COMVERSE TECHNOLOGY REPORTS SELECTED UNAUDITED Q1 FINANCIAL RESULTS: RECORD
SALES OF $373.5MM, UP 36.9% Y-O-Y; DELAY IN FILING FORM 10-Q

NEW YORK, NY,    June 12, 2006

Comverse Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: CMVT) today announced sales of $373,528,000
for the first quarter of fiscal 2006, ended April 30, 2006, an increase of 36.9%
year-over-year and 10.6% sequentially, representing the company's fourteenth
consecutive quarter of sequential sales growth, and the highest quarterly sales
in the company's history. The company ended the quarter with an orders backlog
of $741,862,000, down 7.1% sequentially, and up 29.4% year-over-year.

Raz Alon, interim Chief Executive Officer of Comverse Technology, Inc., said,
"We continue to see strong demand drivers for our products, and maintain a
leadership position in our main markets. Our Comverse subsidiary is enhancing
its established leadership in network-based messaging, mobile data, content and
billing, and leveraging that leadership to advance its position in emerging
areas such as converged messaging, IMS and FMC services, new personalization
applications such as avatars, and converged billing. During the quarter,
Comverse achieved several new wins in multimedia messaging and mobile instant
messaging, and our Insight IP-based multimedia Open Services Environment
continues to experience market success, having now been selected by more than 70
service provider customers. We also are pleased with the progress of our
integration of the Kenan Billing Systems group, which Comverse acquired in
December 2005. Comverse Converged Billing solutions have been selected to
provide converged and postpaid billing by several new customers, and the
implementation of those projects is proceeding according to our expectations.
Our Verint subsidiary continues to reinforce its leadership in software-based
analytics for security and business intelligence, with success in video security
for customers such as Wells Fargo, and the City of Beijing in advance of the
2008 Olympics, and the expansion of its BI product portfolio with new solutions
for contact center performance analytics and customer experience management. And
our Ulticom subsidiary is positioning itself to address new and emerging growth
opportunities through its launch of IMS-ready signaling products. We also
continue to look for ways to expand our addressable market opportunity across
each of our business units through new product development and strategic
acquisitions, such as our recent purchase of Netcentrex, which closed after
quarter-end, and has strengthened our Comverse subsidiary's presence in the
emerging VoIP and IMS areas."

The company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents, bank time deposits
and short-term investments of $2,123,771,000, accounts receivable of
$369,298,000, inventories of $131,898,000, advance payments from customers of
$218,181,000, and convertible debt of $419,706,000.




DELAY IN FILING OF QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q AND EARNINGS RELEASE

As a result of the ongoing review by the Special Committee of the company's
Board of Directors relating to the company's stock option grants, the company
will today file a Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") indicating that its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
April 30, 2006 will not be filed with the SEC by the SEC deadline of June 9,
2006. The company will not seek a 5-day filing extension because it does not
believe it will file the Quarterly Report within the extension period.

The company intends to issue results for the quarterly period ended April 30,
2006 and the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, and to file its Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 30, 2006 and Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, together with any restated
historical financial statements, as soon as practicable after the completion of
the Special Committee's review.

NASDAQ LISTING UPDATE

The company has notified The NASDAQ Stock Market that it will not timely file
its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2006
and, accordingly, the company expects to receive an additional Staff
Determination Letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that the delay in
the filing of the Form 10-Q could serve as an additional basis for the potential
delisting of the company's securities from NASDAQ, under NASDAQ Marketplace Rule
4310(c)(14).

As previously disclosed, on April 20, 2006 the company announced that, due to
the delay in the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended January 31, 2006, it had received a Staff Determination Letter from The
NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that the company's securities were subject to
delisting based upon the delinquent Form 10-K, unless the company requested a
hearing before the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel. The company requested a
hearing and presented its plan to regain compliance with NASDAQ's filing
requirement at an in-person hearing before the NASDAQ Panel on May 25, 2006. The
NASDAQ Panel has not yet issued a decision as a result of that hearing.

The company intends to submit to the NASDAQ Panel, within the permissible
timeframe, its plan to file the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended April
30, 2006. It is expected that the NASDAQ Panel's hearing decision will address
both the late Form 10-K and late Form 10-Q filings referenced above. However,
there can be no assurance that the NASDAQ Panel will grant the company's request
for continued listing on NASDAQ.
