Exhibit 99.1

BRIGHTPOINT AMENDS NORTH AMERICA CREDIT FACILITY

Plainfield, Indiana - March 22, 2004 - Brightpoint, Inc. (NASDAQ: CELL) today
announced that its North America subsidiaries, Brightpoint North America L.P.
and Wireless Fulfillment Services LLC (collectively, the "Companies"), have
amended their revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders led by GE
Commercial Finance (the "Revolver"). Under its terms, as amended, the Revolver
matures in March 2007 and provides borrowing availability, subject to borrowing
base calculations and other limitations, of $70 million. Other features of the
Revolver are as follows:

         -        Pricing has been decreased to reflect the Companies' improved
                  financial performance

         -        Revolver allows Brightpoint, Inc. increased flexibility in
                  accessing capital generated by the Companies

The Revolver is guaranteed by Brightpoint, Inc. and is secured by all of the
Companies' assets in North America and borrowing availability under the Revolver
is based primarily on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and
inventory. The terms of the Revolver include negative covenants that, among
other things, limit the Companies' ability to sell certain assets and make
certain payments, including but not limited to, dividends, repurchases of common
stock and other payments outside the normal course of business. The terms of the
Revolver do not prohibit the subsidiaries of Brightpoint, Inc. located outside
of North America from incurring additional indebtedness.

"With regards to lenders, I look for flexibility, speed, listening, business
sense, and a global presence," said Frank Terence, Brightpoint's Chief Financial
Officer. "GE's Corporate Lending team has demonstrated these characteristics
which make them a good fit for Brightpoint. This amendment provides us added
flexibility in pursuing our growth strategy."

"Since the inception of this facility in 2001, Brightpoint has notably
strengthened its balance sheet and delivered upon its business model," said Mark
Jacobs, Senior Vice President, GE Commercial Finance/Corporate Lending. "We are
proud to play a role in Brightpoint's future."
