SAN DIEGO (Business Wire EON) April 22, 2008 -- V-ENABLE, leader in local mobile search and directory assistance services announced today the availability of a full-featured downloadable version of FreeMobile411 to Sprint customers. The announcement comes hot on the heels of the launch of the FreeMobile411 mobile Internet site earlier this month.

There are several mobile and voice based services that can help find listings, get maps, driving directions, see what's nearby, but none of the services bring it all together, with the touch of a live operator
Push TALK and Speak to Search

This easy to use and fast voice-enabled application allows users to simply speak what they are looking for by holding the talk key of their phone, and see the results displayed on the screen within seconds. Unlike most other directory assistance solutions, FreeMobile411 not only gives access to 140 million residential and 14 million business listings but it also allows users to browse by category, get maps, driving directions, see other businesses nearby and more, all for free. On top of all that, the user is also provided with the option to connect to an operator, if still needed, at any time during the process. FreeMobile411 is an ad-supported application that only displays advertising when it is relevant to the users search.

FreeMobile411 functions identically to V-ENABLEs flagship product Mobile411 which is available on deck with select carriers, such as Alltel and MetroPCS. Now, with the release of the off deck JAVA version, Sprint users can enjoy all the benefits of a complete local search experience.

There are several mobile and voice based services that can help find listings, get maps, driving directions, see whats nearby, but none of the services bring it all together, with the touch of a live operator, said Craig Hagopian, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of V-ENABLE Inc.
