FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MIC STOCKHOLM LISTING

New York, London and Luxembourg – March 25, 2004 – Millicom International Cellular S.A. (Nasdaq Stock Market: MICC) (“MIC”), the global telecommunications investor, today announces that it has received approval for a listing on the O-list on the Stockholm Stock Exchange (Stockholmsbörsen). The trading in the Swedish Depositary Receipts (SDR's) is expected to commence on Tuesday, March 30, 2004.

Marc Beuls, President and CEO of Millicom commented: “Millicom decided to list its shares on the Stockholm Stock Exchange, in addition to our primary market listing on NASDAQ, as we believe that there is substantial investor interest in Europe, particularly in Sweden where there is high awareness of some Millicom affiliates. Millicom will be the third largest telecom operator listed on the Swedish market and our exposure to high growth emerging markets will be an attractive alternative for investors.”
