SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Launching today,聽Sidecar (www.sidecar.me) is a new mobile app that brings Smart Calling to smartphones. Smart Calling allows people to share live See What I See video, brilliant photos, contact information, and locations, all while they talk. The Sidecar app is free to use and download from Apple鈥檚 App Store (http://itunes.com/apps/sidecarme) or Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.sidecar&hl=en).

鈥淥ver 800 million people around the world have smartphones; the time is right to re-imagine what a phone call can be. That鈥檚 the mission of Sidecar.鈥�

• Locations: Sidecar lets users look at an interactive map, see where they are in relation to the person they鈥檙e calling, and share locations to meet up.
• Contact Information: Sidecar lets users pass along and integrate contacts from their phone鈥檚 address book.
• Whisper Text: Send a private text message to another Sidecar user during a call, and keep the conversation going when it鈥檚 hard to talk.

And, the price is unbeatable:

• Sidecar users can call anywhere in the world for free:聽As long as both parties are using the Sidecar app, users can talk as long as they like for free.
• Sidecar users can call anyone in the U.S. or Canada for free over Wi-Fi:聽The person you鈥檙e calling doesn鈥檛 need to have the app. When you call, they鈥檒l receive a text message telling them how to download Sidecar so next time you can use Sidecar鈥檚 exclusive Smart Calling features.

鈥淭here has been tremendous innovation in smartphones in every area except the basic phone call,鈥� said Rob Glaser, chairman and co-founder of Sidecar. 鈥淥ver 800 million people around the world have smartphones; the time is right to re-imagine what a phone call can be.
