Press Release Summary = London, 1 July 2005. - DAT Group plc (DAT), a leading
developer of mobile device management software, announces a multi-million dollar
deal with a leading U.S. mobile phone operator. Under the terms of the deal, DAT
will provide its DAT Mobility Platform (DMP) as an important component in the
operator's mobile device management strategy.

Press Release Body = The U.S. operator will utilise DMP-powered applications to
provide over-the-air device management of phone settings, firmware updates, content
and device diagnostics to millions of unique handsets.

Centralised mobile device management is a critical factor in enabling operators to
provision phone settings, firmware updates, content and device diagnostics on mobile
phones while lowering their support costs.

As a robust mobile device management solution, the DAT Mobility Platform today is a
complete solution that makes such provisioning both easier and more cost effective.

DAT Mobile Device Management Solutions help mobile operators add value and enhance
service levels for subscribers. Applications powered by DMP provide operators with
the tools needed to meet growing subscriber demands. In trials carried during 2005,
the mobile operator integrated DMP into its existing infrastructure and demonstrated
the reliability and flexibility of DMP as a carrier-grade service delivery platform.

David Hayes, CEO of DAT comments: "With this U.S.-based customer we believe we are
deploying the world's first authentic, in-network device management solution - apart
from simple SIM card management. DMP has proven it has the reliability and the
functionality to handle mobile device management for millions of devices in one of
the world's most demanding markets".

"Following the successful completion of these trials, the mobile operator has signed
a software license and master services agreement with DAT Group that will give it a
perpetual license to use current DMP powered applications to provide over-the-air
device management of phone settings, firmware updates, content and device
diagnostics for up to six million unique handsets, which represents a proportion of
the customer's total subscriber base".
