Amstrad plc extends e-m@iler relationship with One.Tel


Amserve, the Amstrad plc subsidiary and One.Tel, the UK's leading alternative
communications provider, have agreed to extend their relationship following
successful trials over the past 12 months. Under the new agreement, Amserve will
advertise OneTel's services on the screens of its e-m@ilerplus. One.Tel will pay
Amserve for customers acquired as well as an advertising contribution. The
e-m@ilerplus unit has an integrated cost-saver facility and can be set to route
calls automatically onto One.Tel low call rates. One.Tel will be promoting its
unlimited evening and weekend calls package which costs #4.99 per month. One.Tel
customers can choose to receive and pay their bill on-line on the e-m@ilerplus.


Simon Sugar, Amstrad's commercial director said "There is a good synergy in our
business objectives and we both have exceptionally strong value propositions
which appeal to the mass market."


"The e-m@ilerplus has proved to be another effective medium for the promotion of
One.Tel's services. Its hard to imagine a better place to advertise telephone
services than on the screen of a telephone in the home!" explained Alex Campbell
from One.Tel.
