CHOICETEL COMMUNICATIONS CLOSES SALE OF MIDWEST PAYPHONE ROUTE
- --------------------------------------------------------------

Minneapolis-Choicetel Communications, Inc.(NASDAQ:PHON) closed the sale of
approximately 2,100 payphones located in Minnesota, Wisconsin, New York, Iowa
and North Dakota to Access Anywhere L.L.C., of Minneapolis.

Choicetel had previously announced its intentions to divest payphone assets in
the Midwest, Philadelphia and Puerto Rico in order to focus on the development
of the public Internet access business of its subsidiary, Advants, Inc.

Gary Kohler, Chairman, stated "Our experience leasing, operating and managing a
network of public payphones will help us transition from a low growth market to
the dynamically growing public Internet market.  We envision a future where our
ADVANTS public Internet terminals are as common and essential as public
payphones have been in the past".
