ECtel Receives NASDAQ Notice of Bid Price Deficiency

ROSH HA’AYIN, Israel – September 21, 2009 – ECtel Ltd. (NASDAQ: ECTX), a leading provider of Integrated Revenue Management™ (IRM®) solutions for communications service providers, announced today that on September 15, 2009, the Company received a letter from NASDAQ stating that the Company is not in compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5450 (a)(1) (the "Minimum Bid Price Rule") because shares of its common stock had closed at a per share bid price of less than $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days. In accordance with Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided with 180 calendar days, or until March 15, 2010, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.

If at any time prior to March 15, 2010, the bid price of the Company's securities closes at $1.00 per share or more, for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, NASDAQ will provide written notification that compliance has been regained.

In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule prior to the expiration of the grace period, it will receive written notification that its securities are subject to delisting. Alternatively, the Company may be eligible for an additional grace period if it meets the initial listing standards, with the exception of bid price, for The NASDAQ Capital Market. To avail itself of this alternative, the Company will need to submit an application to transfer its securities to The NASDAQ Capital Market.
