                         ('Sarantel' or the 'Company')


                    Placing to raise approximately £400,000


Sarantel announces that it has conditionally raised approximately £400,000,
before expenses, from a placing of 13,333,400 A Ordinary Shares of 1 pence each
in the capital of the Company ('A Ordinary Shares') at 3p per share (the 
'Placing Shares') with an institutional investor (the 'Placing'). The Placing is
conditional on, amongst other things, the passing of certain resolutions at the
general meeting of the Company and on admission of the new A Ordinary Shares to
trading on AIM.


The net proceeds of the Placing, amounting to approximately £380,000, will
augment the proceeds of the recently announced placing.


Following the proposed Placing, the Company will have 190,936,331 ordinary
voting shares in issue. It is intended that application will be made for the A
Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Dealings in these shares are
expected to be on 28 April 2008.
