PENSACOLA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 3, 2006--Super Technologies today announced 
that SIPphone, the VoIP platform and directory behind the popular Gizmo Project Internet 
calling software, is using its DIDx service to provide local phone numbers for several 
countries in the European Union. 


Through Super Technologies' DIDxchange global DID ("direct inward dialing") marketplace, 
Gizmo Project now offers "Virtual Numbers" for customers in France, UK and Spain. These 
numbers enable users to have their own traditional, local phone number for VoIP-enabled 
devices and "softphones" like Gizmo Project. Using an easily recognizable local phone 
number, friends and business contacts can reach Gizmo users no matter where they happen 
to be physically located. Additional "Virtual Numbers" for international customers will be rolled 
out in the future. 

"The Internet opens geographic boundaries so that the idea of doing business inside just one 
country is being superseded by a focus on competing in the global marketplace," said Super 
Technologies, Inc. DIDx VP Suzanne Bowen. "DIDx assists the best Internet Telephony 
Service Providers such as Gizmo Project to do exactly that. Gizmo will now be able to 
automatically sell the DID's from DIDxchange under the average consumer target price. 
Global carriers can now make cutting edge companies such as SIPphone their customer 
simply by joining the DIDxchange." 

The Gizmo Project uses an Internet connection to allow users to make free phone calls using 
a Windows, Macintosh or Linux personal computer. Gizmo also sports features like 
conference calling, voice-mail and instant messaging (IM) that is completely inter-operable 
with Google Talk and hundreds of other IM networks. Inexpensive add-ons like Call In and 
Call Out allows Gizmo callers to connect to others who may be using landlines and cell 
phones. 

"The number one feature request for Gizmo we're hearing from International users is to have 
a familiar, local number that their friends, family and work associates can dial," said Jason 
Droege, President of SIPphone. "Tapping into the DIDx service for these and future `virtual' 
numbers will fuel growth of the Gizmo Project worldwide."
