WILTEL PROVIDES ANPI WITH NATIONWIDE VOICE SERVICES SOLUTION.

WilTel Communications Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:WTEL), Tulsa, Okla., has provided Associated Network Partners, Inc. (ANPI) with a nationwide long-distance voice services solution. ANPI serves a consortium of more than 275 independent telephone companies across 36 states, offering high-quality telecom services to its member companies.

"The nationwide solution we created for ANPI, including unique routing and billing capabilities, is an example of WilTel's commitment to craft comprehensive voice solutions that create value for our customers," said Blaine Gilles, vice president of marketing for WilTel. "With nearly 3 billion domestic and international voice minutes delivered for our customers every month, WilTel creates these solutions for providers requiring industry leading reliability and carrier-class services, from RBOCs to consortiums of independent telephone companies, such as ANPI."

Dave Lewis, president of ANPI, said they chose WilTel based on the company's demonstrated ability to deliver a unique marriage of network integrity, product breadth, and competitive pricing with extremely responsive and knowledgeable support staff.

"WilTel's post-sales approach to servicing our account has been outstanding and has exceeded our expectations, which is a refreshing change from the over promise under deliver standard which is all too prevalent in our industry," Lewis said. "I just can't say enough about the flexibility and responsiveness WilTel has consistently demonstrated. They've put substance behind the overused term 'partner.'"

WilTel's ability to deliver advanced network solutions continues to be recognized by both customers and leading industry research firms. In the 2003 Atlantic-ACM Wholesale Carrier Report Card, an independent survey of nearly 700 wholesale customers, WilTel was the top-rated overall network provider for the second year in a row. WilTel was also recognized with two 2003 SUPERQuest Awards -- first place for best OSS/back office system support (WilTel Direct Network Access(SM)) and runner-up for best backbone/core network (EWAN).
