GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.--(PR Newswire)--April 13, 2004--BestNet Communications
Corporation (OTCBB: BESC - News), a provider of patented and proprietary global
communication solutions, today announces results for the second quarter of
fiscal 2004.

BestNet achieved record revenue for the second quarter 2004 totaling $552,000,
an increase of 74% compared to the second quarter 2003. Gross margins improved
substantially to 34% as compared to 12% for the second quarter of fiscal 2003
and 3% for the first quarter of fiscal 2004. BestNet believes it can maintain
its current gross margins while concentrating on revenue growth.

Robert A. Blanchard, President and CEO of BestNet Communications commented,
"This quarter's record revenue marks our fifth consecutive record revenue
quarter, providing strong momentum for the balance of fiscal 2004. We have seen
84% revenue growth in these five quarters, in addition to substantially
increasing our gross margins. Our continued effort toward surpassing the break
even mark, along with growth in new customers sustains the value proposition
that BestNet offers. Our continued growth is a result of continued focus on
providing our customers with outstanding quality and service, along with new and
innovative products."

Mr. Blanchard continued, "The next two quarters will be marked with many
significant events including: international growth in targeted geographies
beginning with a current beta test in China, additional language translations
for the new website, enhanced conference calling with North American dial-in
capabilities, and a VoIP offering. Our global VoIP offering will be application
based without the need for routers, adaptors or a broadband Internet connection
- vastly different from the offerings of current VoIP providers. These new
product offerings continue to showcase the flexibility of our GlobalPlex
technology."
