BellSouth Wireless Data Adds Personalized Information Services to Its BellSouth Interactive Paging Service.

WOODBRIDGE, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 25, 1999--

Initiatives Part of Company's Strategy to Continually Expand

Services and Functionality of the

Nation's Leading Interactive Paging Service

Beginning today, BellSouth Interactive Paging(SM) service subscribers can get Internet-based personalized news and lifestyle information services on-demand - the next step in a comprehensive strategy to provide customers with the information they want and how they want it.

As the result of a partnership with Datalink.net (OTC: NETD: www.datalink.net), a Silicon Valley Internet company, all BellSouth Interactive Paging service subscribers are now able to receive personalized information such as e-mail alerts, stock quotes, company information, weather reports, sports scores and more via the RIM Inter@ctive(tm) Pager 950, a palm sized, wearable device with a full keyboard. Through a link at the BellSouth Wireless Data Web site, www.bellsouthwd.com/infosvcs.html, subscribers can build their own customized content portfolio from Datalink.net's extensive array of information offerings, including its wireless financial information services that have been rated number one by SmartMoney Magazine.

"The introduction of Datalink.net's award-winning services represents the beginning of what will be a wide spectrum of information services that are tailored to the needs of the marketplace," said Jim Kelly, vice president of Interactive Paging for BellSouth Wireless Data. "Our agreement with Datalink.net underscores our strategy to partner with companies that offer solutions to get important, focused information to people on the go."

Fidelity Investments(R) was the first brokerage company to offer information services in conjunction with the BellSouth Interactive Paging service. The InstantBroker(SM) wireless financial information and trading service was introduced in January for Fidelity's active traders who also subscribe to the Interactive Paging service. The agreement with Datalink.net now brings a broad array of information services to all BellSouth Interactive Paging service subscribers. BellSouth Wireless Data expects to announce agreements with additional information services providers over the next several months.

"As the first to champion the new interactive marketplace," Kelly noted, "BellSouth Wireless Data will continue to lead the way as it brings Interactive Paging service customers the next level of information services. Whether they are members of work groups, mobile professionals or general consumers, the BellSouth Interactive Paging service is the ideal medium for subscribers to get the information that is important to them when they are on the go."

Introduced in September 1998, the BellSouth Interactive Paging service was the first to offer the ability to initiate and respond to messages in seconds via Internet e-mail and other pagers, and send messages to fax machines and telephones. The Interactive Paging service also offers four levels of operator service ranging from standard operator-assisted text messaging to the premium OneConnect(tm) Service, a virtual personal communications center. The BellSouth Interactive Paging service was a winner of the prestigious 1999 Mobility Award from Mobile Insights as the top software/service in the Wireless category.

BellSouth Interactive Paging service customers who register for Datalink.net services will incur an additional, separate charge from Datalink.net for the services they subscribe to. Datalink.net service offerings begin as low as $2.95 per month, depending on offering.
