GlobeTel Provides Update on Closing of Russian Transaction

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--()--March 3, 2006--GlobeTel Communications Corp. (AMEX:GTE) today announced that it was notified today by LLC Internafta that the close of the transaction providing the funding for the installation of wireless networks in 30 cities throughout the Russian Federation, scheduled for March 2, 2006, has been delayed by the bank until next week due to internal bank scheduling. The transaction is being syndicated by several tier one European Banks.

Timothy Huff, CEO of GlobeTel stated, "Internafta has reassured GlobeTel that the transaction is in its final stages. This has been a suspenseful time for our shareholders, and for us, as we wait for the network to begin its deployment. Internafta and GlobeTel do not control the timing and events in this banking transaction."

LLC Internafta's Director General Maxim Chernizov added, "We are confident that all the issues will be resolved in the upcoming few days not weeks. We have been working together with the staff at GlobeTel Wireless for many months on this transaction and I feel that we are at the last few steps in a very complex banking process. We are committed to this transaction and still remain very excited about providing a state-of-the-art wireless network to the people of the Russian Federation."

Timothy Huff went on to say, "This transaction will not be allowed to be left hanging open with continuing delays. I believe it is in the best interest of GlobeTel to continue to work with Internafta as long as I believe that the transaction is moving forward and that both parties are working in good faith to finalize it."

The network will be operated by NuTel Wireless ("NuTel"), a Russian company 100% owned by a European Joint Venture company established by GlobeTel and Internafta. Each party will own 50% of the shares of the European JV company that owns NuTel.
