CallmyName™ Unveils Its New Socially-Aware Global Dialer for Android

WEMBLEY, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CallmyName^TM, with its revolutionary proprietary name-dialing solution, continues its global service expansion by unveiling a new social dialer application for Android.

CallmyName™ released today a new version of its pioneering social dialing application. The application introduces an intelligent Caller-ID capability that automatically brings-up highly relevant social updates or business information during incoming or outgoing calls. For instance, when a call is received, the Caller-ID will automatically display the caller's photo, the latest Facebook updates, latest tweet, and a "happy birthday" indication, when relevant. This exciting feature will also work while calling or receiving calls from businesses. The user will see the business web-site, opening hours, email addresses, and a map with driving directions.
The social & business updated information is also presented while searching a business or personal contact in the application's comprehensive contacts book.

The new social dialer is another step to fulfill CallmyName vision, to consolidate all of today's disparate forms of communication – phone numbers, emails, social accounts, URLs etc. with a single, easy-to-remember self-managed contact identity – a mobile call-name. People who wish to call or reach another person or a business, will simply type the name of the destination and press the "dial" button.

Ariel Efrati, CallmyName™ Group CEO: "For the last several years we've been working hard at CallmyName to decipher the DNA of making communication natural and exciting. Much like when web's domain names enabled the Internet identity revolution, now I can easily imagine a world where we direct all our numerous communication channels - email, IM, phone calls etc. via a single, meaningful mobile call-name – be it our real name, brand name, professional nick name, etc."

The new CallmyName application is now available for free on Google Play™. The hundreds of thousands who are already using the application just need to update the existing version. The social features for IPhone will be available within a few weeks. Private users who download the CallmyName application are able to register their own personal mobile call-name at no cost.
