services,  announced  today that it has  entered  into an  agreement  to provide
international long-distance services to a US based Fortune 100 company operating

Execution of the agreement concluded a 12 month trial of Bestnet's long distance
and conference  calling services  involving the Fortune 100 company's offices in

milestone for our company. From the beginning, we have worked very hard to build
a quality service suited for global businesses. Starting when our product was in
beta-trial,  this  multi-national  company  provided  valuable  feedback used to
improve  every  aspect of our service.  We believe that the patented  technology
upon which our services are based insulates us from direct competition, and that
our recent  success in securing a global  organization  as a user of our service
further validates Bestnetcall as a valuable  communication tool for business and
industry."
