    /24-7PressRelease/ - March 16, 2006 - InPhonic, Inc., a leading online seller of wireless services and products, today announced the launch of Wirefly.biz, a new business unit dedicated to the unique needs of small business customers. As part of the launch of this new business group, InPhonic also named John Hannula as Vice President and General Manager for Small Business.

In the United States today, there are more than 54 million employees spread throughout an estimated 6 million businesses within the "Small Office/Home Office" (SOHO, 1-4 employees) and "Small-to-Medium Business" (SMB, 5-99 employees) categories.

Two out of three small business employees are considered "mobile" and for them, wireless service is critical to the success of the business. According to industry surveys, record numbers of small business owners are now researching and buying their wireless products and services online and over the phone.

With the site http://www.wirefly.biz, InPhonic extends the Wirefly brand to the small business marketplace marrying its award-winning online capabilities and expertise with a dedicated team of account managers to assist small business customers with a robust suite of services, discounts and customer support typically afforded only to larger enterprise companies.

We believe we can deliver this small business program with our online strategies as a win-win approach with our carrier partners as we strive to drive incremental sales and create higher revenue accounts with a high-touch, yet scalable program," said David A. Steinberg, InPhonic's Chairman and CEO. "John Hannula brings a great deal of wireless industry experience to InPhonic and his addition further bolsters InPhonic's push into this key market segment."

With nearly a decade in the wireless industry, Hannula most recently served as director of marketing for Nextel Communications, Inc., now known as Sprint/Nextel, where he was responsible for developing and implementing innovative sales strategies for small and mid-market business customers, including channel development and communications for both subscriber growth and customer loyalty. Prior to Nextel, Hannula held a variety of marketing leadership roles at eSpire Communications and MCI Corporation.
