Axesstel Receives Significant Purchase Orders from One of the World's Leading Wireless Service Providers.

SAN DIEGO -- Axesstel, Inc. (AMEX:AFT), a designer, manufacturer and marketer of high-quality, CDMA-based fixed wireless voice and data products for the worldwide telecommunications market, announced today that it has received significant purchase orders from a leading provider of communication services. The telecommunications company has requested that Axesstel supply the company's Venezuelan affiliate with custom-configured models of Axesstel's CDMA2000 1x fixed wireless desktop phone terminals.

Axesstel began shipping products to the affiliate in the third quarter of 2004. The customized telephones on order are designed to provide cost-efficient voice and messaging data capabilities to customers. The telephones will be marketed by the affiliate to residential and business customers and will be co-branded by Axesstel and the affiliate.

This major US telecommunications company continues to evaluate the use of Axesstel's fixed wireless phones with a view to supplying other international affiliates in the Caribbean Islands.

"The high expense and logistical difficulties involved when operators attempt to extend their conventional copper-wire, land-line networks throughout developing countries can cause tremendous delays for consumers in gaining the basic telephone access that is taken for granted in the U.S.," said Mike Kwon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Axesstel. "In supporting operators such as our new customer, Axesstel continues to pioneer fixed wireless voice and data technologies as a cost-effective alternative to a prohibitively expensive build-out of regional wire telecommunications networks. Axesstel's innovative voice and data solutions are designed to allow operators to deploy an infrastructure on a par with networks deployed in North America and Europe."

"We are extremely pleased to add such a prominent company to our growing list of new customers," continued Mr. Kwon. "We believe that this win further validates our business model and demonstrates that fixed wireless solutions are the highest quality, fastest, and most cost-effective way to provide high-quality telephony to 'unwired' markets worldwide. We are excited with our wins thus far as we continue to grow and diversify our customer base."
