Press Release Summary: This week sees the much anticipated launch of the new Binatone ‘Speakeasy’ mobile phone by specialist mobile supplier Communic8 Ltd (www.silverphone.co.uk). It has a large screen, big buttons and many other features to assist the elderly and visually impaired.

Press Release Body: This week sees the much anticipated launch of the new Binatone ‘Speakeasy’ mobile phone by specialist mobile supplier Communic8 Ltd (www.silverphone.co.uk). Incredibly simple to use the new mobile will be the UK’s lowest priced big button mobile phone retailing at an introductory price of just £49.99.

Folkestone based Communic8 Ltd have been leading the market in mobile phones for the older generation and sight impaired users for some time now, however big button mobiles such as the popular ‘Emporia’ have all been high-end products costing upwards of £150. The new Speakeasy mobile has been launched as a direct response to a need for a low-cost version and is the very first big button mobile phone available in the UK at a truly budget price.

In a world in which mobile phones have become increasingly smaller, and stacked with complex features and wizardry, Binatone’s Speakeasy offers a no-nonsense, back-to-basics alternative that is sure to be welcomed by many who feel somewhat technically challenged by the many different mobile phones available today.

The arrival of the Speakeasy opens a new chapter for Binatone who have become a familiar and trusted name in home electronics, and for many decades have sold many millions of products in over 55 countries worldwide.

Neil Scanlon, the UK Sales and Development Manager for Binatone says “This innovation for the Big Button Mobile GSM brings a specialist product that the market has been missing for some time - at a very accessible launch SRP of £49.99 Binatone are delighted to have partnered with Communic8 to offer supply to specialist retail and mail order markets.”

Although easy to use the Speakeasy boasts some impressive features including an extra large display, speakerphone, loud ringer and strong vibration alerts. The model is Digital Hearing Aid Compatible and also fitted with a useful power torch function. Whilst being designed to incorporate big buttons the phone still retains a slim and comfortable size. Other features include caller ID, direct SMS key, and a unique notepad at the back of the handset. Importantly the phone is SIM free and is not locked to any network.

The price breakthrough of the Binatone Speakeasy looks set to see a dramatic increase in the number of elderly people now being able to afford a large button mobile phone. Many will discover for the first time the convenience and added security that a mobile phone provides. “For the first time, Elderly people have access to a fantastic, easy to use mobile phone at an affordable price and we are delighted that Binatone have decided to work with us to launch the Speakeasy mobile phone” commented Stewart Smith Managing Director of Communic8 Ltd.

The new Binatone Speakeasy is available for consumers through Communic8 and can be ordered directly from the company via their website at www.silverphone.co.uk or by calling the sales office on 08701 600 600. Retailers wishing to stock the Binatone Speakeasy can also contact Communic8 via the same telephone number.

At a time when money is tight for everyone the Binatone Speakeasy is sure to make a truly thoughtful Christmas gift for an elderly relative at a price that won’t break the bank.

Press Release Summary: Lloyds TSB becomes first to provide mobile phone bank account transfers in response to growing customer demand.

Press Release Body: Lloyds TSB has become the first bank in the UK to offer a range of banking services allowing customers to monitor and manage their money on a mobile phone.

The new Lloyds TSB Mobile Services are unique in giving customers the ability to move money instantly between accounts through a Mobile Banking application and receive text messages about their finances.

Mobile Services allows customers to securely move money between their Lloyds TSBaccounts on their mobile phone. They will also be able to view their account balances, check their last six transactions and receive a wide range of text alerts, to keep them up-to-date with their finances.

The new service will also include an Overseas Transaction Alert. Subscribers will receive an alert if their debit card is used to withdraw cash from a cashpoint or to make a purchase abroad. This alert is designed to give customers control and peace of mind in always knowing what is happening on their savings or current accounts.

Lloyds TSB has four million customers registered for its Internet Banking service and new research2 shows that nearly three quarters (74 per cent) of people use Internet Banking to keep track of their finances.

However, the research also reveals that two thirds (60 per cent) want to be able to keep tabs on their accounts using their mobile phone, while half (53 per cent) want to be able to actively move money between accounts. Over a third (36 per cent) say that being able to manage their money in this way would help them to keep a closer eye on their finances.

Catherine McGrath, director of current accounts, Lloyds TSB said: “Technology is evolving at lightning speed and with these changes come new demands from our customers and new possibilities for products and services to meet their needs.”

The research highlighted the growing trend for mobile phones to be used for a range of purposes other than phone calls. Eight out of ten (81 per cent) say they send or receive texts; more than half (57 per cent) use their phone as a camera; a third (36 per cent) use it as a diary; a quarter listen to the radio through their phones; and a fifth (19 per cent) access the Internet.

Catherine McGrath adds, “Gone are the days when we used our phones only to call friends and family. Mobile phones are now part of our daily lives in a way few would have imagined just a few years ago. Just as Internet banking has taken the country by storm over the past decade, mobile banking is now set to change the way we mange our money.”

“Many customers are already used to the idea of keeping tabs on their bank accountusing a mobile phone, but we’re launching the next generation of mobile banking that allows people to stay in real control of their money wherever they are.”

Press Release Summary: I-VoIP.co.uk the leading U.K. supplier of Skype Phones and VoIP Phone devices re-launched this week as an innovative new form of price comparison service. I-VoIP has ceased selling products directly to consumers and has instead turned its knowledge of the VoIP market to the benefit of consumers by providing reviews and insight into a huge array of VoIP products and services from leading providers.

Press Release Body: I-VoIP.co.uk the leading U.K. supplier of Skype Phones and VoIP Phone devices re-launched this week as an innovative new form of price comparison service. I-VoIP has ceased selling products directly to consumers and has instead turned its knowledge of the VoIP market to the benefit of consumers by providing reviews and insight into a huge array of VoIP products and services from leading providers.

Since EBAY purchased Skype in 2006 popular awareness of the existence and benefits of VoIP services has exploded in the UK and across the world. With this increased awareness has come the entry of global players into the manufacture and distribution of VoIP and Skype phones and hardware. This period has also seen a proliferation of new VoIP service providers offering ever cheaper rates and value added benefits from voicemail to call management.

Throughout this time I-VoIP has expanded both its product range and the information it offers to users. I-VoIP was conceived with the dual purpose of selling VoIP and Skype phones and providing all the help and advice that non-technical users needed to select the right VoIP device for their particular situation. As product prices came down so the demand for I-VoIP’s information and experience shot up. This trend lead to the decision to stop sourcing and selling products and instead to expand the company’s information services and to partner with other larger retailers to offer consumers the best advice and prices on VoIP products and services all in one place.

Now I-VoIP has been re-launched with improved advice and support on VoIP products including video reviews, product ratings and updated information on VoIP service providers. Furthermore thanks to the use of the new E-Farm platform I-VoIP is able to offer its customers the best prices available on the internet from leading suppliers across a huge range of VoIP and Skype products.

“We are very excited about this change of direction. It represents an evolution rather that a revolution in terms of our business model because I-VoIP’s success has always been built upon the provision of simple and impartial advice to VoIP users. We can now offer our users all the advice that they need along with the best prices available online in once place. All we have done is cut out the middle man only in this case the middle man happened to be us!” – Stefan Michalak, Director, I-VoIP.co.uk

For additional information on the new I-VoIP.co.uk website, email
enquiries@i-voip.co.uk I-VoIP or visit http://www.i-voip.co.uk.

About I-VoIP.co.uk:
I-VoIP was founded in early 2005 as an independent online retailer selling the latest Skype and VoIP products. As one of the first retailers of such products in the U.K. I-VoIP experienced tremendous growth and success expanding its product range and moving premises several times. The I-VoIP concept was motivated by the desire to provide straightforward and impartial advice to VoIP users to enable them to make the right choices in a complicated nascent marketplace. In its new incarnation I-VoIP is better able than ever to offer users the tools they need to make the right decisions about which VoIP hardware they purchase and which VoIP services they use.
