STOCKHOLM, Sweden--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 13, 2000--CellPoint Inc. (Nasdaq: CLPT; www.cellpt.com) announces the commercial agreement with the mobile division of France Telecom (NYSE: FTE; www.francetelecom.fr).

Security, Information and Messaging services based on mobile location technologies will soon be widely available on the GSM world market where GSM users exceed 290 million already. These new commercial services provide strong leverage for network operators and are secured by CellPoint`s leadership position in delivering location-based services that are ready to launch with proven technology.``
