PHONE.COM TO ESTABLISH SPANISH OFFICE
Company Continues To Increase European Presence with planned New
Office in Spain
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (April 18, 2000) ¾ Phone.com, Inc. (Nasdaq:PHCM),
a leading provider of Internet software and services, today announced
it is to open a new Sales and Support business office in Madrid.
Phone.com(TM)'s plans for a local Spanish office demonstrate the
company's aggressive pursuit of new business opportunities in the
rapidly growing European WAP infrastructure and applications market,
particularly in Spain, and the broader international Spanish speaking
market. In an ongoing effort to increase its global presence,
Phone.com announced last month that it has opened a new office in
Paris, France.
The Phone.com Madrid office will be chartered to manage expanded
business growth, provide local support for existing Spanish customers
and to further Phone.com's market leadership position in Europe. The
company will offer technical support services in order to provide
local customer service and meet the needs of the rapidly expanding
Spanish wireless market, where mobile subscribers have increased by
60% in the past year alone. The Spanish office is expected to be open
for business by mid April.
"Our latest expansion in Europe with the opening of the Madrid office
demonstrates Phone.com's determination to facilitate the global
advancement of mobile Internet access. Providing exceptional localized
customer support and technical service confirms our commitment to help
network operators deliver the best new services with the greatest
benefit to their subscribers," said Mike Mulica, senior vice
president, worldwide sales, consulting and support at Phone.com.
