"We first introduced Privus Mobile to the world through our Windows Mobile application a little over a year ago, and since then we've made tremendous strides to bring our innovative Caller ID application to new operating systems. Now we're expanding that service to give Privus Mobile's Windows Mobile users greater call management capabilities with a free caller name lookup upgrade, and what better place to introduce the new upgrade than on the new Windows Mobile experience with Windows Mobile 6.5 and Windows Marketplace for Mobile," said Greg Smith, president of Privus Mobile.
"Windows Mobile users really appreciate the capabilities and depth of their operating system, and Microsoft has done a fantastic job of creating a way to make applications like Privus Mobile more dynamic than ever. Privus Mobile's upgrade is another easy-to-use feature that allows you to type in any number - whether it's on your phone, your home phone or your friend's phone - and utilize the same Privus Mobile technology to obtain the caller's information. Privus Mobile's Caller ID and caller name lookup provide a more expansive Caller ID service than anyone has ever had - landline included - and we're excited that it found a home on the Windows Marketplace."

Since its launch in 2008, Privus Mobile has helped tens of thousands of smartphone owners around the world better manage their calls. Not only can customers better identify the caller, Privus Mobile helps users quickly save the caller's information to their contacts list with just a push of a button.
