PhoneFromHere.com to Work with Digium on Verbal Communications Web Application --
PhoneFromHere.com Improves Audio Quality of VoIP Web Application --
(Manchester, UK and Huntsville, AL - April 9, 2008) - PhoneFromHere.com, providers
of customized real-time verbal communication for Websites and social networks,
announced today that they are working with Digium®, Inc. The five-year agreement
formalizes this relationship, which aims to improve and commercialize the embedded
Java softphone created by Digium engineers.
"Digium continues to work closely with the development community which allows us to
keep in tune with new innovations. Working with PhoneFromHere.com is another good
example of this," said Jim Webster, Director of Technology Partnerships at Digium.
"PhoneFromHere.com has a specific expertise that will help Digium add value to
another one of its many assets."
The code will be used to empower PhoneFromHere.com's verbal communication
application. PhoneFromHere.com gives Web users the opportunity to leverage
person-to-person (or person-to-group) speech within the context of a Website -

opportunities. What makes PhoneFromHere.com different is that Web users are not
required to download any software, surrender personal information, or even use a
phone.
"The Digium code will greatly improve the audio quality of our technology. Plus, it
comes from a prominent pedigree of code and developers that created the likes of
Asterisk and IAX, among others," said Tim Panton, founder and CEO,
PhoneFromHere.com. "This opportunity presents the chance for us to contribute new
ways to add value to a particular pre-existing asset of Digium's."
