HELSINKI, April 28 /PRNewswire/ --

- New Policy Control Based Solution Helps Service Providers Increase
Customer Satisfaction and Comply With New Legislation

Comptel Corporation (OMX Helsinki: CTL1V), the leading vendor of dynamic
Operations Support System (OSS) software, today announced the availability of
Comptel Roaming Cost Control to allow Communication Service Providers (CSPs)
worldwide to give their subscribers control over their spending, especially
when roaming. It also enables European CSPs to comply with the new amendment
to EU regulation No 717/2007 brought in on 22 April 2009, which dictates that
there should be a cut-off limit for data roaming services. Comptel Roaming
Cost Control is clearly particularly relevant to new mobile broadband
services, which can be comparatively expensive for subscribers, but is also
applicable to all mobile services, including voice and texts.

Communication Service Providers want to avoid subscribers being faced
with unexpectedly high charges - so called "bill-shock" - when travelling
abroad. High roaming charges could put customers off using services,
especially those all-important mobile broadband services on which many CSPs
are betting their future. High charges may also result in bad publicity for
the operator. In some regions, such as the European Union, legislation is
actually coming into force compelling operators to inform subscribers of
their on-going costs.

Comptel Roaming Cost Control monitors the balance of specific subscribers
in real-time, and can trigger actions when certain limits are reached, e.g.
sending notifications or suspending the service. The solution allows
operators to comply with legislative demands, to keep their subscribers
satisfied, to encourage roaming usage and to reduce bill disputes and
non-payment.

Comptel Roaming Cost Control is the first of a number of Comptel
solutions built around Comptel Policy Control - a solution which complies
with the 3GPP industry standard. This, and other solutions soon to be
announced, are supplemented by Comptel's proven charging and provisioning
functionality.

Mr Simo Saaskilahti, Comptel's Executive Senior Vice President Products
and Solutions concludes: "Comptel is proud to be helping mobile service
providers offer a better service to their customers, and indeed comply to
legislation in some cases. With Comptel Roaming Cost Control, service
providers can turn what might be seen as a restriction on their business,
into a positive investment - a real 'value for money' proposition typical of
the Comptel Dynamic OSS."

Comptel will be exhibiting at TM Forum Management World 2009 6 - 8 May
2009, in Nice, France (stand: 88).
