3GSM is the industry's premier event for mobile/wireless operators, vendors and suppliers. Fonix will showcase our easy-to-use, safe and convenient speech interfaces for mobile devices and systems. Fonix speech solutions will be demonstrated on the following mobile devices and gaming platforms:

-- Windows Mobile Smartphone 2003 and 2002
-- Motorola MPx200
-- Nokia 3650

-- Microsoft Xbox
-- Epson SC133 Family Platform
The devices showcase the following speech solutions:
Fonix VoiceDial -- A totally interactive, hands-free software application for Windows Mobile Pocket PC and Smartphone and Symbian devices, which enables users to access mobile phone contacts simply by speaking. With VoiceDial, there's no need to scroll through menus or push buttons; users just speak the name of the contact.
Fonix VoiceCentral 2.0 -- A hands-free software application for Windows Mobile Pocket PC and Smartphone that allows access to Personal Information Management (PIM) tools by speaking. VoiceCentral 2.0 incorporates the award winning Fonix VoiceDial software, while adding several other significant capabilities including voice access to email, calendars and tasks, and the ability to launch or close applications by speaking.

Fonix VoiceCentral 2.0 for Windows Mobile Pocket PC and Smartphone Devices Unveiled at 3GSM World Congress
Wednesday February 25, 3:00 am ET
Hands-free software provides a significant enhancement to the usability, safety and convenience of mobile devices.
SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 25, 2004-- Fonix® Corp. (OTC BB: FNIX - News), an international provider of leading speech interface solutions, will demonstrate our new version of Fonix VoiceCentral(TM) for mobile/wireless devices at 3GSM World Congress in Cannes, France, Feb. 23 - 26, Hall 1, Booth C23.
Fonix VoiceCentral 2.0 is a totally interactive, hands-free software application for Windows Mobile Pocket PC and Smartphone devices that enables users to access Personal Management Information (PIN) tools simply by speaking. VoiceCentral 2.0 incorporates our award-winning Fonix VoiceDial(TM) software, while adding several other significant capabilities.
The key to increasing the usability of mobile devices is to enable users to access pertinent information quickly and easily. Functions mobile devices users most need include dialing contacts, listening and responding to e-mail, and launching and closing applications. VoiceCentral 2.0 allows mobile devices users to do it all simply by speaking. Fonix's voice-enabled interface is convenient and safe (no need to push buttons or scroll through menus), and it's accurate even in noisy environments. VoiceCentral provides the perfect solution for mobile device users who are on the go and looking for ways to make their busy lives simpler.
VoiceCentral 2.0 is:
Speaker independent -- there's no voice training involved, so VoiceCentral is ready to use as soon as the software is loaded.
Highly accurate -- even in noisy environments like cars or airports, perfect for people on the go who want a better, safer and easier way to dial contacts and access e-mail and other information.
VoiceCentral 2.0 allows users to:
Manage e-mail -- Listen to e-mail, then choose to delete, reply with a .wav file or save.
Access calendar and tasks -- Listen to today's calendar and hear the most important tasks for the day.
Launch or close any application simple by speaking.
Dial names directly from the contact list -- no matter how many names are listed. We have tested it with over 2,000 contacts. And users don't have to navigate multiple menu trees; they just say the name of the person they want to call.
Dial a number directly using a continuous string of numbers -- no pausing or waiting for each digit.
"Fonix VoiceCentral greatly simplifies access to information on mobile devices," says Tim K. Hong, vice president, Fonix Mobile/Wireless. "This solution is a major leap forward for the mobile industry, providing customers with a convenient interface to multiple device functions. Once they use it, customers can't live without it."

Fonix Completes Acquisition of LecStar Telecom
Thursday February 26, 4:59 pm ET
Acquisition Provides Fonix with Substantial New Revenue and Distribution Channels for Its Speech Solutions
SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 26, 2004--Fonix® Corp. (OTC BB: FNIX - News), an industry leader in delivering conversational speech solutions to consumer systems and devices for everyday use, announced today that it has completed the acquisition of LTEL Holdings Corp. and its two wholly owned operating subsidiaries, LecStar Telecom Inc., an Atlanta-based competitive local exchange carrier, and its sister company, LecStar Datanet Inc., a provider of Internet services to business and residential customers. The all stock and debt transaction involves payment of consideration valued at $33 million.
ADVERTISEMENT
The LecStar acquisition significantly accelerates Fonix's growth strategy by providing a recurring revenue stream, a growing customer base and new marketing channels. LecStar's customer base -- which is growing at an annual rate of 60 percent -- will provide a predictable revenue stream and reduce Fonix's cost of capital.
LecStar's customers also offer a unique direct marketing and distribution channel for Fonix's speech technologies and solutions. This combination will give Fonix immediate access to LecStar's growing customer base, enabling Fonix to bundle its telephony and mobile/wireless speech interface solutions with LecStar's telecommunications services. In addition, LecStar's utility partnerships offer significant opportunities to expand Fonix's marketing channel.
"The acquisition of LecStar begins a compelling new chapter at Fonix," said Thomas A. Murdock, Fonix president and CEO. "This transaction significantly accelerates our ability to generate revenues and will help fund continued efforts in sales, market channel expansion and product development, which are key growth drivers in the evolving speech technology and solution industry. In addition, the acquisition will immediately enable Fonix to pursue strategic opportunities to acquire other local exchange carriers to further expand the existing customer base, providing Fonix with substantial additional value-added offerings and services to telephone customers."
"LecStar is very excited about the added benefits and services that this transaction makes available to our customers," said W. Dale Smith, LecStar Telecom president and CEO. "Our customers will continue to receive the same high level of service and support and, in addition, will have the opportunity to take advantage of proven, ready-to-use speech solutions. The stronger balance sheet and accelerated growth afforded by this transaction will be valuable to LecStar customers as well as our utility and channel partners. We look forward to leveraging Fonix's award-winning technology to introduce new advanced solutions to our customers and partners."
Roger D. Dudley, Fonix executive vice president and CFO, added, "LecStar is unique among its carrier peers: It has continued to grow its business throughout the downturn in the telecom industry. The result is a company with solid fundamentals, a growing customer base, robust service and product offerings, and a deep, talented management team with significant experience in the telecommunications industry. We expect this cashless transaction to be accretive to Fonix shareholders."
In addition to LecStar's stable and growing revenue, Fonix will continue to advance its market-leading position on Microsoft platforms such as Xbox®, PocketPC and SmartPhone mobile/wireless devices, and Symbian devices. Fonix will continue its integrated corporate collaborations with Electronic Arts, PlayStation®2, Motorola, Intel, Hitachi, Renesas, Oracle® and Seiko Epson.
LecStar will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Fonix and will retain its current management team. Financial statements will be consolidated beginning March 2004.

Fonix Completes Acquisition of LecStar Telecom
Thursday February 26, 4:59 pm ET
Acquisition Provides Fonix with Substantial New Revenue and Distribution Channels for Its Speech Solutions
SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 26, 2004--Fonix® Corp. (OTC BB: FNIX - News), an industry leader in delivering conversational speech solutions to consumer systems and devices for everyday use, announced today that it has completed the acquisition of LTEL Holdings Corp. and its two wholly owned operating subsidiaries, LecStar Telecom Inc., an Atlanta-based competitive local exchange carrier, and its sister company, LecStar Datanet Inc., a provider of Internet services to business and residential customers. The all stock and debt transaction involves payment of consideration valued at $33 million.

The LecStar acquisition significantly accelerates Fonix's growth strategy by providing a recurring revenue stream, a growing customer base and new marketing channels. LecStar's customer base -- which is growing at an annual rate of 60 percent -- will provide a predictable revenue stream and reduce Fonix's cost of capital.
LecStar's customers also offer a unique direct marketing and distribution channel for Fonix's speech technologies and solutions. This combination will give Fonix immediate access to LecStar's growing customer base, enabling Fonix to bundle its telephony and mobile/wireless speech interface solutions with LecStar's telecommunications services. In addition, LecStar's utility partnerships offer significant opportunities to expand Fonix's marketing channel.
"The acquisition of LecStar begins a compelling new chapter at Fonix," said Thomas A. Murdock, Fonix president and CEO. "This transaction significantly accelerates our ability to generate revenues and will help fund continued efforts in sales, market channel expansion and product development, which are key growth drivers in the evolving speech technology and solution industry. In addition, the acquisition will immediately enable Fonix to pursue strategic opportunities to acquire other local exchange carriers to further expand the existing customer base, providing Fonix with substantial additional value-added offerings and services to telephone customers."
"LecStar is very excited about the added benefits and services that this transaction makes available to our customers," said W. Dale Smith, LecStar Telecom president and CEO. "Our customers will continue to receive the same high level of service and support and, in addition, will have the opportunity to take advantage of proven, ready-to-use speech solutions. The stronger balance sheet and accelerated growth afforded by this transaction will be valuable to LecStar customers as well as our utility and channel partners. We look forward to leveraging Fonix's award-winning technology to introduce new advanced solutions to our customers and partners."
Roger D. Dudley, Fonix executive vice president and CFO, added, "LecStar is unique among its carrier peers: It has continued to grow its business throughout the downturn in the telecom industry. The result is a company with solid fundamentals, a growing customer base, robust service and product offerings, and a deep, talented management team with significant experience in the telecommunications industry. We expect this cashless transaction to be accretive to Fonix shareholders."
In addition to LecStar's stable and growing revenue, Fonix will continue to advance its market-leading position on Microsoft platforms such as Xbox®, PocketPC and SmartPhone mobile/wireless devices, and Symbian devices. Fonix will continue its integrated corporate collaborations with Electronic Arts, PlayStation®2, Motorola, Intel, Hitachi, Renesas, Oracle® and Seiko Epson.
LecStar will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Fonix and will retain its current management team. Financial statements will be consolidated beginning March 2004.

Fonix VoiceIn Available for PlayStation2 and PC Platforms
Tuesday March 16, 9:00 am ET
Fonix now offers award-winning voice command interface software, already available on the Xbox(R) developer's kit, to cross-platform game developers
SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 16, 2004-- Fonix® Corp. (OTC BB: FNIX - News), an industry leader in delivering conversational speech solutions to consumer systems and devices for everyday use, announces the availability of Fonix VoiceIn(TM), our unique voice interface software for cross-platform game developers wishing to employ voice command and control in games. This award-winning software has been available in the Microsoft Xbox® developer's kit (XDK) since February 2003, and now creators of cross-platform games can use the same voice solution for PlayStation®2 and PC games. Fonix VoiceIn for PlayStation®2 and PC platforms is available from Fonix. Call 801-553-6600 and say "Game Consoles" for pricing and delivery information.
Fonix VoiceIn's Cross-Platform Advantage
Game developers worldwide can now build games that utilize a common interface (API) across PlayStation®2 and PC platforms. Fonix VoiceIn is optimized for game development where memory and processing power are at a premium. Based on award-winning Fonix speech solutions, Fonix VoiceIn offers several compelling features:
Accurate with no voice training required: Game developers and players needn't spend any time training or preparing for voice recognition.
Easy to implement: The included tools and examples make it easy for developers to add voice recognition to games. No specific voice recognition expertise is required to implement the technology.
Memory optimization: A typical implementation requires less than 300k. As game developers continue to push the envelope creating innovative games, memory is one of the first limitations they encounter.
Minimal processor requirements: A typical implementation requires less than 9 percent of the system's processing power. With developers adding more functions, improving graphics and audio and providing gamers with more options, processing power is at a premium.
Cross-platform tools: Now game developers can save time and money by using the same tool set across multiple platforms.
Award-Winning Software
Fonix voice command software has been available in the Xbox® XDK since early 2003. The first two games using Fonix voice command based on the Xbox® video game system were released in October 2003. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3, published by Ubisoft, and SWAT: Global Strike Team, published by Vivendi Universal Games, have received rave reviews for implementing Fonix voice commands as a way to make the games more immersive and fun to play. In fact, Rainbow Six 3 won "Best Innovation" for Voice Control in the February awards issue of The Official Xbox Magazine.
Demand for Voice Command
"Fonix VoiceIn allows developers to take voice command and control to a new level," said Tim K. Hong, vice president, Fonix Mobile/Wireless and Games. Fonix speech technology gives players new access to game features, command and control functions and menu navigation. "Voice command for games is a compelling feature for today's gamers," said Hong. "They want the added excitement, interaction and realism that voice interfaces provide."
Electronic Arts, the world's largest game developer, has also licensed the Fonix voice platform for their game developers worldwide. EA signed a multiple-year license agreement with Fonix for PlayStation®2 entertainment consoles and has an option to license Fonix speech solutions for additional game platforms.
Fonix VoiceIn is available to game developers in multiple languages, including English and U.K. English, German, French, Spanish and Japanese. Additional languages, specifically Italian and Korean, will be available mid-2004.
Game developers interested in implementing Fonix VoiceIn in PlayStation®2, Xbox® and PC games should call 801-553-6600 and say "Game Consoles." Fonix sales and development representatives are available to meet developers attending the Game Developers Conference in San Jose, Calif., March 22-26. Interested developers should call Fonix to arrange business and technical discussions in Suite 926, Hilton San Jose Towers.
