SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 20, 2001

AT&T "Digital PocketNet" Subscribers Now Have Access

to Virtually All of Amazon's Catalog and Can Purchase with

Just "1-Click Technology"

Global online retailer Amazon.com (Nasdaq:AMZN) recently launched a new alliance with AT&T Wireless (NYSE:AWE), giving all AT&T Digital PocketNet(R) customers access to Amazon.com's wireless website via their Internet-ready wireless phones.

The service utilizes Amazon's proprietary technology and Amazon Anywhere platform, which incorporates many of Amazon.com's patented features, such as 1-Click(TM) Technology ordering, Recommendations, Customers Reviews and All Product Search. With this agreement Amazon Anywhere now has global alliances with 12 mobile phone carriers and service providers worldwide. Earlier this year, it announced wireless i-mode access of its Japanese site, www.amazon.co.jp.

"By accessing virtually all of our catalog via their mobile devices, AT&T Wireless' mobile Internet customers will be able to shop with Amazon.com more conveniently and with greater ease than ever before," said Robert Frederick, Manager, Amazon Anywhere. "Over the past two years, we have been hard at work developing the best mobile commerce platform tailored to meet our customers' changing needs."

Using their wireless Internet-ready phones, AT&T Digital PocketNet customers can now purchase from nearly all of Amazon's stores, including Books, Music, Video, DVD, Electronics, Kitchen and Housewares and Outdoor Living.

"Adding Amazon.com to the shopping platform of AT&T Digital PocketNet service is a huge plus for our customers. Now they can access well-known Amazon.com features, such as 1-Click Technology ordering and personal Recommendations, making the service even easier to use," says Kris Cone, director of business development for AT&T Wireless. "Amazon.com's focus on customer-friendly features and services parallels our own commitment to driving mobile commerce forward as we move to more advanced wireless services."

AT&T Digital PocketNet customers will also be able to access Amazon's Wish List and Listmania features. Wish List makes gift giving (and receiving) a snap, by ensuring that the gift a customer orders is exactly what the recipients wants, while Listmania allows customers the ability to share their favorite items for other customers to discover and enjoy. Customers will also be able to search and buy fixed-price products from trusted retailers and independent third-party sellers using Amazon's 1-Click Technology and Payments services.
