Orion Telecommunications Corp. Launches New Distributor Strategy; ''Get In Early'' Conversion Offer to Gold and Silver Level Status Now Available to Qualifying Distributors Before June 30, 2005.

BAYSIDE, N.Y. -- Orion Telecommunications Corp. (OTC), the world's leading company exclusively focused on providing professional services and manufacturing for the prepaid calling industry, today announced the launch of its new distributor strategy as part of its 100-Day 'Back on Track' Plan. OTC's innovative, "on-the-street" approach provides distributors with customized marketing and support programs, designed to meet the specific needs of customers in their target local markets.

With a reputation for operational excellence as well as end-user value, quality and reliability, OTC is rapidly gaining market leadership in the top metropolitan statistical areas in the US. This growth is due in part to the company's unique, distributor-driven approach, which seeks to equip distributors with the tools they need to outperform the competition and achieve the highest levels of financial success. OTC engages its distributors in a collaborative effort for everything from the manufacturing, research and design to the marketing, distribution, and service of its prepaid calling cards. The end result is a series of customized, one-stop distribution solutions that consistently increase market penetration and sales revenue by addressing exact customer needs.

"We understand that our own success is intimately tied to that of our distributors. The fact is, no one knows the customer better than they do," said Peter Sicilian Jr., OTC's Founder, President and CEO. "That's why we listen closely to our distributors' insight and input, and reinvest a significant percentage of our revenues - unmatched by any other prepaid company in the business - towards providing them with custom solutions, along with the resources and support they need to drive sales."

As part of OTC's custom distribution programs, distributors gain access to one of the most sought-after brands in the prepaid calling industry. Distributors can choose from a wide range of available calling cards, or work with OTC to create custom offerings for their target client base. For instance, OTC is currently rolling out a series of regional calling cards in key markets across the US, Latin & South America, Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, the Middle East and Europe. It has already produced a Signature series of uniquely designed cards that appeal to local interests, such as the popular "futbol" card in Mexico. The company is also planning to introduce a new Value card series, featuring lottery-style cards that reward buyers with free minutes and giveaways.

OTC also provides distributors with the best prepaid calling value in the industry - the result of a unique prepaid purchasing strategy of its own. OTC obtained over 2.5 billion minutes from top-tier vendors such as Qwest, MCI, and XO Communications on a prepaid basis in 2004, which enables the company to ensure the highest quality with the lowest calling rates on the market. In addition, the company has built a state-of-the-art network that leverages the most advanced switches and software from Lucent, Cisco and NACT to improve current call complete ratios, and offer best performance/least cost routing for all calls. End-users are assured of fast and clear connections for both inbound and outbound calls, with few busy signals, top reliability and superior customer service.

"We are pleased to be a valued business partner of OTC, and we are committed to supporting their customers through our reputable products and services," said Eric Gurr, CEO of NACT Telecommunications Inc., a provider of integrated telecom solutions for circuit-switched and data networks. OTC leverages NACT solutions as part of its advanced call network infrastructure. "This should give OTC distributors a sense of pride and confidence knowing that they are representing one of the finest prepaid calling cards in the market."

To increase the value and visibility of its brand for distributors, OTC's sophisticated, custom distribution marketing schemes offer point-of-sale promotions, giveaways, full advertising and media support and access to dedicated sales and "blitz" teams. Distributor programs are available in Gold Circle and Silver Circle levels, both of which feature competitive payment terms, industry-leading discount and incentive packages and a convenient automated return system. Gold Circle distributors also gain full access to OTC's advanced distribution software, which enables them to better monitor their inventory and billing systems.

"The message we got from other prepaid calling card companies was that we were on our own, with nothing more than their cards and some generic marketing materials to help us close the sale. OTC, on the other hand, has come to us at the street level, and worked as a true partner to understand the needs of our customers and develop products and programs that specifically appeal to them," said Mohammed Markata, President of TSI Pre Paid LLC and an OTC Gold Circle Distributor. "This ends up creating a win-win solution for us as well as the end-user. While our own sales figures have skyrocketed, we are confident that our customers are not only getting the products they want, but the best value they can get."
