that include SIM-Cards and Airtime.
Furthermore, the company will provide a variety of
Service Options, based on its carrier grade Mobile Virtual Network Enabling

It is expected that the contract will bring $30-40
million in revenue to Elephant Talk over the initial 2-year contract period.
The revenues generated from this contract will provide substantial margins for
Elephant Talk.

130,000 mobile users in future.
“The size and scope of this contract materially
impacts our financial results over the next two years. We are very pleased with
