                           ('Bango' or 'the Company')

                  STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH CINGULAR WIRELESS

Bango (AIM: BGO), a provider of technology and services that make it easy to
access and pay for content  - such as music, games, wallpapers, videos - through
mobile phones, announces today details of a partnership with Cingular Wireless.


Cingular Wireless is partnering with Bango to enable off-portal mobile internet
services. Cingular subscribers will be able to access the widest choice of
music, games and other mobile content currently available on any US mobile
operator's network.  In addition, the partnership enables thousands of content
providers to market and sell their services directly to users on this network.


Having tested the service through the partnership, Bango has now integrated its
technology with Cingular access and billing.  Now any one of Cingular's 51.6
million subscribers can benefit from single-click 'browse and buy' payment for
games, ringtones and other content promoted by content providers around the
world that use the Bango service.


'Cingular is pioneering the open mobile content model in the US,' said Anil
Malhotra, Vice President of Alliances at Bango.  'This agreement gives their
customers massively increased choice by enabling content providers to market
mobile services easily and directly to consumers.'
