             American Telecom Services Hires Director of Subscriber
                                    Services
                 To Facilitate and Accelerate Subscriber Growth

CITY OF  INDUSTRY,  Calif.,  April 19, 2007  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/  -- American
Telecom  Services,  Inc.  (Amex:  TES - News), a leader in the  "Convergence  of
Voice",  today announced that it has appointed Janice Walker, an 11-year veteran
in the telecom industry,  specializing in customer  acquisition and service,  as
the Company's first Director of Subscriber Services, effective immediately.

Prior to joining American Telecom Services, Ms. Walker managed sales support for
Verizon's  largest domestic region.  In this role, she developed,  monitored and
tracked  the  organization's  sales  strategy  and was  responsible  for driving
performance  metrics by monitoring  sales  results for  Verizon's  consumer call
centers.  Additionally,  she  developed  and monitored  training  programs,  and
implemented Performance Improvement Plans (PIP) for sales and line retention.

Bruce Hahn,  Chief Executive  Officer of American  Telecom  Services  commented,
"American  Telecom  Services has completed the first two critical  phases of its
evolution,  successfully  bringing several new DECT 6.0 home phones bundled with
services to market and selling them through  more than 15,000  retail  locations
nationwide,  including  some of the largest retail chains in the U.S. We are now
enhancing  our  efforts  to  expand  and  manage  our  subscriber   base,  which
contributes to an increase in our recurring revenue and to the Company's path to
profitability. Janice brings a solid base of experience to American Telecom, and
was the ideal  candidate to lead this effort as our new  Director of  Subscriber
Services. Her initial focus is maximizing our external call center resources and
optimizing training programs to improve our service partners' sales and customer
service.  We are confident  that  Janice's  broad  experience  will assist us in
generating sustainable services revenues.

"Initially  we focused on building  our Pay N' Talk line of  traditional  phones
bundled with prepaid long distance  service," added Mr. Hahn. "In December,  the
sell though success of our  patent-pending  Internet Phones,  through one of the
nation's largest office superstores, has created the foundation for an increased
focus on acquiring and retaining profitable  additional SunRocket and Lingo VoIP
customers."

Ms. Walker concluded, "American Telecom Services' innovation in telecom with new
DECT  technology  (the global  standard of excellence)  brings  state-of-the-art
communications  services to mainstream  Americans  through major retailers.  The
Company has  distributed  millions of dollars of several  phone  models into the
market in a very short time,  which has created  tremendous  call center  volume
thereby creating sales and activation  opportunities  for recurring  revenue.  I
look forward to leading the team and continuing to expand the Company's customer
base and services."
