Call Genie Announces Plans for Kelsey's Drilling Down on Local Conference

March 10, 2007

Company will demonstrate its VoMoLo search capabilities throughout the greater San Francisco area

Call Genie Inc. (TSX-V: GNE), the leading provider of Voice-enabled, Mobile Local ("VoMoLo") search solutions to wireless carriers, directory assistance providers and Yellow Pages publishers, today announced its plans for the Kelsey Group's Drilling Down on Local '07: The Annual Silicon Valley Summit to be held in Santa Clara, at the Santa Clara Marriott, on March 19th - 21st.

According to The Kelsey Group's 2006 forecast, global local search revenues will grow from $3.4 billion in 2005 to $13 billion in 2010. "Local" is the Internet's new frontier and one in which investors and local media - including search engines, Yellow Pages, newspapers, television and radio- are keenly engaged.

Drilling Down on Local has become the annual Silicon Valley summit for the leaders and innovators who participate in the local online content and advertising space. As part of its participation in the conference, Call Genie will demonstrate its Enhanced Business Category Search for the greater San Francisco area. Utilizing Call Genie's Enhanced Voice Directory ("EVD™") software, participants of the Conference will be able to stop by Call Genie's booth to locate local restaurants and businesses.

Voice-enabled Mobile Local Search is the newest way for wireless carriers to offer their subscribers enhanced directory assistance based on business category search. Unlike handset software-based solutions, VoMoLo services can be accessed from any wireless network and mobile phone, thus allowing carriers to deploy solutions much faster with a significantly reduced total cost of ownership.

Call Genie's EVD™ platform enables wireless carriers, Yellow Pages publishers and directory assistance providers to offer a valuable new monetization channel. EVD™ provides callers with a rich offering of business category listings that are both location and landmark-based and thus highly targeted and relevant. EVD™ based services can be made available to all wireless subscribers at no incremental cost. This allows all wireless carriers to meaningfully increase average revenue per subscriber (ARPU) with significantly lower deployment and ongoing operational costs.

Call Genie representatives and Category Search Specialists will be available during the Conference. To see a demonstration of EVD™ or learn more about Call Genie, please stop by the Call Genie both or contact us directly at +1 403 268 0411.
