Elephant Talk and ValidSoft Featured in Seeking Alpha and TopStockAnalysts.com

SCHIPHOL, THE NETHERLANDS and LONDON- (Oct 12, 2011) – Elephant Talk Communications Corporation (OTCBB: ETAK) (www.elephanttalk.com) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ValidSoft Limited (www.validsoft.com), announced that the companies have been highlighted in recent investment news reports in Seeking Alpha, by Dustin Moore, and in TopStockAnalysts.com, by Andy Obermueller.

Elephant Talk is an international provider of business software and services to the telecommunications and financial services industry. The company enables both mobile carriers and virtual operators to offer a full suite of products, delivery platforms, support services, superior industry expertise and high quality customer service without substantial upfront investments from clients. ValidSoft is a global supplier of fraud prevention, authentication and transaction verification solutions across banking channels.

In his article in TopStockAnalysts.com, Obermueller noted that Elephant Talk owns some unique elements of the mobile-phone business in Europe and has the ability to integrate mobile payment systems.

In his Seeking Alpha article, Moore noted the partnership ValidSoft made recently with Adeptra (www.adeptra.com), and cited ValidSoft’s proprietary technology that adds security by correlating the proximity of a financial transaction with a user’s mobile device in real-time.

Moore noted that the technology is able to make this correlation between the mobile device and the ATM or point of sale (POS) within the 400 milliseconds it takes to process a transaction. It does not track customers and maintains complete customer location privacy, unlike GPS-based systems, Moore added.

Moore also pointed out that ValidSoft’s patented fraud management and customer communication solution will be offered to Adeptra’s clients. Adeptra is a global leader in offering these types of services, he said, whose clients include at least half of the top 10 North American and UK card issuers, as well as four of the top five in Australia.

ValidSoft was awarded the EuroPrise Privacy Seal by the European Union for consumer privacy protection.
