Press Release Body = Hoorn NH, The Netherlands - October 25, 2006

By signing up the 2 major operators, Claro and Movistar, the full potential of the
Peruvian mobile messaging and data market, including premium SMS and WAP services,
has come within reach of Mobile Bridges.

At present, the premium SMS-market in Peru is definitively pre-mature. For instance:
premium SMS solutions are not widely offered. However, the number of 6,5 million
mobile phone subscribers is rapidly growing and the Peruvian market is very
provider-friendly, featuring uniform tariffs and cross-network premium rate numbers
can rather easily be obtained.

Mobile Bridges was the preferred party for both mobile operators because of proven
capabilities, its extensive product range, the capacity of handling very large
volumes of SMS messages and its local presence in Lima.

"Peru offers huge mobile opportunities waiting to be disclosed by an international
service provider like Mobile Bridges. Our company will add quality, reliability and
maturity", Managing Director Mobile Bridges Peru SAC, Aquiles Chulluncuy says.
"Currently the Peruvian market is being served by small local companies only. Mobile
Bridges, with its state-of-the-art-technology, its strong marketing approach and
financial stability, is ideally positioned to implement internationally proven
solutions and mobile business models. The excellent response of the market to the
initial SMS projects in Peru has enhanced our relationship with the local operators,
the scenario couldn't be better now."

Mobile Bridges' prime position is further enhanced by the opening of an office in
Lima, Peru in January this year. The Lima office now teams 10 specialists already
and is rapidly expanding.

"Lima is centrally located in Latin America and acts as our hub to other markets in
the region. Plans are finalized for opening new Mobile Bridges' strongholds in
Brazil and Argentine also", says Alexander Reus, co-founder and CEO of Mobile
Bridges International.
