REDWOOD CITY, Calif. & MADRID--(Business Wire)--
SEVEN®, the global leader in mobile email and messaging software, today
announced it is the email provider for `Mail Movistar` across Telefonica`s
entire customer base - including small office/home office (SOHO), small and
medium enterprise (SME), enterprise and, launching today, the consumer segment.
The partnership strategically places Telefonica and SEVEN at the heart of
Spain`s lucrative mobile email market. 

As a leader in mobile email, SEVEN provides Telefonica with an email solution
sophisticated enough for the enterprise segment yet simple and intuitive for the
average consumer. In addition, having one email solution across Telefonica`s
entire base generates new revenue as customers use the service for one purpose
and migrate to using email for another. The wireless operator has witnessed this
migration from business to consumer, and with the launch of consumer email in
its Residential segment today, even more of Telefonica`s customers will be able
to enjoy the benefits of mobile email no matter what they use it for. 

Telefonica and SEVEN enjoy a long-standing history of success. The two companies
launched the enterprise e-mail solution in May 2005, followed by an SME solution
in February 2006. Mobile email is included at no additional charge as part of
the consumer service that is launched today with introductory monthly rates as
low as 6, 10 and 15 Euros. The consumer email solution supports most commonly
used email services such as Microsoft Live Hotmail®, Gmail, Terra and
Telefonica`s own email account. 

"With SEVEN`s award-winning mobile email solution extended across its entire
customer base, Telefonica can focus its marketing efforts on promoting Mail
Movistar to anyone in Spain ready to benefit from mobile email," said Ross Bott,
CEO and President of SEVEN. 

SEVEN empowers mobile users to access the email services of their choice on the
device of their choice. SEVEN gives users convenient access to the most popular
corporate and personal email, calendar and contacts applications-via one
software interface. SEVEN is also compatible with all the major device platforms
including Symbian, Microsoft Windows Mobile®, Java, BREW®, Palm and Android. For
