  ITALK TO ACCELERATE GROWTH STRATEGY IN MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR SMARTPHONE SECTOR

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., April 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- iTalk Inc. (TALK) (TALK)
("iTalk" or the "Company") announced today that it has begun to move forward
with an accelerated growth strategy. The Company's premier commercial product,
the iTalk Sleeve, is positioned to revolutionize the smartphone sector by
creating a powerful low-cost alternative to currently available expensive
smartphones.

"We are very pleased to be about to enter a new phase of our business plan that
will see the Company move from product development and into product sales and
marketing," stated David F. Levy, Chief Executive Officer of iTalk Inc. "Our
innovative wireless products and services have been designed to enable every
cellular and wireless customer to reduce their hardware costs and lower their
monthly bill while maintaining the highest level of technology and service
quality. We look forward to launching our first commercial smartphone hardware
technology and Mobile Apps in the very near future."

iTalk's mission is to create a financially self-sustainable company through
organic growth and also through strategic acquisitions. iTalk intends to make
acquisitions that will accelerate growth by identifying and then acquiring
well-managed companies with strong subscriber bases and solid financials. These
strategic acquisitions should enable iTalk to grow rapidly, and allow it to
market its innovative products and services to a growing list of subscribers.
iTalk fully expects to market its products to the 200 million users that have
recently purchased iPods, iPads and iPhones.

The Company intends to focus on the marketing and sales of prepaid and postpaid
enhanced mobile broadband and telecommunications services to targeted groups of
retail subscribers; individual consumers, businesses, and government. The
Company also intends to use a variety of sales channels to attract new
subscribers of enhanced mobile broadband services and telecommunications,
including:

-    direct telesales through representatives whose efforts focus on marketing
     and selling to consumers, businesses, and government;

-    major distribution network partners, brick and mortar retail stores, local
     and national non-affiliated dealers, independent contractors, focusing on
     sales to the consumer market and businesses; and

-    Subscriber convenient channels, such as web sales, with a focus on
     commission based programs through affiliate marketing, email marketing, and
     strategic partnerships.

iTalk marketing efforts will also involve traditional print and television
advertising, as well as web-based strategies such as Search Engine Optimization
(SEO), Search Engine Marketing (SEM), Cost Per Mile (CPM) advertising, Pay Per
Click (PPC) advertising, paid placements, email marketing, and social media
advertising. The Company intends to expand and maintain top tier strategic
partnerships, reseller and affiliate relationships, public relations, and online
marketing efforts to promote our lines of business.

Mr. Levy concluded, "Our new iTalk Sleeve and its related mobile apps are set to
potentially change the way people use their iPhones, iPads, and iPods as
personal and businesses communication tools. I anticipate that further details
regarding the iTalk Sleeve launch plans will be released in the next few days."
