DIALOGUE COMMUNICATIONS: Dialogue delivers email to mobile phone -- a world first AUG 20, 1999, M2 Communications - SHEFFIELD, UK -- Dialogue Communications today announced the world's first successful transmission of an email to a WAP (Wireless Access Protocols) enabled mobile phone. This breakthrough extends the functionality of the mobile handset, which is set to become a core component of the wireless internet. The Dialogue solution enables users to view, reply and delete emails directly from the mobile handset. All actions can be stored in a mailbox for review at a later stage from a normal desktop PC. "Nokia are delighted to see leading developers like Dialogue building solutions for the new WAP technology", said Nokia Mobile Phones wireless data manager Matt Chatterley. "Their software will make everyday communications like email even easier for our Nokia 7110 WAP phone users and we expect it will be available to a wide audience."

WAP-based technology is used in the design of advanced, interactive and real-time mobile services such as on-line news. For more information about WAP, please see www.wapforum.org.
