USN Communications Upgrades Customer Service And Technical Support

             USN Launches "One Call Does It All" Service Platform

    CHICAGO, June 11 /PRNewswire/ -- USN Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: USNC)
announced today the consolidation of its regional customer service
organization under one roof in Oak Brook, Ill. and the roll out of its "one
call does it all" customer service and technical support focus.  One toll-free
number (877-USN-CARES) now provides complete customer assistance on USN's full
range of products seven days a week, 24-hours a day nationwide.  Customers can
conveniently reach USN customer service using any of USN's products: phone,
fax, email or page.
    "USN is committed to providing superior customer service that exceeds
small to mid-sized customers' expectations," said J. Thomas Elliott, chairman,
president and CEO, USN Communications.
    "Consolidating our operations into a single center provides us the scale
to achieve more cost effective delivery of higher quality service.  It helps
us to extend not just the time of day and days of the week customers can reach
USN, but also the way and the speed at which they can reach out to the
company.  We harnessed the strength of all of our communications products to
ensure that customers can quickly access USN in whatever way is most
convenient to them."
    Customers are now able to add new products, request technical service and
review their bill with a USN customer support specialist any time of the day
using any USN service.  In addition to the "one call does it all" service
platform, the company is deploying field support representatives to each USN
sales office to personally assist the company's rapidly expanding customer
base with both technical and customer support issues.

distance services, USN Communications is one of the largest and fastest
growing independent competitive local exchange carriers.  The company offers a
bundled package of telecommunications products, including local and long
distance telephony, cellular, voicemail, paging, teleconferencing, USN Power
