WORLDPAGES/WEB YP PARTNERS WITH INTERNET 800 DIRECTORY SAN FRANCISCO [August 3, 1998] San Francisco-based WorldPages/WebYP Inc., http://WorldPages.com , an Internet white and yellow pages directory entered into a strategic alliance with the Internet 800 Directoryä , http://Inter800.com , a toll free internet directory , which also allows for "click-through" Internet telephony. Both Directory services have created search vehicles allowing users to specify queries, which will access their respective WWW databases in order to search for information from both. According to Steven A. Jackson, President of JAServices, Inc., owner of the Internet 800 Directory, "WorldPages users will now have an valuable tool to access toll free numbers by which to call companies for services and products. In addition, the 'Click2Talk' internet telephony application opens up the international market." Essentially, this feature allows for callers from around the world to simply click on a toll free listing within the Internet 800 Directory and be connected, free, over the Internet, to those companies listed. This partnership allows for the combination of WorldPages' comprehensive services, coupled with the Internet 800 Directory's, to be a turnkey, cost-effective e-commerce tool for the users. "The addition of Inter800's toll-free directory adds a unique and valuable resource for WorldPages. It goes beyond what is available elsewhere and is an example of WorldPages bringing the best-of-breed to its users." Said Rick Klein, President of WorldPages/Web YP, Inc. THE INTERNET 800 DIRECTORY The Internet 800 Directory was created on the WWW by JAServices, Inc., as the first and only major toll-free entry into a market that allowed all businesses to be listed, free, and regardless of carrier, as opposed to AT&T's proprietary toll-free Directory. Hundreds of thousands of toll free numbers contained within the Internet 800 Directory are not listed within AT&T's services. Excite, the 2nd most visited search engine in the world, lists the Internet 800 Directory as one of its 5 Recommended Web Sites within its "Business and Investing" topics page. It is also featured in WhoWhere?, InfoSpace, The Internet Yellow Pages, Net2Phone and over 2000 other links. The Directory also supplies its toll free database to Universal Directory Services, Inc. (UDSi), which owns and operates the 1-800-555-1414 voice directory assistance service, which is the only viable alternative to AT&T's toll free directory assistance. The Internet 800 Directory provides listings and searches by company name, business category, 800/888/877 number and by state. Businesses can electronically submit their listing information via the Web site or by dialing a toll-free number or by downloading the IDT Corporation/Net2Phone plug-in to make voice call over the Internet.
