                                                                      EXHIBIT-99

               BestNet Announces Possible Arbitration with Softalk

GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan - November 29, 2004 - BestNet Communications Corp. (the
"Registrant") (OTCBB: BESC) announced today that on or about November 22, 2004,
Softalk, Inc., the licensor under the license for the use of the technology with
which the Registrant conducts its business, has alleged that the Registrant has
breached the terms of the License Agreement, as amended, and is seeking to
terminate the License Agreement and has demanded the commencement of arbitration
proceedings to determine the issues. Those proceedings have not yet commenced.
If and when they actually commence, they will be conducted before an arbitrator
in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The Registrant intends to contest the matter vigorously and to assert one or
more counterclaims against Softalk.

If Softalk were to prevail in the arbitration, the Registrant's license could be
terminated and, while it could continue to service its existing customers, could
not expand its customer base and its current business would be materially
adversely affected.

No estimate has yet been made of the possible cost of the arbitration
proceedings to the Registrant.
