* Contract with regional T-Mobile network operator
AxisMobile PLC (AIM: AXIS), the hi-tech specialist in consumer mobile email,
today announces it has entered into a contract with one of T-Mobile's European
regional network operators to provide consumer mobile email services to its
customers.
AxisMobile was selected to provide consumer mobile email services following a
rigorous selection process, which saw it competing against some of the largest
mobile email providers in the industry. AxisMobile's consumer mobile email
solution has been developed specifically to fit easily with the network
operator's existing technology infrastructure, therefore minimising the lead
time to market. It offers a user-friendly interface, extensive attachment
support and supports over 300 different mobile devices.
Further details of this agreement will be disclosed as the service is rolled out
to subscribers.
Commenting on the contract, Shai Schiller, CEO of AxisMobile, said:
"We are delighted to have been selected by one of T-Mobile's regional network
operators and look forward to developing this relationship further to work with
the company in other territories.
"The consumer mobile email market is evolving quickly and we are receiving an
increasing number of enquiries about our technology. This new announcement
further demonstrates our ability to compete and win contracts with global
companies."

Notes to Editors:
About AxisMobile
* AxisMobile was founded during early 2000. It is a leader in the emerging
market of consumer mobile email which allows consumers to access email via
mobile telephone handsets.
* AxisMobile's objective is to provide software that drives the mass market
adoption of mobile email and related products by making multimedia
information portable, ubiquitous and easy to access on subscribers' existing
mobile handsets at an attractive cost. AxisMobile's email platform provides a
'one-stop-shop' for consumer mobile as it supports Web, WAP, IMAP4, MMS, SMS
and J2ME interfaces. Such interfaces cover most methods of transmitting mobile
data communications. AxisMobile's platform means that mobile operators no
longer need to integrate platforms from different vendors. This reduces costs.
AxisMobile aims to leverage customer relationships by offering additional
products and services based on its technology platform, hence producing
cross-sales and increasing the value to customers and to its shareholders.
* Consumer mobile email represents a huge growth opportunity for mobile
operators and vendors. The success of mobile communications has become a
worldwide phenomenon with approximately 1.7 billion subscribers globally. In
2005, Forrester research estimated that the number of Western European
consumer mobile email users will increase from 12.3 million in 2005 to 62.7
million by 2008. During the same period, revenues from consumer mobile mail
will grow from Euro120 million per year to Euro1.15 billion per year in Western
Europe alone. In the US, Forrester estimates that the number of consumer
mobile email users will increase from 12.1 million in 2005 to 38 million in
2008 and that revenues will soar from $13 million per year in 2005 to $406
million in 2008.
