eServGlobal Awarded NP Discovery Certification by the GSMA

PARIS, April 12, 2010--     eServGlobal Limited (LSE: ESG & ASX: ESV), a provider of
smarter transaction management solutions in Charging, Payment, Retention and
Network Services today reported that it was awarded certification by the GSMA
for meeting the technical requirements of the Pathfinder Program, the GSMA's
Carrier ENUM Service.

    Representing the interests of the worldwide communications
industry, the GSMA created Pathfinder, a global number translation service,
to allow operators, carriers and hubs more cost-efficient routing of
international calls, SMS and multi-media messages using a combination of TDM
and SIP networks. The GSMA also set up the Pathfinder Industry Partner
Program aimed at promoting interoperability of session-based communications
and technologies, including VoIP peering, SIP and ENUM, Messaging and
Presence Services as well as interconnection of fixed and mobile networks.

    A particular aspect of the Pathfinder service is the Number
Portability (NP) Discovery service which enables operators to identify the
correct destination Service Provider Network (SPN) for relevant traffic
corridors. Visibility regarding the destination SPN enables the inquiring
network to be more intelligent about route optimization, traffic bundling,
service delivery, quality of service, billing and reconciliation. This
enhanced destination knowledge further helps manage the voice traffic bundles
and termination rates in commercial agreements and reduces missed message
delivery.

    This fits in well with eServGlobal's own Local Number
Portability offering, which permits an operator to test each call for NP on a
real time basis. Checking national numbers is done using a copy of the local
NP database. Used in conjunction with the GSMA's PathFinder NP Discovery
Service, operators can check international destinations as well, to ensure
that they are correctly routed without incurring further costs.

    "The GSMA is pleased to welcome eServGlobal into the growing
GSMA Pathfinder Partner Program and is delighted to help service providers
manage number portability more cost effectively as a result," said Adrian
Dodd, Senior Director at the GSMA.

    "After significant testing, we're proud to announce that
eServGlobal has been named an accredited member of the Pathfinder Programme
by the GSMA" said Craig Halliday, Chief Operating Officer, eServGlobal. "We
look forward to assisting operators to increase their connection success rate
and make significant cost savings on their call routing."
