Muscat, February 15, 2006

Oman Mobile, the largest mobile operator in the Sultanate of Oman, got off to a roaring start with the launch of ACL's IM & Community Solution on its network this Monday. The robust, state-of-the-art, instant messaging based service registered over 600,000 mobile transactions on the first two days itself, besides clocking over 8,000 user registrations.

Launched under the brand name 'OM Chat', the service connects the entire subscriber base of Oman Mobile, which recently raced pass the 1 million mark. With this deployment Oman Mobile has joined the select group of telecom operators in Middle East who have already deployed ACL's IM & Community solution, and thus gained leverage to drive customer loyalty and fuel incremental revenues.

Reflecting ACL's global expertise in the IM & Community space, the current solution successfully addresses the fundamental need of mobile consumers to connect with like-minded people and to communicate with them in real time using a more cost effective, interactive and expressive medium.

Packed with popular features such as people search, chat-rooms and interoperability with PC-based instant messengers, amongst others, the service is available via the SMS short code 90222 to all users on the Oman Mobile network.

Talking about the successful launch Sanjay Goyal, CEO, ACL Wireless, said, "The success of our IM & Community solution on Oman Mobile reinforces, once again, the company's vision of building a successful community building service for operators, which works across geographies. ACL has already demonstrated similar success on leading mobile networks across multiple networks in Middle East as well as Brazil, China, Thailand and India."

"Based on our experience and expertise from various successful deployments in 18 countries around the world, we have been able to provide SMS users on Oman Mobile, a unique instant messaging & social networking experience. The same is being reflected in the form of tremendous user confidence and a very high adoption rate."
