Single Touch Interactive, and Nextel Mexico, announced that Single Touch will become the platform provider of billing and data services for Nextel Mexico. In addition, Single Touch will expand its award-winning Abbreviated Dialing Code programs for Nextel Mexico.

This relationship with Nextel Mexico is an important benchmark for Single Touch Interactive as they expand globally into the Latin American market.

"As the provider of billing and data and other services to Nextel Mexico, we are looking forward to working closely with them to support and enhance their current services through our advanced technologies,” says Anthony Macaluso, Founder and CEO of Single Touch Interactive.

Nextel Mexico, headquartered in Mexico City, currently offers a fully integrated wireless communications tool with digital cellular voice services, data services, wireless Internet access and Nextel Direct Connect^(R) and International Direct Connect^(TM), a digital two- way radio feature. The partnership with Single Touch will not only allow Nextel Mexico to attract new subscribers through enhanced product and service offerings, it will also allow them to serve established customers more effectively in existing markets.

Single Touch has added a key new member to the management team to oversee and direct the Nextel Mexico partnership. Chris Black, a wireless industry veteran, will be joining Single Touch Interactive as President of Data Services. Black has over thirteen years of experience building, selling and distributing both consumer and enterprise wireless solutions across the United States.
