Mexico City, April 20, 2004 - Grupo Iusacell, S.A. de C.V., [BMV: CEL, NYSE:

certain holders of the Senior Notes due 2004 against its principal subsidiary,
Grupo Iusacell Celular, S.A. de C.V. ("Iusacell Celular") and others, alleging
breach of the Senior Note Indenture, that Iusacell Celular moved to dismiss the
portion of the complaint that requested that the Court declare that the holders
are entitled to the benefit of liens senior to or at least equal in priority to
liens held by other creditors.
In response to the motion to dismiss, the holders filed an amended complaint and
are now also are seeking injunctive relief barring Iusacell Celular from
selling, transferring or otherwise encumbering the assets pending decision on
the merits of their claim for specific performance. The time in which to respond

Iusacell Celular will respond to the amended complaint and request for
injunctive relief in due course.
