Belgacom ICS and eServGlobal perform first successful International Remittance 
trial with North African Mobile Operator 
Sydney, 24/03/2009 
Belgacom International Carrier Services (Belgacom ICS), a leading global 
provider of voice, data and value added services and eServGlobal Limited (LSE: 
ESG & ASX: ESV), a provider of end-to-end solutions, enabling smart 
communication and payment services, have successfully tested their joint 
service, HomeSend, and performed a first international money transfer through 
the mobile phone. 
The HomeSend service is the first mobile centric global hubbing service for 
international remittance, airtime exchange and roaming recharge. During this 
trial, Belgacom ICS and eServGlobal have successfully tested a first remittance 
corridor between Belgium and a North African country. This represents a 
significant new step in mobile payments, and indeed the telecommunications 
industry. Especially since the GSMA announced during the Mobile World Congress 
in Barcelona that it has chosen Belgacom ICS as one of its partners in the 
Mobile Money Transfer (MMT) programme, an initiative that leverages mobile to 
facilitate access to money transfer services. In the coming months further tests 
are planned to ensure coverage, from Europe and the Middle East to South East 
Asia as well as within Africa and South East Asia. Belgacom ICS and eServGlobal 
are also striving to peer with the other players in the remittance industry, to 
enable Mobile Operators in any country to access the international remittance 
market and gain the largest possible coverage. 
International remittances are a significant sector for mobile payment, allowing 
mobile subscribers to easily and quickly transfer airtime or money 
internationally. According to the GSM Association, some 175 million migrants 
currently use remittance services, sending money to around 800 million dependent 
recipients. Remittance flows have reached US$320 billion, and are estimated to 
reach US$700 billion by 2012. The expansion of any payment offering with 
international remittance services will make it easier for users to send small 
amounts more frequently, generating incremental transaction revenue. 
Laurent Lafarge, CEO of eServGlobal said "This is a great new milestone for 
HomeSend and we are proud to provide mobile operators with this unique value 
proposition that will allow them to access new customers, reduce churn and 
extract maximum value!" 
Daniel Kurgan, CEO of Belgacom ICS said "Since the GSMA endorsement, this 
successful trial is the first big achievement for HomeSend, an innovative new 
hubbing service, that will open up new markets and enable mobile operators to 
make a bold step into a high-value area."
