If you purchased shares of Inphonic between the announced Class Period
dates of August 2, 2006 and May 3, 2007, you are urged to contact Lewis
Kahn, Managing Partner, KGS, toll free 1-866-467-1400, ext. 100, via cell

Inphonic and certain of its officers and directors are charged with issuing
a series of materially false and misleading statements in violation of
Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5
promulgated thereunder, as it relates to fiscal year 2006 financial
results.
Shares of Inphonic fell from a Class Period high of $14.49 on February 8,
2007 to below $9.00 per share, after the Company admitted that it would be
forced to restate revenues for 2006. On April 3, 2007, Inphonic issued a
Form 8-K indicating that the Company's financial statements for the
quarterly periods ended June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2006 could
no longer be relied upon due to errors in the Company's revenue recognition
process. The result of this restatement caused an aggregate net loss of at
least $43 to $49 million for fiscal 2006, compared to the $17.3 million net
loss previously reported. The restatement also caused Inphonic to delay
regulatory filings.
The Complaint further alleges that certain officers and directors of the
Company were able to sell tens of millions of dollars of their personally
held Inphonic stock during the Class Period while in possession of material
adverse, non-public information.
SPECIAL NOTICE: Because Courts generally appoint only one firm to prosecute
a securities fraud action on behalf of the "lead plaintiffs," it is
critically important that interested parties carefully evaluate any other
firm that may be competing with KGS to prosecute the Inphonic class action.
Critical components of a law firm's ability to successfully prosecute this
action and obtain a strong recovery for you include its knowledge of
applicable federal securities laws, the resources it will dedicate to
prosecution of the case, including the number of lawyers the firm has
available for the Inphonic class action, AND especially the quality of the
firm's work. Interested shareholders are encouraged to call for
consultation and to request more information about KGS.
