MILWAUKEE (May 27, 2004) – SBC Communications Inc. (NYSE: SBC) today announced that more SBC customers will now be eligible to receive SBC Yahoo! DSL Express for only $26.95 a month and SBC Yahoo! DSL Pro for only $36.99, the lowest prices available for these services (Other monthly charges apply. See below.).

SBC Yahoo! DSL Express was previously available for $26.95 a month only to consumers who subscribed to SBC Total Connections (a service bundle including local, long distance, Internet and wireless), ordered online, or signed up at select retail locations. Now, new SBC Yahoo! DSL residential customers who subscribe by June 30 to any SBC Connections service package with a one year term commitment qualify for the $26.95 monthly rate. A typical SBC Connections plan consists of local service, long distance, and a package of call management features.
SBC Yahoo! DSL Express provides super-fast Internet access with download speeds of 384 Kbps – 1.5 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 256 Kbps.
New residential customers who order before June 30 without an SBC Connections bundle can receive SBC Yahoo! DSL Express for only $29.95 a month with a one year term commitment.

For customers who need more speed, SBC Yahoo! DSL Pro offers the ideal high-speed connection to the Internet. As part of the summer price promotion, SBC Yahoo! DSL Pro, with guaranteed download speeds of 1.5 – 3.0 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 384 Kbps, is available for only $36.99 a month for new residential customers who subscribe to any SBC bundle of services (Other monthly charges apply, see below). The service also is available to new customers who order online with a one year term commitment. SBC Yahoo!

Adding even more savings, beginning June 1, new SBC Yahoo! DSL Express customers can receive 50 free digital music downloads from MusicNow LLC, a leading online music store and service.

The free music download promotion is available through July 31 when ordered at www.sbc.com/freemusic or by calling 888-722-4737 and requesting the offer (Hours of operation: 7 a.m. – 9 p.m. Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Saturday).

New customers can also experience the benefits of wireless Internet connections with dramatically reduced pricing for SBC wireless (Wi-Fi) home networking gateways, priced at just $50 after a $99 instant rebate.
