Press Release Summary: SIMtone Allows Network Operators to Deliver a Wide Array of
Virtual Services to Enterprises, SMBs and Consumers


Press Release Body: Switzerland (June 24, 2008) - SIMtone Corporation today
announced the launch of SIMtone International, the company's newly established
International headquarters in Switzerland. Addressing the growing market demand for
"carrier-grade" virtual services, SIMtone International is already working with many
leading International Telecom and Cable Service Providers to deliver all types of
carrier-grade virtual computing services for the enterprise, SMB and consumer
markets.

"The widespread availability and accessibility of very high quality wireless and
wireline broadband services throughout Europe is now enabling Network Operators to
commercially deliver a broad range of value-added services such as virtual PCs,"
explained Mario Dal Canto, SIMtone Corporation's Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer. "SIMtone makes virtualization simple, and enables carriers to
develop, deploy and deliver new services inexpensively, securely and seamlessly to
any connected device on-demand and on-the-fly. We enable a game-changing
opportunity for Network Operators to decommoditize their pipes, reduce churn,
optimize network utilization, lower costs and increase ARPU with services people
need rather than just want. SIMtone is the perfect complement to wireless and
wireline broadband connectivity services, and allows telecom, cable and wireless
operators to deliver converged mobile services simply and safely everywhere."

For example, with the SIMtone-powered virtual PC offerings, Network Operators can
expand growth initiatives, increase average revenue per user (ARPU) and reduce
customer churn, all while providing customers with a fully-functional
PC-as-a-service that is easily accessible from any device.

Earlier this year, SIMtone unveiled its virtualization platform and the first-ever
virtual cloud computer, the SIMtone Virtual PC, at Mobile World Congress in
Barcelona, Spain. The SIMtone Virtual PC is the first computer-in-the-cloud that
delivers a full laptop-like user experience, including high performance screen/sound
and full USB functionality, on any Internet connected device, on-demand and
on-the-fly. It is one of many carrier-grade services that can be supported by the
company's patented SIMtone service platform.

The telecom market in Europe is progressive and committed to delivering a range of
virtual services, such as Virtual PCs bundled with broadband Internet access.
According to IDC\'s Quarterly Server Tracker, virtualization was a driving force as
the EMEA server market reached $4.4 billion in revenues in 1Q08, up 4.8 percent over
1Q07.

SIMtone International already has more than 10 employees in Europe. The company has
a technology development center in Ireland and a representative office in Spain and
is in the process of establishing its European operation support center on the
shores of Lake Leman in Switzerland.
