FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) – CHICAGO June 12, 2007 - 1-800-In-A-City (462-2489), the first free nationwide phone travel service was announced today by The Micro Group Inc.

Through this one telephone number, a caller can make hotel reservations, get visitor information, hire a taxi, book a limo, rent a car, buy movie or event tickets, and get free 411 directory assistance services.

Callers can also connect to any airline, order pizza, find post offices, send flowers, talk to FedEx, get Amtrak tickets, or even easily connect to major travel providers such as Orbitz.

The concept behind 1-800-In-A-City arose out of the frustration faced by founder James Halk when he was traveling or away from his computer, having no convenient resources for information.

“If you’ve ever been in a city and need to get information or book services it can be frustrating,” said Mr. Halk. “When you are traveling you don’t always have online access and the screens on wireless gadgets are just too small.”

1-800-In-A-City was founded on the principle that acquiring information on the telephone should be easily accessible and free as it is on the Internet. This one number gives Americans an alternative to paying phone companies and wireless carriers outrageous amounts for enhanced directory assistance.

“I’m really excited about this service. I think they have created a practical solution to many of our daily needs and it’s free,” said Richard Johnson, Director of PR and Marketing at SplurgeNYC. “Think of all the times you could have used 1-800-In-A-City in the past, or even all the times you could have used it today. If you’re someone on the go, this is the only number you need to store in your cell.”
