YEREVAN, December 4. /ARKA/. Breaks in mobile communication provided by
ArmenTel Telecommunication Company are triggered by system migration.

The company’s press office told ARKA News Agency that some subscribers
have their mobile telecommunication cut off because of migration
(transition from one system to another).

To check whether they have communication or not, subscribers have to
switch off and then switch on their telephone sets.

ArmenTel apologizes to its subscribers for inconveniences.

Russian Vympelcom (Bee Line trademark) became ArmenTel’s 100-percent
shareholder in April 2007.

ArmenTel has 608.500 subscribers for stationary telecommunication
and 452,000 mobile communication subscribers.
