                           ACQUISITION AGREEMENT WITH
                                DAVEL CREDITORS

          DAVEL ACQUISITION ADDS 25,000 LOCATIONS AND 42,000 PAYPHONES
                     TO CREATE NATIONWIDE WIRELESS NETWORK

CLEVELAND, OH SEPTEMBER 7, 2004 -- Davel Communications, Inc. (OTCBB: DAVL)
announced today the signing of a definitive agreement among Davel, MobilePro
Corp. (OTCBB: MOBL) and the secured creditors of Davel, whereby the Telco
division of MobilePro will acquire 100% of Davel's senior secured debt, in the
approximate principal amount of $118 million, as well as approximately 95% of
Davel's issued and outstanding common stock owned by its secured creditors.

The Davel acquisition represents for MobilePro the addition of approximately
42,000 payphones in over 25,000 locations around the United States. The
financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The closing of the
transaction is subject to final regulatory approvals, which are expected within
the next 60 days.

Woody McGee, CEO of Davel, said, "We at Davel are excited that our existing
customers will have a variety of services to access from MobilePro's service
portfolio. The offerings we can now provide will strengthen our existing
relationships by allowing Davel to offer a total package solution for local,
long distance as well as payphone services. In addition, Davel will have the
ability to offer a more competitive solution for future customers."

Jay Wright, MobilePro president and CEO, said, "We believe that Davel's payphone
network gives MobilePro a tremendous real estate footprint for the deployment of
Wi-Fi and/or Wi-Max wireless equipment and thus represents another major step in
the execution of our strategic plan to become a leading next-generation
telecommunications provider. Davel is led by Woody McGee, who we believe is an
excellent chief executive with strong wireless experience and who I look forward
to working with to implement the wireless network."

Kevin Kuykendall, MobilePro group president of Telco Operations, said, "Davel's
25,000 locations not only provide an excellent opportunity to deploy the new
wireless technologies, but will also serve as a launching pad for additional
services to be offered by MobilePro, such as local, long distance, Internet,
VoIP and prepaid calling cards, which are not currently under contract with the
locations. The Davel acquisition, coupled with our other recent acquisitions and
announcements, will further enhance our revenue and earnings base, thus allowing
us to move one step closer to achieving our goal of $120 million in annualized
revenue by the end of 2004."









Provision was also made in the Agreement for the holders of common stock other
than the secured creditors (the "Minority Stockholders"), whose holdings
comprise approximately 4.8% of the outstanding Davel stock. MobilePro has agreed
to purchase all of the shares of capital stock held by the Minority Stockholders
within 180 days of the closing date of the acquisition by MobilePro of the Davel
senior secured debt. The purchase price to be offered to the Minority
Stockholders shall be an amount per share of not less than $0.015, which may be
paid in cash or securities of MobilePro. The form of such purchase could be
through a tender offer, a short-form merger, or some other means as MobilePro
may determine. Prior to undertaking the purchase, MobilePro would retain an
investment banker or other financial advisor to render an opinion that the terms
of the purchase were fair, from a financial point of view, to the Minority
Stockholders. MobilePro is required to deposit into a third-party escrow account
at the closing of the transaction $450,000, which is the approximate amount
necessary to purchase for $0.015 per share the shares of Davel stock currently
held the Minority Stockholders. In the event that the purchase is not made
within 180 days of the Closing, the amount held in escrow would be distributed
pro rata to the Minority Shareholders.

The provisions in the Agreement for the benefit of the Minority Stockholders
were determined by negotiations between MobilePro and a Special Committee of the
Davel Board consisting of non-employee directors not affiliated with the senior
secured lenders of Davel or with MobilePro. In connection with the approval of
the Agreement by Davel, the financial advisors to the Special Committee
delivered an opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the
consideration to be received by the Minority Stockholders, as provided under the
Agreement.

A number of factors not under the control of the Company could affect the type
and amount of consideration actually received by the Minority Stockholders from
MobilePro, and the timing thereof. Further, the obligation of MobilePro to close
the transaction and purchase the shares of the Minority Stockholders remains
subject to the timely securing of certain regulatory approvals with respect to
the proposed transaction from the public utilities commissions of several
states. While the regulatory approvals are expected to be received in a timely
manner, Davel shareholders should be aware that it is possible that, for some
unforeseen reason, delay or failure in obtaining all necessary regulatory
approvals could materially delay or prevent the closing of the transaction
described above. Accordingly, it is not possible for the Company to state with
certainty at this time the precise amount, type and timing of the consideration,
if any, that ultimately may be received by the Minority Stockholders.
