Eckoh Technologies plc ('Eckoh'), one of Europe's leading speech application
service providers, today announces the disposal of Freecom.net Limited
('Freecom'), its internet services company, to eDirectory.co.uk plc. The initial

eDirectory shares are currently traded on Ofex.



eDirectory.co.uk plc, is an independent aggregator and distributor of online

"The sale of Freecom to e-Directory represents the first step in our strategic
plan to simplify the Eckoh's structure, dispose of non-core assets and unlock
value for our shareholders.  The Board has been considering a number of options
for Freecom for some time, and we believe this transaction to be in the best
interests of the Freecom business, its management team and Eckoh shareholders."
