CT Communications Offers Free Incoming Local Calls to New DCS Wireless Customers.

CONCORD, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 19, 1998--Beginning October 18, 1998, and ending January 17, 1999, CT Communications, Inc. (OTC BB:CNOTB), (CTC) will run a promotion that offers free unlimited local incoming calls to its new DCS Wireless customers.

While some companies give customers the first minute free, CTC will not charge for any incoming local calls, regardless of the length of the call or the number of calls. New customers must make an 11-month commitment to using the service. Existing customers may take advantage of this promotion by making the same 11-month commitment, paying a one-time charge of $25, and converting to one of the Standard DCS Rate Plans.

Says Nicholas L. Kottyan, Senior Vice President, "I believe we're one of the first wireless DCS providers to have this type of offer. We're excited that we can give our customers this type of value for their money."

The promotion does not apply to calls received outside the local mobile calling area. For example, a DCS customer with service in the Charlotte local mobile calling area (which includes Cabarrus, Rowan, and Stanly Counties) is traveling in Greensboro and receives a call from the Charlotte area. This is not considered a local call and would not be free. Also, this offer does not apply to calls received when roaming outside of the BellSouth DCS territory.

CT Communications, Inc., headquartered in Concord, NC, provides a full array of integrated telecommunications services to both residential and business customers. Offerings include local and long distance, digital wireless phones, paging, Internet, data services, and business telephone systems. CTC's largest subsidiary, Concord Telephone Company, is the 22nd largest telephone company in the United States.
