  Strategic investments by Netcall and Trinity Mirror plc ('Trinity Mirror')

                          in All4U Limited ('All4U')

Netcall is pleased to announce today that it has exercised its call option to
acquire 100,000 A ordinary shares of £1 each, approximately 13 per cent. of
the enlarged issued ordinary share capital of All4U. Consideration is to be
satisfied by the issue of 400,000 new ordinary shares of 5p each in Netcall.
Application has been made for the admission to AIM of these shares.

Netcall's strategic investment is being made simultaneously with Trinity
Mirror subscribing for 249,000 A ordinary shares of £1 each representing 26
per cent. of the share capital as enlarged and 362,756 convertible redeemable
preference shares of £1 each.

The exercise of this option by Netcall follows the highly successful trialing
of All4U's innovative interactive pay-per-lead advertising service and the
conclusion of exclusivity and service agreements between Netcall and All4U.

The All4U service makes use of the intelligent telephony provided by the
NetCall ClassifiedTM solution, by routing and tracking calls between
responders to classified advertisements and the agencies placing those
advertisements. It is thus able to provide feedback both on the callers
themselves and on response volumes and times. As a result of this, Netcall
itself has seen considerable growth in usage of its NetCall ClassifiedTM
solution.

Jonathan Patoff, Managing Director of All4U, said:

'I am delighted by this significant vote of confidence in All4U from our
long-term partners at Netcall and from our new partners at Trinity Mirror.
Together, we have an unbeatable combination of a tested new business model,
proven new technology and terrific market positioning. All4U is going to
create a 'Classified Revolution' in the UK!'

Stephen Parker, Managing Director of Trinity Mirror Regional Newspapers, said:

'Trinity Mirror has successfully trialed the All4U service in 14 of its
regional newspapers. We are very impressed with the results and believe this
pay-per-lead model represents a powerful new addition to newspaper and website
classified advertising in the UK.'

Jeffrey Rubins, Chairman of Netcall, added:

'I am pleased that Netcall's intelligent telephony is the basis for a
successful pay-per-lead classified advertising business model. Those media and
content owners that have used NetCall ClassifiedTM have been amazed by its
power and we believe there is significant growth potential. Netcall intends to
capitalise on this market opportunity, both through our direct investment in
All4U and through the increased use of our NetCall ClassifiedTM solution.'
