Oxygen8 Targets Growth in the Americas

Gary Corbett Becomes Regional Director for Oxygen8's Americas Business, With Offices Opening in Mexico, Chile and Argentina in the Next Three Months-

BIRMINGHAM, England, March 24, 2011 - Oxygen8 Communications (www.oxygen8.com), the international
mobile, voice and billing specialist, today announces that Gary Corbett has
been appointed Regional Director for its Americas business, as the company
targets significant growth in this territory.

Oxygen8 is planning to open offices in Mexico, Chile and Argentina in the
next three months, with a further three countries planned before the end of
the year. Oxygen8 also believes that the US and Canada represents a
significant growth market, and the company has recently appointed Anne-Marie
Fahrenkrug-Ortiz as CEO for US and Canada to drive expansion in this
territory.

To date, the US market has been held back by regulations and restrictions
around Premium SMS billing, with subscription billings limited to $9.99 and
M-Commerce limited to content consumed on the handset. Now the market has
changed and Oxygen8 is able to offer Direct Billing on Verizon and AT&T, with
Sprint and T-Mobile to follow shortly. Web-based billing allows up to $50 per
transaction or up to $50 per month on subscription to be charged for
non-handset services. Whilst applications are still highly controlled and
approval is on a merchant by merchant basis, this means there is now great
potential for companies to expand their online business activities in the US.
For others, mobile is now a viable alternative to lower value purchases on a
credit card.

Gary Corbett, Oxygen8's Regional Director for the Americas, says, "We
will be focusing heavily on the Americas markets this year and we have
ambitious plans for growth throughout the region. Oxygen8 is ideally
positioned to help media companies and corporates to exploit the potential of
mobile and voice services in the Americas. Our global customers are able to
take advantage of our technology, depth of resource and international reach,
which provides them with a complete one-stop-shop service meaning they can
enter new markets quickly, broadening their global presence and creating new
revenue streams."

Shane Leahy, Group CEO of Oxygen8 Communications, says, "Whether you are
a brand, billing company or an aggregator, there are fantastic opportunities
for growth in the Americas. Working with Oxygen8, companies have peace of
mind that they are working with industry experts that have on-the-ground
knowledge of local market regulations, combined with a proven infrastructure
and technical expertise which means that they can be live with new products
and services in days rather than months."
