venture brings us closer to fulfilling our ultimate goal of becoming the

redundant network, a fully integrated prepaid and postpaid mobile platform
servicing voice, SMS, MMS, data and videocalls. The Company has full control
over its entire network and mobile platform elements. GMSCs, HLRs, SMSC, MMSC,
IN, STP, GGSN, USSD, VoiceMail, and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) &

global market. The solution proposed by Elephant Talk Communication was chosen
by Vizzavi Espana after an extensive research and an in-depth selection
process which involved some of the most significant players in the MVNE arena.
