyShoutmail.
Shoutmail's underlying technology can phone-enable any database residing
on the Internet. Our initial offering was to connect you to your email by
phone and wireless device. Now, we can connect you to all of your
personalized information gathered in one place on the Web. We've gone
beyond email-by-phone; now you can get the Web-by-phone.
MyShoutmail is the first operational service of its kind. MyShoutmail
allows you to maintain a complete Web portal page on which you can
customize information that you can listen to over any phone. With
MyShoutmail, you now receive all the capabilities of the Internet - email,
voice email, instant messaging, information, and soon, e-commerce - over
any ordinary telephone, cell phone or new wireless Web phone, without PC,
modem or ISP. MyShoutmail allows you to choose from approximately 800
topics (news, weather, financials, sports, entertainment news, horoscopes,
soap operas, etc.). Shoutmail continually updates the information for
you. Personal stock portfolio and lottery numbers are coming soon.
Here are some of the other recent developments and new features in your
Shoutmail account. We are continually expanding the service in response to
user requests, new technologies and emerging trends. Let us know what you
want.
NETCLUBS AND INSTANT MESSAGING With your Shoutmail membership, you can now
join NetClubs online community messaging service and keep a "Who's Online"
list to track designated relatives, friends or colleagues to see if they
are online. Shoutmail enables NetClubs users who have wireless Web
connections via new WAP-based "smart" phones to interact with groups and
online buddies in real-time by exchanging text-based instant messages from
their phones. In the near future, when users dial in over a telephone to
check for email messages, Shoutmail will notify members if anyone on their
"NetClub" list is currently on the Web. Shoutmail will then offer to send
the "buddy" an instant message from the menu of pre-programmed scripts, as
well as letting users send a downloadable or streaming voice-email
message.
WIRELESS EMAIL Shoutmail has expanded and improved its wireless access to
email for new wireless Web phones based on the Wireless Application
Protocol (WAP). In addition to recording voice replies to email rather
than typing out messages on miniscule keypads, users can access all the
message folders, see new messages first, send voice memos and
automatically log into their account saving time and energy.
THE SHOUTMAIL AFFILIATE PROGRAM Shoutmail has officially launched its
Affiliate program. Under the program, Shoutmail acts as an Application
Service Provider to phone-enable an Affiliate's email service or Web-based
content. The Program is aimed at email service providers, such as ISPs,
Web portals and the corporate enterprise, and Web sites that want to
provide phone access to their content. Shoutmail is a turnkey telephone
and wireless solution for connecting the Internet and the phone. Thanks to
its open platform, Shoutmail is able to phone-enable any database that
resides on the Internet, including all email services and personalized
portal pages. Affiliates already include Mail.com and Myownemail.
FIRST LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE FOR DELIVERING THE INTERNET WITHOUT A PC
Shoutmail.com is the first company to construct a local access telecom
system for Web-to-phone services. To support its Web-by-phone service,
Shoutmail, with the help of telecom partners, has implemented a nationwide
infrastructure of POPs, spanning more than 10 states and hundreds of
cities. You simply call a local access number, similar to your ISP
service, which allows you to instantly check your email. The local access
list for Shoutmail now includes: New York, New Jersey, Washington (D.C.),
Seattle, Massachusetts, Chicago, Maryland, Virginia, Northern California,
Los Angeles, Detroit, and Philadelphia. To find the local number nearest
you, visit us at www.Shoutmail.com and use the Local Number Finder located
at the bottom of the page, or in the Preferences Page inside your account.
FUTURES: E-COMMERCE SERVICES We also plan to phone-enable e-commerce on
the Web. Shoutmail members will be able to shop at their favorite
Web-based e-commerce sites by phone. They will be able to order from their
favorite online catalogs, place bids at Internet-based auctions and
receive special offers over any telephone or, cell phone or wireless
device. Stay tuned to our Web site.
I want to thank you again for joining Shoutmail and am looking forward to
hearing from you on what you think of our Web-by-phone service. I invite
you to personalize your new MyShoutmail page today, and never be further
than a phone call away from all your information on the Web.
Sincerely,
Jacob Guedalia CEO, Shoutmail.com
