 Intec wins $15 million Singl.eView billing contract with MTN, Africa's leading
                               wireless operator



  • New billing system will support over 7.7 million pre and post-paid
    subscribers in South Africa



28 February 2005, London: Intec Telecom Systems, a leading OSS software vendor
for fixed, mobile and next-generation networks, has signed a contract worth
around $15 million with South Africa-based MTN, for a new customer billing
system using Intec's Singl.eView software. The new system will handle billing
for MTN's South Africa operation, which has over 7.7 million pre and post-paid
subscribers.



"Winning a prestigious, tier one wireless operator like MTN in a very
competitive market is great news for Intec, because it underlines our status as
a major player in the OSS/BSS market globally," said Intec CEO Kevin Adams. "
Singl.eView's next-generation technology is a strong fit for a fast-growing
major operator in a developing market, because it allows it to bring new
services quickly to market, and its performance and scalability fits well with
growth plans and cost-effective operations."



"I'm personally delighted that our first major new Singl.eView customer is MTN,"
added Intec's South Africa born Executive Chairman, Mike Frayne. "Intec has
always been successful in Africa, but this is a high profile win that confirms
Singl.eView as the right solution for the billing upgrade, legacy replacement
and consolidation projects that many operators worldwide are now beginning."



"This is a key project for MTN that will support our very high growth rates,
provide a superior customer billing experience, and reduce our cost of
technology ownership," said MTN SA's Billing Programme Director, Megan Ashman. "
We chose Singl.eView as our new strategic billing platform for its outstanding
technology and as a result of Intec's long-term presence, commitment and
investment in Africa."



MTN and Intec have started work immediately on the implementation of
Singl.eView, with Intec providing support and services through its substantial
South Africa office. Intec currently employs over 120 people in Africa,
developing new products and supporting many of Africa's best-known fixed and
wireless carriers.
