About iVoice, Inc.
iVoice has determined that the best way to create shareholder value, separate and apart from the operating performance of iVoice, is to implement new business opportunities by distributing shares of spin-offs to the Company's shareholders. The common stock distributions are part of a broader strategy relating to the transition of iVoice into a company focused on the development and licensing of proprietary technologies. We also continue to search for potential merger candidates with or without compatible technology and products, which management feels may offer long term growth prospects to increase shareholder value.

The stock will/should go up in value by 200 times. If it will retain that value is the question. With the addition of a dividend and buyback we should be in good shape. I'm in this for the long run. Ivoc has been good in the past and I expect it to be that in the future.

This RS is part of a planned change. Ivoice gave plenty of notice of the RS so those who wanted to could sell out. Most RS's are a surprise and usually mean the company is in trouble. This is NOT the case here. For every 200 shares you have you will have one new share worth 200 times the value of the old share.

The way I read this is they raised the authorized shares to 10 billion and then the RS takes the AS to 50 million. Apply the 1.5 million dividend and you get .03 a share. The 1 million dollar buy back at .20 would take 5 million shares (10%) off the table and that might raise the value too. If the pps falls before the buyback, that many more shares would be shelved.

I have never gained from a R/S what usually happens this that once the shares have been settled there is a sell off and now you have fewer shares at the same price before the R/S which means you lose. There is a reason why they are doing a R/S. Usually the company isn't doing as well as they say, they were duliting there shares for the last few years etc... I hope you experience this doesn't happen but experience tells me... OUCH!

Do we know if they have bought back the shares yet?
I would think that would improve their pps. At this point I'm in it long now as well. Since I don't have that much in this stock to begin with I just plan to ride it out and see what happens. What's a few hundred bucks for a little education. Who knows maybe they'll release some good news regarding their deals in China and the thing will fly.

This stock does not gyrate up and down like most pennies. It's one of the few I feel is worth 'investing' and then wait for it to go....or get some free shares from spin-offs.
Most traders here are just looking to get rich. They expect to go into a stock and then sell a few hours/days later for a big gain. That happens ...but not very often.
I am not pumping this stock. Do your DD and make your own mind up.

Looks like they're changing their collective mind about the stock buy back. I have a bad feeling that will caust the pps to fall significantly.

iVoice Announces Results of Proxy Vote, Update To Shareholders; May Use Cash on Hand for Acquisitions and Not for a Contemplated Stock Buyback of Any Class of Company Stock
MATAWAN, N.J., Apr 28, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- iVoice, Inc. (IVOI, Trade), announced today the results of its recent proxy solicitation. The shareholders of iVoice approved all the proposals submitted with overwhelming support at the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders that was held on March 31, 2006.
On April 27, 2006, the Company implemented the 1 for 200 reverse stock split of the Company's Class A Common Stock that was approved by shareholders at the recent Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The new trading symbol of iVoice, Inc. is: "IVOI."
While the shareholders of iVoice also approved all the additional proposals, with a large voting majority, all remaining proposals that were passed by shareholders are subject to the discretionary authority of the Board of Directors. The Board is continuing to carefully review these proposals, but has not decided at this time whether to implement any of these other proposals passed by shareholders. The Board has 90 days to decide which, if any, of the proposals are to be implemented.
With over $10 million of cash on its balance sheet and the availability of additional financing at hand, the Company is looking to implement a roll-up strategy by acquiring the best and brightest companies and bringing them together under the umbrella of a single organization. Our principal interest is in companies with proprietary intellectual property serving a significant market segment, or an entity which otherwise has a defensible market position in its space. Therefore, the Board of Directors may decide to use the cash on hand for acquisitions and not for a contemplated stock buyback of any class of Company stock, although no firm decision has been made at this time.
The Board of Directors will keep the shareholders apprised of any decisions in the future.
