                    EMBARQ launches Text-to-Landline service



Messaging International Plc, the AIM traded provider of innovative messaging
services, has, through its 100% owned subsidiary, TeleMessage Ltd, signed an
agreement with USA based EMBARQ, to launch a Text-to-Landline service, which
enables EMBARQTM Wireless subscribers to send a text message from their wireless
phone to a landline phone.



The Text-to-Landline software converts the text to a voice message and plays it
to the recipient. The recipient can reply using their own voice. The reply is
sent back to the original sender's wireless phone as a text prompting the
retrieval of the voice reply.  Importantly, the service understands a dictionary
of shorthand text messages such as 'LOL' that can be translated into full
wording ('laugh out loud') for landline recipients.  EMBARQTM Wireless customers
who use the service will pay standard text message costs.



Messaging International CEO Guy Levit said, 'EMBARQ is in a great position to
take advantage of this application because it is in tune with both the wireless
and wireline phone markets.  It has millions of fixed line customers that can
now hear text messages and respond with ease.'



Senior Vice President of Wireless and Product Development at EMBARQ, Dennis
Huber, said, 'The new Text-to-Landline service is another way that EMBARQ is
integrating its portfolio of services.  As the line between the home phone and
wireless phone becomes blurred, and as convergence takes on new meaning, EMBARQ
wants to give customers simple, yet effective ways of communicating that fit
into their daily lives.



'With more than 158 billion text messages sent in 2006, 'LOL' and other acronyms
like it were sent in text messages 300,000 times per minute, according to the
Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association. That figure could increase
now that the EMBARQTM Text-to-Landline service allows its wireless customers to
send text messages to any landline phone across the United States.'
