BOCA RATON, FL--(Marketwire - 05/17/11) - Options Media Group Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: OPMG) (Pinksheets:OPMG - News), which recently announced it is changing its name to PhoneGuard, Inc., today announced a restructuring of its business so it could focus on the fast growing multi-billion dollar mobile applications market. Scott Frohman, CEO, "As disclosed in our Form 10-K, we have realigned our business and written-off certain assets in order to concentrate on the mobile and smart phone applications market. All of us at PhoneGuard and most others in the industry believe the huge growth seen in the apps market over the past few years is just the beginning of this upswing. The DriveSafe Software Suite is our flagship product line and we plan to pack this product full of all the features and functions smart phone users demand. As we announced yesterday, we will hold a conference call next week to discuss the features and functions of this new product suite and to discuss our recent agreement with Justin Bieber to promote DriveSafe and combat texting while driving." PhoneGuard's revolutionary Drive Safe™ anti-texting while driving software application suite disables the texting, emailing and keyboard functions of a mobile phone when a vehicle is in motion. By using GPS to track speed and coordinates, the Don't Text Don't Drive Mobile Application automatically turns off certain functionalities of the driver's mobile phone when the phone is in a moving vehicle. Thus, the user will no longer be able to text, email, surf the web or instant message while driving. When the car is stopped for more than 5 seconds, however, the phone will automatically allow texting and other data functions to resume. Any missed text messages will be waiting for the user. Once the user starts driving again, the software will automatically block these activities again. |

BOCA RATON, FL--(Marketwire -08/23/11)- PhoneGuard, Inc., a subsidiary of Options Media Group Holdings, Inc. (Pinksheets: OPMG.PK - News) (OTCQB: OPMG.PK - News), a leading provider of mobile applications software, begins unveiling its long-term strategic plan for marketing its Drive Safe™ and responsible texting product line in conjunction with a host of new applications that will be available within the product suite. The Company plans to make use of Premium Mobile Billing beginning in early October in order to allow its customers the convenience of paying for PhoneGuard Pro for one low monthly rate billed directly to the customer's mobile phone bill. Beginning in September, PhoneGuard plans an aggressive rollout and promotion of its new PhoneGuard Pro product in conjunction with singer/songwriter Justin Bieber. The very successful sign up program and drawing for a signed Justin Bieber tour jacket will close on September 15th with the lucky winner being announced on September 30. Over the coming months additional promotions will include text messages to PhoneGuard users from Justin and a grand prize of a trip aboard a private jet to attend one of Justin's U.S. concert performances. Justin Bieber commented, "This is a cause that's really important to me, and I know affects a lot of my fans. That's why I decided to work with PhoneGuard, because we share the same vision and goal. It's simple: text responsibly." Justin and PhoneGuard recently announced the launch of a campaign dedicated to encouraging responsible texting, through the use of PhoneGuard's acclaimed Drive Safe™ software application, which disables the texting, emailing and keyboard functions of a mobile phone while in a vehicle moving faster than 10 miles per hour. Justin and PhoneGuard (www.PhoneGuard.com) are working closely with the Remember Alex Brown Foundation, organized by the family of teenager Alex Brown who tragically lost her life because of texting and driving. The new PhoneGuard Pro products suite will include a host of safety and convenience-oriented applications that will significantly enhance the user's smart phone experience including: 1) GeoFencing, which will allow the phone's administrator to select geographic boundaries and receive a text message if the phone strays outside of the boundaries, 2) Panic Button, which is a preselected and programmed emergency call function that is activated by the user simply hitting one key, 3) Speed Control enables the phone's administrator to receive text message alerts showing the location and speed of the user's mobile phone, 4) Locator, which allows easy GPS tracking of a lost or misplace handset, and 5) Auto-Reply, which allows users to set up customized responses that will automatically be sent to those who send text messages to the user while the phone is in motion. The new PhoneGuard Pro will also contain a set of robust administrative tools, such as Administrator Override that lets the administrator allow full use of the mobile phone at all times and Request Permission, which allows a family member or employee to request permission from the administrator to use the mobile phone even while it is in motion. Mr. Keith St. Clair, Chairman of PhoneGuard, commented, "We believe we have designed PhoneGuard to be a unique and highly functional product offering. We wanted to make the product offering accessible to the youth market so we have decided to begin offering a Premium Mobile Billing option in early October. In order to download PhoneGuard Pro to a phone the customer will simply send a text message to our short code number and download the product suite. Then each month the customer will receive a small charge on their cellular bill. With Premium Mobile Billing there are no credit cards needed and the customer is always in control." Mr. St. Clair continued, "We believe the new PhoneGuard Pro product suite will have a big impact in the marketplace and will not only save lives due to limiting distracted driving, but it will also meaningfully enhance the smart phone user experience for our customers. For example, we are especially excited about the advanced functionality we have integrated into our Panic Button feature that will allow the user to not only dial any preprogram emergency number, but to also automatically send a Google maps location fix directly to the phone's administrator. This unique feature will offer unparalleled safety, security, and peace of mind for users of PhoneGuard Pro and we believe will be especially popular with parents." Available for BlackBerry and Android smart phones, with iPhone development now complete and a review from Apple, Inc. pending, the Drive Safe application enables global positioning satellite (GPS) tracking to calculate the speed of travel while a vehicle is in motion. Once vehicle speed reaches 10 miles per hour, the Drive Safe application locks the phone's keyboard, preventing the user from emailing, surfing the web or texting while driving. Other Drive Safe™ features include an Auto-Reply button, a pre-set response that is automatically delivered to the texter or caller and reads I am driving and will contact you when I reach my destination; a Request Permission button that allows users to request permission from the administrator to have functionality of the mobile phone; and an Admin Override button, allowing the administrator to type in a set password to override PhoneGuard's System Settings so that specific mobile functions can be utilized. For example, if a child is riding the bus, Drive Safe will know he or she is in a moving vehicle and will disable the phone. The child will then hit Request Permission, which sends a text message to the administrator. The administrator can then text "yes" back to the disabled phone, unlocking the phone for 15 minutes. After this time limit, the keyboard will be disabled again. PhoneGuard and Justin Bieber developed Drive Safe™ as a simpler and free version of a larger application suite. Their hope is to make Drive Safe™ accessible to as many drivers as possible. For more information regarding PhoneGuard's Drive Safe™ responsible texting application, as well as Justin Bieber's joint campaign, visit www.PhoneGuard.com or www.facebook.com/PhoneGuard or on Twitter at @Phone_Guard. About Options Media Holding Group, Inc. PhoneGuard, Inc., a subsidiary of Options Media Group Holdings, Inc., is a leading provider of mobile applications software.

The PhoneGuard's Drive Safe™Pro will also contain a set of robust administrative tools, such as Admin Override that lets the administrator allow full use of the mobile phone at all times and Request Permission, which allows a family member or employee to request permission from the administrator to use the mobile phone even while it is in motion. PhoneGuard, Inc. hope to make Drive Safe™ accessible to as many drivers as possible.
