News: Voice Mobility Announces Three-year Deal with Jippii in the UKAgreement with major UK ISP is the first step to bringing Voice Mobility's Unified Communications(TM) solution to Internet users across Europe VANCOUVER, Jan 25, 2001 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Voice Mobility International, Inc., (OTCBB: VMII and FWB: VMY), the developer of the Unified Communications(TM) software suite, has signed a three-year contract to provide its Unified Communications solution to Jippii UK, a leading UK Internet company. "This deal is an important step for us in our mission to become a world leader in the unified communications space because we are up against some world-class competition," says Voice Mobility's CEO Jay Hutton. "This will not only provide us with significant revenues, it will also open other doors for us in Europe, an area our sales and marketing teams has targeted for rapid growth in 2001." Voice Mobility will install, in Jippii's London facility, our Unified Communications platform that is designed to support the E1 telephony interface and European dialing rules. "The timing is also especially good, because Europe has just deregulated the last remaining segments of its telecommunications industry. That means there is going to be more competition for customers, and Internet and telephone companies will have a greater need to provide value-added products like ours," says Mr. Hutton. Jippii UK is a multi-service operator, providing hosting, e-commerce and turnkey ISP services as well as other high-speed, dedicated Internet connectivity products to a wide variety of customers, including leaders in the finance, education, government, manufacturing and telecommunications sectors. As a Class A telecommunications licence-holder, Jippii UK provides Primary Rate Interfaces (PRI) and Direct In-Dial (DID) services to over 10,000 customers in the U.K. Jippii also has links to the main Internet Exchange Points in Europe and the U.S. "Voice Mobility has the kind of service that will help cement the bond between us and our customers," says Dave Clarke, Jippii UK's Managing Director. "Voice Mobility's Unified Communications software suite puts control of personal communications back in the hands of users by bringing together office, home, mobile phone and pager numbers, voice-mail boxes and fax numbers into a single phone number and mailbox. Users will not want to drop the service once they've discovered how easy it makes managing all their different telecommunications devices." Clarke noted that they were also attracted to Voice Mobility because their pricing policy means Jippii can begin enjoying incremental revenues virtually as soon as they deploy the system to their end-users.
