PhoneGuard, Inc., a subsidiary of Options Media Group Holdings,
Inc. (PINKSHEETS: OPMG) (OTCQB: OPMG), a leading provider of mobile
applications software, and Cellairis Franchise Inc., which markets
cellular accessories via its vast network of sales and carrier
distribution channels, announced a partnership today to cross
distribute products in an effort to promote safe driving and
empower consumers to take responsibility for themselves, their
families and their businesses. Together, PhoneGuard and Cellairis
will launch a new smart phone product application suite that helps
prevent distracted driving while offering unparalleled levels of
safety, security and connectivity. A portion of sales will be
donated to the Remember Alex Brown Foundation, organized by the
family of teenager Alex Brown, who tragically lost her life because
of texting and driving.
The new product suite features Text Block,
which uses global positioning satellite (GPS) tracking to disable
keyboard functionality once a vehicle reaches 10 miles per hour, a
Panic Button that automatically dials a
preselected number and delivers to the administrator an exact GPS
location of the user, as well as a host of other personal safety
and security features.
"The relationship between PhoneGuard and Cellairis is about much
more than making great products available to teens, parents and
enterprise customers. It's also about empowering people to make
responsible choices about driving and personal security and, of
course, to support charitable organizations, such as the Remember
Alex Brown Foundation," said Keith St. Clair, Chairman of
PhoneGuard. "The recently introduced PhoneGuard application suite
helps consumers combat distracted driving, providing a host of
useful safety features."
Also included in the PhoneGuard product suite are: GeoFencing, which allows the phone's administrator to
select geographic boundaries and receive a text message if the
phone strays outside of the boundaries; Speed
Control, which enables the phone's administrator to receive
text message alerts showing the location and speed of the user's
mobile phone; Permission Request that allows
users to request permission from the administrator to have
functionality of the mobile phone; Admin
Override, which enables the administrator to type in a set
password to override PhoneGuard's system settings; Custom Timeout function, permitting the administrator
to set timeout periods on the phone and customize Timeout messages;
Custom Auto-Reply, which allows an
administrator to set up customized responses that will
automatically be sent to those who send text messages to the user
while the phone is in motion, Real Time
Tracking/Locator, which uses GPS to locate a missing phone in
real time and retrieve data and also provides connectivity,
allowing users to connect with each other based on their GPS
locations; and Family View, which provides
the ability to view the location of all family and friends on a map
with individual icons.
"Partnering with PhoneGuard is an excellent fit for our
corporation and our franchisees, as the world of applications
continues to expand rapidly," commented Taki Skouras, Chief
Executive Officer of Cellairis. "This joint distribution
arrangement allows for increased exposure for our products, as well
as for our franchisees to market a smart phone application that can
positively impact the safety, security and productivity of our
customers."
"This is an exciting agreement for PhoneGuard for many reasons,"
Mr. St. Clair continued. "Our target market demographics are very
similar, and the Cellairis distribution channel is growing very
rapidly. Additionally, Cellairis's franchisees and sales personnel
are very knowledgeable in the latest trends and are well known for
their consultative sales practices, making them a perfect fit for
our new product suite. We welcome Cellairis to the PhoneGuard
family."
Under the terms of the agreement, the two companies will offer a
specialized version of the PhoneGuard product suite targeted at
teens for $4.99 for one year of usage and new version for families
at $19.99, which will also includes a free three-month membership
to the Justin Bieber fan club. A portion of sales will be donated
to the Remember Alex Brown Foundation. Cellairis will offer this
new product via its website and in many of its conveniently
located, cutting-edge store locations throughout North America.
Cellairis's cellular accessory products will be offered via all of
PhoneGuard's distribution channels, including its website.
"The opportunity to provide consumers with a tool that will
safeguard their children and family and friends from distracted
driving is invaluable," said Joe Ciardullo, CMO of Cellairis. "We
want to help protect what is important to families."
