Virtual PBX Receives 2007 Product of the Year Award from Communications Solutions

    SAN JOSE, Calif., June 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Virtual PBX(R) inventor and
 leading supplier of hosted PBX services, today announced that Technology
 Marketing Corporation's (TMC) Communications Solutions
 (http://www.tmcnet.com/comsol) has named the Virtual PBX Service as a
 recipient of a 2007 Product of the Year Award.
 
     Virtual PBX provides businesses with a hosted phone service that can
 quickly and inexpensively establish a sophisticated phone system that
 integrates remote employees under one or more main business numbers,
 regardless of where they take calls - at headquarters, branch offices, home
 offices, or on the road. Because Virtual PBX is hosted, there's no need to
 purchase expensive equipment or technology.
 
     In December of 2007, Virtual PBX released its new VPBX SmartID(TM) an
 all-new, next generation Caller ID service, and the VPBX Recording
 Manager(TM), which allows easy recording, upload, and management of a full
 library of Auto-Attendant greetings for every client.
 
     The VPBX SmartID(TM) feature adds customizable digital displays and
 verbal information about the purpose and nature of each call. Business
 professionals can easily see and hear when an incoming call is a business
 call rather than a personal call, find out what business it is for, and
 know what function inside the business has been dialed, such as sales,
 support, or customer service.
 
     The VPBX Recording Manager feature helps Virtual PBX customers maintain
 and manage a library of automated greetings used to answer incoming phone
 calls. Using VPBX Recording Manager, the company's customers can easily add
 new greetings to their systems, assign separate greetings to different
 business numbers, and change the greeting manually or automatically.
 
     "Virtual PBX is proud to be recognized with this award for its
 dedication and hard work in developing such a unique and innovative product
 for the communications industry," said Greg Brashier, COO of Virtual PBX.
 "This recognition serves as a proof-point that we provide small businesses
 and corporations with the most complete hosted PBX service available in the
 market."
 
     "Virtual PBX has been recognized with a 2007 Product of the Year Award
 for their excellence in the advancement of voice, data and/or video
 communications," said Rich Tehrani, TMC President and Group Editor-in-Chief
 of Communications Solutions, "Virtual PBX has proven they are committed to
 quality and excellence in solutions that benefit the customer experience as
 well as ROI for the companies that use them. I am pleased to honor their
 hard work and accomplishments and look forward to more innovative solutions
 from them in the future."
 
     The eighth annual Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award
 recognizes the vision, leadership and attention to detail that are the
 hallmarks of the prestigious award. The most innovative products and
 services brought to market in 2007 were selected as recipients of this
 year's Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award for their
 groundbreaking achievement.
 
     The 2007 Product of the Year Award winners can be found on the
