The first version of the application, Callbyname-Lite, is now available on Android phones.
Digitrad CEO and founder, Micha Benoliel, who first presented a prototype of the application during the
DEMOfall Conference in San-Diego last september 2009 likes to say “The best technology is the one you
don’t see and CallbyName has been designed considering user experience which is very valuable for a
mobile application”.

based on mobile ads and paying subscriptions to unlock local calling anywhere in the world.

able to leave a voicemail or a voice-to-text message anytime you wish to reach your contacts.
“CallbyName solves two problems I have. I can’t remember anyone’s phone number and there are too many
ways people can connect with me,” said Chris Shipley, Executive Producer of the DEMO Conferences. “With
CallbyName I have a single, easy to remember way for people to connect with me. What makes this great
is that CallbyName finds me, whether I am in a social network, surfing the net or on my mobile phone, and
connects with me in the way that makes the most sense for me. Simply type my name in CallbyName’s
search bar and it will find me.”
