Las Vegas, NV / SAN DIEGO, Calif., March 31, 2008--? On the eve of North America's premier
mobile industry tradeshow CTIA-WIRELESS, V-ENABLE, leader in local mobile search and
directory assistance services, announced today the release of its Web Services API, which will
allow web and mobile brands to add a local search field to their sites.
V-ENABLE's Web Services API, along with the company's Mobile Internet Services, which
allow companies to a have a customized and branded local search site, show the company's
expansion into new off-deck local search services.
"Developers looking to meet the demands of local search, donâ??t need to search any further,"
said V-ENABLE Founder Dipanshu Sharma. "Our Web Services API is a natural plug and play
solution for companies that will enhance their mobile and PC-based applications without the
hassle of managing complex search algorithms designed specifically for the millions of chaotic
local listings or driving consumers away from their destination. All of this is provided at a cost
that our partners love: free"

popular on-deck application currently available on carriers such as MetroPCS, and Alltel.

for more than 15 million business names and categories, but also for 150 million residential
listings. Additional features such as maps and driving directions are also available.
In addition to the unique category search and residential search features, V-ENABLE's Web
Services API includes ad monetization through pay-per-click and pay-per-call revenue streams
