Turkcell has selected Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) as its partner to manage and

including operations, maintenance and expansion of Turkcell's mobile and fixed

as a mobile network operator. At Turkcell, we continue to invest in both our
current network and future technologies. We feel that our ideologies regarding
the future of ICT are aligned with Ericsson. We see this cooperation as a
milestone in order to reach common goals."

offerings. Ericsson's experience-centric managed services model focuses on
customer expectations and demands, and aligns service delivery in accordance
with these requirements.

continue to build on our long standing partnership with Turkcell, evolving our
services to provide the best solutions in terms of network quality, simplified
ways of working, tools and processes. We hope that by becoming Turkcell's
exclusive managed services partner in the Marmara region, we will set a
benchmark for field maintenance services throughout Turkcell."
