it is extending the private  exchange offer and consent  solicitation to holders
of 13-1/2% Senior Subordinated  Discount Notes due 2006, or the "Old Notes", who
are not  U.S.  persons,  or who are U.S.  persons  that  are  either  "qualified
institutional buyers" or "institutional  accredited investors" (as each of those
terms are defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and who can make
the  representations  to exchange,  upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in the private offering documents,  until 5:00 p.m. New York City time

acceptance to the exchange offer and consent  solicitation  shall continue until
the new  expiration  date in accordance  with the terms of the private  offering
documents.

This press  release is neither an offer to  purchase  nor a  solicitation  of an
offer to sell  Millicom's  securities and is not being made to, nor will tenders
be accepted from, or on behalf of, holders of Old Notes in any  jurisdiction  in
which  the  making of the  exchange  offers  and  consent  solicitations  or the

jurisdiction.
