LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - Oct 6, 2011) - eVoice^®, A Radically Better Phone Number^® and brand of technology leader j2 Global Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: [ JCOM ]), today announced new features that provide small business owners with the ability to more efficiently operate their businesses without compromising the freedom to work from anywhere, anytime.

"Small business owners know that one phone call can make or break a sale," said Mike Pugh, vice president, marketing for j2 Global. "With eVoice, entrepreneurs can be out of the office, or even out of the country, and yet never be out of touch. And when you do choose to unplug -- or a dead mobile phone battery chooses for you -- eVoice has your back, answering and routing calls automatically and professionally."

Key features and benefits of the new eVoice enhancements include:

• International Access - Small business owners can now forward calls to international phone numbers. A vacation rental owner that wants to spend four months establishing a new market in Europe can now forward calls to their temporary residence overseas. This enhancement also allows small business owners to make calls to any international destination using their eVoice number.*
  
  
• Call Routing Scheduler - the most frequently requested upgrade by eVoice customers, provides busy mobile professionals with the ability to selectively schedule a time to route calls. Forwarding business calls to your home or mobile phone is great for a flexible workplace, but doesn't allow you any time off when your phone is constantly ringing. This enhancement gives customers the ability to customize when calls forward and when they go straight to voicemail. Spouses of entrepreneurs everywhere will be happy with this one.
  
  
• After Hours Greeting - allows a business to provide a custom message to callers after business hours. Rather than hearing the normal menu options, only to find out no one is available, callers hear a custom "after hours" message before being sent directly to voicemail. This is a great way for small businesses to quickly service customers and an opportunity for them to quickly highlight a key product or service.
