Exhibit 99.1
 

WIRELESS AGE - APPOINTMENT OF NEW DIRECTORS

TORONTO, ONTARIO August 24, 2006 - Wireless Age Communications, Inc. (OTCBB:WLSA), a leading supplier of solutions to the Canadian wireless communications industry, announced today two newly appointed members of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Effective August 24, 2006, Mr. David Valliere and Mr. Glenn Poulos have been appointed as directors. Mr. Valliere will be considered an independent director. Mr. Glenn Poulos is President of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, mmwave Technologies Inc., and will therefore be considered an executive director.

Mr. Glenn Poulos, is a substantial shareholder of the Company, and the brother of Mr. Brad Poulos, is a seasoned wireless and telecommunications executive with over 15 years experience in such capacity. Mr. David Valliere, is currently an Associate Professor at the School of Business Management, Ryerson University and has served in several senior management and executive roles over the last 19 years with the Canadian banking industry, telecommunications and venture capital.

Mr. Brad Poulos, Chairman, President and CEO commented; “I would like to welcome David and Glenn to the Board of Directors, their appointments will satisfy our requirement to replace two departed directors earlier this year. Glenn through his operational responsibilities at mmwave will provide the Board with an additional dimension of knowledge as we aggressively grow that business unit. David’s vast business and academic experience and contacts will also make a substantial contribution to our Board.”

“I’d also like to assure everyone; we are working on a state of the nation address for the Agoracom website. In order to do justice to the task, I’ve asked all business unit executives to provide me with additional knowledge of their respective operations and thoughts as to our performance for the remainder of fiscal 2006. It’s going to take a little longer than anticipated. Meanwhile, I can comment that post-closing of the Barron financing in early August, operating levels have increased dramatically especially in the commercial business segment. August is shaping up to be an exceptional month. Our efforts arising from the new Vancouver regional operations centre are ramping up, we’ve received an indication of what is expected of us under the new contract and we expect to meet all operating plans in that area.”
