    Los Angeles, California - April 10, 2007 - Saudi Prince Al Hussein Bin Talal, has invested $32.5 million, with the intention to launch Toll Free Yellow Pages, Corp. , as the nation’s first toll free directory and comparison shopping service, over the telephone.

    Rob Weinstein, Vice President of Toll Free Yellow Pages, Corp. remarked, “We feel that our service will become highly viral and will spread like wildfire. Our investors also saw this opportunity as well. We spent 4 months writing the business plan for this concept and within the first 20 minutes of presenting this idea to our investors we were able to attract nearly $40 million in start-up capital. The concept and the Toll Free Yellow Pages service marks and trademarks really speak for themselves.”

    Toll Free Yellow Pages will be offering a free alternative to using 411. As many wireless telephone users know, 411 charges excessive fees, sometimes ranging over $2 per call. Toll Free Yellow Pages, a pioneer in the yellow pages over the telephone industry, will be eliminating all fees charged to the consumer by offering a free directory service over the telephone with 1-877-YellowPages (1-877-935-5697) and 1-866-YellowPages (1-866-935-5697). As an added service, the company has partnered with the highly popular comparison shopping site www.discountmore.com to offer consumers comparison shopping over the telephone.

    The company has partnered with one of the key players in comparison shopping, www.discountmore.com, called “The Search Engine of Comparison Shopping Sites,” with its highly popular meta-search feature enabling consumers to search 25 comparison shopping sites at the same time. Currently, the company has peaked the interest of several key players in the business community. One being the head professor of USC’s (University of Southern California) Business/Entrepreneur Program, Mr. Bill Crookston, a current board member of the company. According to Weinstein, “We are currently negotiating with several CEO’s and high level executives of publicly traded NASDAQ and NYSE companies to bring onboard as directors.”

    Mr. Weinstein continued, “Getting the right talent onboard is key to the success of the company. We have a few people in mind in the telecom industry that we wish to target.”

    The Toll Free Yellow Pages service is set to launch sometime in the second half of 2007. Local and national businesses in Los Angeles, CA; San Francisco, CA; Bakersfield, CA; Las Vegas, NV; New York City, NY; Denver, CO; Miami, FL; Oklahoma City, OK; Columbus, OH, and Dallas, TX interested in advertising can call (866) YP-TOLLFREE or 1-866-978-6553.

    Toll Free Yellow Pages is a free yellow pages directory company with popular service brands such as “Toll Free Yellow Pages,” “1-877-YellowPages,” “1-866-YellowPages,” and “Let Your Phone Do The Walking.” The company is a pioneer in the Toll Free Yellow Pages industry owning several Federal trademark rights that established the company as a key player in the yellow pages directory assistance over the telephone industry.
