FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., May 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- iTalk Inc. (OTCQB: TALK) (OTCBB: TALK) ("iTalk" or the "Company") is pleased to announce today that it has executed the definitive documents completing the acquisition of RocketVoIP, an established 10-year-old residential and business broadband VoIP phone service provider.

"The completion of the RocketVoIP deal is the first of several potential complimentary technology acquisitions that we have identified that would allow iTalk to immediately expand its product offerings, customer base, and backend process capabilities, in this particular case, in the exploding VoIP services marketplace," commented David F. Levy, Chief Executive Officer of iTalk Inc.  "Over the next few weeks, we will work with RocketVoIP to fully integrate their products and technologies into the iTalk mobile systems platform and will continue to pursue additional acquisitions that will further strengthen the iTalk brand."

VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) is a rapidly expanding technology that allows telephone calls to be made over computer networks like the Internet.  VoIP and mobile VoIP offer a substantial cost savings over traditional long distance telephone calls.  Third party independent research has indicated that the future for mobile VoIP technologies and services is extremely positive.  In a recent report published by Infiniti Research Ltd., the global mobile VoIP solutions market is predicted to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 64.6% over the period of 2011-15.  Research analysts at mobile telecom specialists Juniper Research Ltd., are also very bullish about mobile VoIP.  In late 2012, they released a report that predicted the mobile VoIP user base would expand to more than 1 billion by 2017.

Under terms of the definitive acquisition agreement, as consideration for the purchase of RocketVoIP, iTalk has agreed to issue 500,000 restricted common shares of TALK to shareholders of RocketVoIP.  In addition, iTalk will make two separate onetime payments of Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000), with the first payment being due within 10 days of LOI execution and the second payment being due 30 days thereafter.  No free trading shares were issued as part of this transaction.
