Target: One Million YAC Numbers In Use By Early 2001

31th May 2000 - Yac.com - the fast growing personal communications management company - today announced that it has signed up more than 100,000 users in the six months since its launch. According to YAC, daily sign-ups are increasing at an exponential rate and it is confident of achieving its target of one million users by early 2001.

The majority of people registering for a free YAC Number have come from word-of-mouth recommendations and YAC's hugely successful affiliate programme. Following a second round investment of US$ 12 million, YAC will soon embark on a major marketing campaign that is set to boost subscription even further.

Yac.com offers users a free unique personal number (a YAC Number - which can be acquired through the YAC Web-site www.yac.com) through which they can redirect ALL live calls, voicemail and faxes. Voicemail can be left when a user is unavailable and then emailed as sound files to the user's inbox. Faxes sent to a YAC Number are forwarded to the user's email inbox as a file attachment. YAC also redirects calls for free to 23 countries worldwide.

Mike Feerick CEO of YAC says:
"100,000 users at this stage is a vindication of YAC's vision and demonstrates that there is great demand for the Yac Service. This success firmly establishes YAC as the leader in the personal numbering market, not only in technical innovation, but also in terms of market share - now estimated at well over 20%. This is only the beginning of what we will do."
