Singapore, CommunicAsia (Booth 3E1-14), 14.06.2005 - Mobile 365, the global leader in the delivery and settlement of mobile messaging and data services, continues to demonstrate its leadership position via its selection by six leading Asian operators in the first six months of 2005.

The six mobile operators include Paktel GSM, with over two million subscribers and coverage in over 150 cities and towns across Pakistan; Nepal Telecom; Viettel, Vietnam's third largest mobile operator with a growing subscriber base of 400,000; DTAC, with more than seven million subscribers in Thailand; MDC Telecom, covering more than 20 provinces in China; and Lao Telecom, a 51-49 joint venture between Lao Government and Shin Satellite from Thailand.

"Asia continues to be a major market for Mobile 365, and these agreements prove we remain the first choice for Asian operators seeking both global and cross-technology messaging connectivity," said Paul Ruppert, Mobile 365 Vice President for Operator Sales in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa (EMEAA). "Asian mobile subscribers continue to be the leading message texters in the world, and these six operator agreements ensure their global leadership in offering customers the best, direct-connect reach-possible only through Mobile 365's industry-leading network."

These agreements contribute to Mobile 365's unrivaled global footprint of direct connections with operators via an IP and C7 network reaching more than 500 mobile operators around the world. Subscribers of the six mobile operators are now able to send and receive text messages from most corners of the world, thus opening up a vast potential SMS revenue stream for the Asian operators and users of their SMS services.

In the global competitive telecommunication landscape, operators seek a single point of contact through which to provide solutions for increasing revenue streams and reducing churn. With Mobile 365, operators can avoid the complexities of global SMS and MMS interoperability management without the burden of managing the ever-growing inter-connectivity and operational costs associated with hundreds of operator agreements.
