                             SOLICITATION OF PROXIES



     This Proxy Statement is being furnished to shareholders of XETA
Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") by its Board of Directors to solicit proxies
for use at a Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on June 26, 2000, at the
Company's headquarters at 1814 West Tacoma, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma 74012, at
3:30 p.m., local time, or at such other time and place to which the Special
Meeting may be adjourned.


     The purpose of the Special Meeting is (i) to approve a proposal to amend
the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the
number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 50,000,000 and to change the par
value of the Common Stock to $0.002 per share; and (ii) if the foregoing
amendment is approved, to approve an additional amendment to the Company's
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to further reduce the par
value of the Common Stock to $0.001 per share in order to effect a two-for-one
stock split of the Company's Common Stock declared by the Board of Directors.

     You are urged to promptly complete and return the accompanying proxy card
in the envelope provided, whether or not you intend to be present at the Special
Meeting. If you are present at the Special Meeting and wish to vote your shares
in person, the accompanying proxy will, at your request, be returned to you at
the Special Meeting. Any shareholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke it
at any time before it is exercised by executing a subsequently dated proxy,
submitting a notice of revocation to the Company, or attending the Special
Meeting and voting in person.

     Proxies properly executed and returned will be voted in accordance with the
specifications marked on the proxy card. Proxies containing no specifications
will be voted in favor of the proposals described in this Proxy Statement.


     It is expected that this Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy
will first be mailed to shareholders on or about May 19, 2000. The cost of
soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company. The Company will reimburse
brokerage firms, banks and other nominees, custodians and fiduciaries for their
reasonable expenses incurred in sending proxy materials to beneficial owners of
shares and obtaining their instructions. The Company has retained American
Securities Transfer & Trust, Inc. ("AST") to assist in the distribution of the
proxies and proxy statements for an estimated fee of $1,500.00. Votes will be
tabulated by AST.



                                VOTING SECURITIES


     Only shareholders of record at the close of business on May 12, 2000 (the
record date) are entitled to vote at the meeting and any adjournment thereof. As
of that date there were 4,169,474 shares of Common Stock of the Company
outstanding (excluding 509,394 shares held in treasury). Shareholders are
entitled to one vote per share of Common Stock registered in their names on the
record date. A majority of the shares entitled to vote, present in person or
represented by proxy, is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Special
Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as shares present in
determining whether the quorum requirement is satisfied, but since the approval
of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock is required
to adopt the proposals being presented, abstentions and broker non-votes will
have the same effect as a vote against these proposals.

                                 PROPOSAL NO. 1

              AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE
                  THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED COMMON SHARES AND TO
                                CHANGE PAR VALUE

     The Board of Directors is seeking shareholder approval to amend Article VI
of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended
(the "Restated Certificate"), to increase the number of authorized shares of
Common Stock, par value $0.05 per share, of the Company from 10,000,000 to
50,000,000 shares and to change the par value of the Common Stock from $0.05 to
$0.002 per share. This proposal has been adopted by the Board subject to
approval thereof by the shareholders of the Company and is attached hereto as
Appendix I and made a part hereof. The following discussion is qualified in its
entirety to such reference.

INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES


     As of April 19, 2000, 4,169,474 shares of Common Stock were issued and
outstanding and the Company had 509,394 shares in treasury. Also as of that
date, 1,646,372 shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to
options previously granted under the Company's former employee stock option plan
and under the Company's 2000 Stock Option Plan (the "2000 Plan") approved by the
shareholders at the Company's April 11, 2000 annual meeting, options previously
granted under individual agreements with certain officers and outside directors,
and options which may be granted in the future under the 2000 Plan. This leaves
only 3,674,760 authorized shares remaining as unreserved and available for
future issuance.


     The proposed increase in the authorized Common Stock has been recommended
by the Board to assure that an adequate supply of authorized and unissued shares
is available to accomplish the two-for-one stock split declared by the Board and
presented herein to the shareholders for approval (see Proposal No. 2 below),
and for general corporate needs such as future stock splits and stock dividends,
raising additional capital, financing arrangements, the conversion of other
securities (such as warrants and preferred stock) that may be issued by the
Company in the future, and acquisitions by the Company of other businesses if
favorable opportunities become available. Except for issuances of shares of
Common Stock pursuant to the Company's outstanding stock options and the 2000
Option Plan as disclosed herein, and resulting from the two-for-one stock split
proposed herein if approved by the shareholders, the Company presently has no
specific arrangements, commitments or understandings to issue additional shares
of Common Stock.

     Authorized but unissued shares of the Company's Common Stock may be issued
at such times, for such purposes and for such consideration as the Board of
Directors may determine to be appropriate without further authority from the
Company's shareholders, except as otherwise required by applicable corporate law
or Nasdaq or stock exchange policies. If the Board of Directors elects to issue
additional shares of Common Stock for any purpose other than a stock split or
stock dividend, such issuance could have a dilutive effect on earnings per
share, voting power and the present equity holdings of the shareholders. The
Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for
preemptive rights with respect to Common Stock. Thus, should the Board of
Directors elect to issue additional shares of Common Stock, existing
shareholders would not have any preferential rights to purchase such shares.

     Although the Board of Directors has no present intention of doing so, the
Company's authorized but unissued Common Stock and Preferred Stock could be
issued in one or more transactions which would make more difficult or costly,
and less likely, a takeover of the Company. The proposed amendment to the
Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is not being
recommended in response to any specific effort of which the Company is aware to
obtain control of the Company, nor is the Board of Directors currently proposing
to shareholders any anti-takeover measures.


                                       3
<PAGE>   6


     The proposed amendment would not affect the authorized Preferred Stock. The
Company's 500,000 authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock having a par
value of $.10 per share may be issued with such rights, preferences, and
limitations as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time. No shares
of Preferred Stock are currently issued and outstanding.

CHANGE IN PAR VALUE

     The primary reason for proposing a reduction in the amount of par value
assigned to the stock is to minimize the Secretary of State filing fee to be
charged in connection with the amendment to the Company's Restated Certificate
increasing the number of authorized shares to 50,000,000. The filing fee for
such an increase, if the par value of the shares remained at $0.05, would be
$2,000.00. The filing fee for such an increase when the par value per share is
$0.002, is $50.00.

     A change in the par value of the Company's Common Stock from the current
value of $0.05 per share to $0.002 per share will have no effect upon the dollar
amount of the Company's total shareholders' equity and no substantive effect
upon the Company's balance sheet. (If this proposed amendment is approved, the
Common Stock account at $0.05 par value will be reduced to reflect the product
of the number of shares outstanding times the new par value of $0.002 per share,
and the difference will be transferred to the paid-in capital account. This
transfer will have no negative impact upon any amounts legally available for
distribution to shareholders.)

     The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of shares of Common Stock
outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is required to approve
this amendment to the Company's Restated Certificate.

     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR
PROPOSAL 1.


                                 PROPOSAL NO. 2

                              STOCK SPLIT PROPOSAL

     On April 7, 2000, the Board of Directors approved a two-for-one split of
the Company's shares of Common Stock outstanding for shareholders of record as
of the close of business on June 30, 2000 (the "Stock Split"). The Stock Split
is subject to shareholder approval of the Board's recommendation to increase the
Company's authorized Common Stock and reduce its par value as presented in
Proposal No. 1 above, and to thereafter amend the Company's Restated Certificate
as presented in this Proposal No. 2 to further adjust the par value of the
Common Stock in proportion to the Stock Split ratio in order to effect the Stock
Split. Because the Company does not currently have enough authorized but
unissued and unreserved shares to effect the Stock Split, this Proposal No. 2,
and therefore the Stock Split, are contingent upon the shareholders' approval of
Proposal No. 1.

     To accomplish the Stock Split, the Board is submitting for shareholder
approval a proposal to amend Article VI of the Company's Restated Certificate
(the "Stock Split Amendment") to reduce the par value of the Common Stock from
$0.002 (the par value after approval of Proposal No. 1 above) to $0.001 to
effect a two-for-one stock split of the Common Stock for shareholders of record
as of the close of business on June 30, 2000. Assuming that Proposal No. 1 is
passed, if the Stock Split Amendment is approved by the shareholders the Company
will issue one new share of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock
outstanding as of the record date of the Stock Split. A true and correct copy of
resolutions of the Board declaring the Stock Split and setting forth in full the
amendment to Article VI of the Company's Restated Certificate (as amended by
Proposal No. 1) is attached hereto as Appendix II and made a part hereof. The
following discussion is qualified in its entirety to such reference.

REASONS FOR THE STOCK SPLIT


     During the Company's current fiscal year beginning November 1, 1999, the
price per share of the Company's Common Stock reached a record high of $67.87
per share on March 14, 2000. The closing Nasdaq bid price on May 8, 2000 was
$40.00 per share. The Board of Directors believes that the price per share is
currently in a price range that makes the Common Stock less affordable for
purchase in lots of 100 or more shares ("round-lots"). Although it is not
possible to predict the precise impact the Stock Split would have on the trading
price of the Company's Common Stock, the Stock Split would have the effect of
reducing the Common Stock's per share



                                       4
<PAGE>   7


trading price, thereby enabling more people to make a purchase of the Common
Stock resulting in a wider distribution of the Stock. Furthermore, by increasing
the number of shares outstanding, the Stock Split would encourage and facilitate
trades in the Company's Common Stock which the Board believes would establish a
more liquid market in the Common Stock, thus creating more liquidity in each
shareholder's investment.

EFFECT OF THE STOCK SPLIT

     All existing rights of shareholders will remain unchanged by the Stock
Split, and the relative ownership position of each shareholder will remain
unchanged. Because the par value of the Company's Common Stock will be reduced
in relation to the ratio of the Stock Split, the aggregate par value of the
Company's Common Stock and the Company's paid-in capital and retained earnings
will be unaffected. The only change in the Company's financial statement as a
result of the Stock Split will be the presentation of earnings per share, which
will be reduced proportionately for all accounting periods presented.


     As of the Record Date for this special meeting, the Company had 4,678,868
shares of Common Stock outstanding, of which 509,394 shares were treasury
shares. If the Stock Split is approved, the number of shares outstanding will be
9,357,736 (including 1,018,788 treasury shares), assuming no other change in the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after the Record Date.

     All stock options outstanding on the record date of the Stock Split would
be proportionately adjusted in the number of shares subject to such options and
in their per share exercise price. As of the Record Date for this Special
Meeting, there were 1,458,022 shares of the Company's Common Stock subject to
outstanding stock purchase options. Likewise, the number of shares remaining
available for issuance under the Company's 2000 Stock Option Plan would be
proportionately increased from 188,350 shares to 376,700 shares in accordance
with the terms of such Plan.


     The Company's Common Stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq National
Market System. The new shares to be issued as a result of the Stock Split will
be included in the Company's listing on Nasdaq. Consummation of the stock split
will have no material federal tax consequences to stockholders.

DELIVERY OF ADDITIONAL SHARE CERTIFICATES

     As soon as practicable following the payment date of the Stock Split, the
Company will mail to each shareholder of record on the payment date a share
certificate representing the number of shares of Common Stock that, when
aggregated with the shareholder's present number of shares, will equal two times
the number of shares of Common Stock held by the shareholder on the payment
date.

RECOMMENDATION AND VOTE

     The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common
Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is required to
approve this amendment to the Company's Restated Certificate to effect the Stock
Split.

     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR
PROPOSAL 2.

                    AUTHORIZING INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES
                           AND REDUCTION IN PAR VALUE


     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company believes it to be necessary
and prudent to increase the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is
authorized to issue so that the Company has an adequate supply of authorized and

accomplish corporate purposes such as stock splits, stock dividends, the making
of acquisitions through the use of stock, the raising of equity capital, or
other corporate purposes as the need may arise; and

     WHEREAS, the Board finds it appropriate and in the best interests of the
Company to simultaneously change the par value of the Common Stock from $0.05
per share to $0.002 per share; now, therefore, be it

     RESOLVED, that the Board hereby recommends that Article VI of the Company's
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation be amended to increase the
authorized shares of Common Stock to 50,000,000 shares and to change the par
value of the Common Stock to $0.002 per share, subject to the approval of the
shareholders at a special meeting of shareholders called for such purpose; and
be it

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that upon approval of such amendment by the shareholders,
the officers of the Company are authorized and directed to execute and file with
the Secretary of State of Oklahoma an appropriate amendment to Article VI of the
Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, in
accordance with the requirements of the Oklahoma General Corporation Act and the
terms of the foregoing resolutions.

                             REDUCTION IN PAR VALUE


     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company believes it to be in the
best interests of the Company that the Company effect a two-for-one split of its
outstanding shares of Common Stock by reducing the par value of the Common Stock

share of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the record date
will receive one additional share of the Company's Common Stock; and

shareholder approval of the Board's proposal (i) to increase the authorized
shares of the Company's Common Stock to 50,000,000 shares and to change the par
value of the Common Stock from $0.05 per share to $0.002 per share, and (ii) to
subsequently reduce the par value of the Common Stock to $0.001 in order to
effect the stock split; now, therefore, be it

     RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors hereby declares a two-for-one stock
split of the Company's Common Stock, payable on or about July 17, 2000, for
shareholders of record of the outstanding Common Stock as of the close of
business on June 30, 2000, contingent upon approval by the shareholders of (i)
the Board's recommendation to amend Article VI of the Company's Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of
Common Stock to 50,000,000 and to change the par value of the Common Stock from
$0.05 per share to $0.002 per share; and (ii) an additional amendment to Article
VI of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to change the par value of the
Common Stock from $0.002 per share to $0.001 per share for purposes of effecting
the two-for-one stock split; and be it

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that the shares covered by the Company's stock option
plans and agreements and all options to purchase the Company's Common Stock
outstanding immediately preceding the split shall be appropriately adjusted in
accordance with the terms of such plans, agreements, documents and instruments
to reflect the stock split; and be it

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that the President, any Vice President and the Secretary
of the Company are hereby authorized and directed to issue as of July 17, 2000,

President be, and each of them hereby is, authorized and directed to execute and
