Press Release Summary = With more countries on the continent of Africa progressing
dramatically in mobile technology, txtNation is well placed to take advantage of a
new hunger for mobile services in West Africa.

Press Release Body = Analysts know that West Africa is shaping up to become one of
the fastest growing mobile markets in the world. For too long now, West Africa has
suffered from a lack of infrastructure, but things are changing and mobile companies
are desperate to get a foothold. txtNation has had huge success, particularly in
Nigeria. With more countries in the region coming on board from 2007, txtNation is
well placed to take advantage of this new hunger for mobile technology in West
Africa.

txtNation is no stranger to the African market. They formed an important
relationship with Endemol in South Africa to supply SMS and telephone voting
technology for Nigeria's massive popular hit of the television franchise Big
Brother. The Nigerian Big Brother series demonstrates the passion for text messaging
in the country, garnering millions of votes. Soon, txtNation will reprise its role
there by empowering another worldwide franchise - the Nigerian version of the UK's
Pop Idol and the USA's American Idol.

Nigeria is the mobile powerhouse in West Africa, already slated as the largest
mobile market on the continent, but there are contenders elsewhere, whose
infrastructure is improving visibly year-on-year.

In Ghana, some analysts believe that mobile growth could overtake some western
countries. In line with txtNation's commitment to Africa, Ghanaian businesses are
able to fully utilise txtNation's billing, content and messaging solutions from next
year. Ghana and Nigeria join other African nations (such as South Africa, Egypt,
Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya) on the growing list of txtNation-enable countries.

It was not so long ago that much of Africa was without mobile infrastructure, but a
new dawn is promised. As mobile pioneers in Nigeria have shown, there is a great
need for more and better services. txtNation have been prominent in some parts of
the continent and is fully geared up for Africa's mobile revolution.
