         BESTNET COMMUNICATIONS ANNOUNCES NON-BINDING LETTER OF INTENT

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.--(PR Newswire) - March 23, 2006 - BestNet Communications
Corp. ("BESC") announced today that it has entered into a non-binding letter of
intent to acquire JDA Medical Technologies, Inc., a privately held medical
device company located in Clarksville, Maryland. JDA holds an exclusive license
from a prominent University to develop and use a new technology, still in the
process of development, for the treatment of cancer.

The terms of the transaction are still under negotiation, but BESC contemplates
issuing a substantial amount of its common stock for this acquisition. Although
the terms of the deal have not been settled, BESC has made a firm commitment to
advance $350,000 to JDA to finance continued product development activities. The
advance will be convertible into a minority interest in JDA if the business
combination transaction is not consummated with a six-month period.

As with the development of any new medical technology, there is a significant
risk that substantial amounts of money will be required in the future and there
is always the risk that development efforts will not result in a commercially
successful product.

The $350,000 advance will be made out of BESC's current funds. When finalized,
the acquisition is expected to require additional funding in excess of
$3,000,000, which BESC contemplates acquiring from investors, although there are
as yet no firm agreements for that financing.
