BestNet Signs Agreement With UK Distributor; New Service, Called Nurvtel.com, Aimed at U.K. and Africa Markets

    TUCSON, Ariz., Nov 20 /PRNewswire/ -- BestNet Communications Corp.
(OTC Bulletin Board: BESC) provider of internet-based telecommunication
solutions announced an agreement with Nurvtel Ltd., as part of an
international expansion strategy.
    Nurvtel recently launched its long distance and interactive conference
calling services to customers in the UK and Africa.  The branded service is
based on BestNet's proprietary technology and is accessible at the company's
website:  http://www.nurvtel.com .
    Nicole Niemeyer, project manager for BestNet said, "Since its introduction
a short time ago, Nurvtel has shown strong growth, validating the acceptance
of this service overseas.  This is an excellent example of how we are entering
markets outside North America with partners who have the knowledge, resources
and infrastructure to support localized sales and marketing initiatives."
    Jay Shah, CEO of Nurvtel said, "With the comparatively high rates charged
by Telco's in Africa, we are saving our customers an average of 80%.  With
enhanced features, such as online billing and interactive conference calling,
we're providing value not offered by the competition.  Accordingly, we believe
we can sustain a 40 to 50% monthly growth rate."  Ajit Shah, President of
Nurvtel added, "BestNet has provided excellent support which allows us to
focus our efforts on marketing and sales.  There is a definite need for these
services in Africa, and we provide a great opportunity for companies and
individuals to communicate globally, at reduced cost."
