HOMEX - Perth

+++++++++++++++++++++++++
New Tel Limited announces that it has today entered into an agreement
to purchase Delta Phones Pty Ltd (Delta), one of New Tel's major
mobile phone dealers to strengthen the Mobile Division of New Tel.

The purchase consideration is $4 million paid as a convertible note
with up to a further $1 million in performance incentives paid in New
Tel ordinary shares. The note may be converted into shares any time
between 9 September 2002 and 26 December 2003, with the number of
shares to be issued to be determined by the closing price on the day
prior to the conversion notice being received by the Company up to a
maximum of 17.8 million shares. The performance incentives are based
on the number of net mobile phone activations achieved in three
years, with the number of shares to be issued to be determined by the
closing price at the end of that period.

Delta is owned by Mr Mario Salvo (owner of Delta Europcar). Mr Joseph
Touma and Mr Ray Sleiman. The purchase of Delta is a result of New
Tel's assessment of it's dealer agreements arising from the recent
acquisition of Digiplus. This consolidates the Company's mobile phone
marketing program into one division with a strong retail presence and
will decrease customer acquisition costs.

Delta has 30 retail outlets in Victoria and New South Wales which
will be rebranded as New Tel stores, and New Tel will expand on these
and Delta's 30 authorised agents to achieve a strong retail presence
in all capital cities. The retail outlets will offer New Tel's
complete range of products and services including competitive mobile
services, local, national, international and internet.

Delta has a state of the art call centre facility and customer
loyalty programmes that have proved very successful in securing and
retaining customers, and New Tel will use these to enhance it's
acquisition, retention and marketing programmes.

The Company may also seek shareholder approval for the issue of the
consideration if required under Listing Rule 7.1.

A media release is attached.

retail dealers in a $4 million deal which has an added $1 million
performance incentive component.

New Tel's managing director and CEO, Peter Malone, said today the
Delta purchase resulted from an assessment of its national dealer
network and its recent $50 million acquisition of Digiplus.

"Delta's customer loyalty programs along with their ability to secure
and retain clients makes them an attractive proposition for New Tel,"
he said.

"In fact, once the arrangements are completed their programs will be
central to our expanded mobile telephony division, and decrease our
customer acquisition costs.

"New Tel is to rebrand Delta's retail outlets as New Tel shops, and
we will offer customers our complete range of fixed, mobile, local,
national and international telephony and Internet services.

"The $4 million will be paid via a convertible note and the incentive
payment of up to $1 million depends an the number of mobile customers
obtained over a three year period with the payment in New Tel shares
determined by the closing price at the time."
