Tecnomen Corporation                      PRESS RELEASE                         
                                          18 November 2008 at 12.30 pm          


TECNOMEN DEMONSTRATES VISUAL VOICEMAIL AT AFRICACOM                             

For AfricaCom 2008, Tecnomen showcases Visual Voicemail, the latest addition to 
the Tecnomen Messaging portfolio in Cape Town during 18 - 19 November. This new 
service concept is leveraging the potential in voicemail and bringing the       
voicemail user experience to a whole new level, thus helping operators to ensure
maximum revenue potential.                                                      

Visual Voicemail Gateway, a modular extension to the Tecnomen Next Generation   
Messaging platform, provides end-users with visual interactivity for voice mail 
messages. In contrast to the traditional voicemail message retrieval method of  
calling in to a voicemail service number, visual voicemail users receive        
messages as they are automatically downloaded to their handsets. In addition,   
intuitive user interfaces and high functionality give end-users the ability to  
easily change settings as well as personalise their voicemail accounts and      
greetings.
