of<br>
its Form 10-Q for the First Quarter of 2006</font></b></h3>

<h3 align="center" style="font-weight:normal;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:center;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></h3>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">ALAMEDA, Calif., May 18, 2006 - UTStarcom,
Inc. (Nasdaq: UTSI), today announced that, as expected, the Company has
received an additional Nasdaq Staff Determination Notice stating that the
Company has failed to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended March 31, 2006 (the &#147;Q1 2006 Form 10-Q&#148;) and, therefore, is not in
compliance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c) (14). As previously disclosed, Nasdaq
initially informed the Company on March 20, 2006 that its securities would be
delisted for failure to timely file its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2005 (the &#147;2005 Form 10-K&#148;), unless the Company requested a
hearing in accordance with applicable Nasdaq Marketplace rules. The Company
subsequently requested and was granted a hearing with the Nasdaq Listing
Qualifications Panel (the &#147;Listing Panel&#148;) on April 20, 2006. On May 10, 2006,
the Listing Panel granted a conditional extension to the Company&#146;s request for
continued listing on the Nasdaq National Market until June 15, 2006 for the
Company to make its requisite filings. This extension granted by the Listing
Panel expressly contemplated the delayed filing of the Q1 2006 Form 10-Q.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As previously announced, the delay in filing
the 2005 Form 10-K is due to the Company needing additional time (i) to enable
the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company to complete an
investigation with regard to the circumstances surrounding the premature
recognition of revenue on a contract with a customer in India and certain other
transactions and (ii) for management to complete the preparation of its 2005
consolidated financial statements and its assessment as of December 31, 2005 of
the Company&#146;s&#160; internal control over
financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The
Company currently anticipates filing the 2005 Form 10-K on or about June 1,
2006 and the Q1 2006 10-Q on or about June 15, 2006.</font></p>
