Real-time Financial and Sports News Round Out Companies' Wireless Information Offering
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 20, 1999-- Datalink.net (Stock Symbol NETD), a Silicon Valley Internet
company, announced today that it has launched six new wireless information services specifically for SkyTel advanced
messaging pager customers.
The new services are the next step in the Datalink.net/SkyTel marketing partnership that was announced in July 1998, and
include a free sampler service that customers can try for 45 days.
The newest offerings include a variety of free and fee-based services including ''While You Were Sleeping'' Asian market
updates, real-time commodity quotes, sports scores and news, company news, local weather, ski reports, horoscopes and
other lifestyle information services delivered to SkyTel pagers.
These services join the real-time stock quote services introduced last summer. In addition, the new InfoSampler service lets
customers try out a variety of these services free of charge.
These new products marry the Internet to SkyTel's wireless messaging devices. With these services, customers use the Internet
to specify information that is of interest to them and have it sent directly to their pagers, as it happens. To sign up for the free
InfoSampler service, or the premium subscription services, customers simply go to www.datalink.net/skytel and follow the
on-screen instructions.
''Datalink is very excited about expanding more of our Web-to-wireless information services to SkyTel's customers,''
commented Datalink.net chairman and CEO Anthony LaPine. ''Our premium information services, together with SkyTel's
advanced messaging network, offer the most comprehensive and reliable wireless information source available today.''
''Customers want information on their messaging devices, but they only want the information that is of particular interest to
them,'' said John T. Stupka, SkyTel president and CEO.
''The more we can tailor information to individual interests, the more valuable our messaging products are to our customers. It's
like getting a newspaper that only has the sections you actually read. We look forward to offering even more content choices in
the future.''
Datalink.net, a Silicon Valley Internet company, uses patented technology to provide mobile people with personalized
information content sent to their wireless devices, such as pagers, PCS phones and Palm Pilots.

e-commerce Web site. Datalink.net, recently rated the number one choice for wireless financial information services by

DataLink Offers Free 45-Day Trial of Premium
Internet-to-Wireless Information Services
The Web Meets Wireless for Info-to-GoSM Services
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 11, 1999--Datalink Systems Corporation, (OTC Bulletin Board:NETD -
news), providing a unique blend of Internet-based wireless information services, announced today the introduction of its free,
45-day sampler of premium financial, sports, news, weather and lifestyle services to any wireless device.
The free InfoSampler(SM) service is a selection from DataLink's real-time products: QuoteXpress®, CompanyNewsX(SM),
Sports2Go(SM) and InfoXtra(SM). InfoSampler includes real-time stock quotes, alerts on public company news, sporting
event coverage -- even during the game, plus news headlines, weather forecasts, ski & beach conditions, winning lotto
numbers, horoscopes and even the top 10 weekly video rentals. All information is delivered to a pager or PCS mobile phone.
Subscribers use DataLink's Internet site to setup and customize both the type of information they want and when they want to
receive it. DataLink uses it own patented, intelligent agent, Web-to-Wireless™ technology, to monitor and filter numerous
electronic feeds for the information the subscriber wants. DataLink then transmits the information to the subscriber's PCS
phone or alphanumeric pager through their existing service provider in real-time.
Free trial subscriptions are available to customers of virtually any wireless company in the U.S. and Canada. Wireless
subscribers can sign up for the free service at Datalink's web site, www.datalink.net. The service will also be distributed
through DataLink's channel partners, such as SkyTel Communications of Jackson, Mississippi, and through its new retail
reseller program.
Signing up for InfoSampler is simple using DataLink's intuitive Web site and the process can be completed in a few minutes.
Users can begin receiving custom tailored real-time financial alerts, world news headlines and stories, real-time sports coverage
and a range of other services in no time.
''Serious stock investors want to know if their investments are rising, falling, splitting - and any relevant news about the stocks,''
said Anthony LaPine, DataLink president and CEO. ''News and entertainment is also important to many who lack the time to
hunt through newspapers, listen to the radio or surf the Internet to find it,'' LaPine said. DataLink delivers personalized news,
local weather and even the daily horoscope and winning lottery numbers directly to a subscriber's alphanumeric pager or PCS
phone. ''This is not an 'information dump.' Our customers know what information they want, as well as when they want it, and
that's how we give it to them,'' LaPine said.
DataLink also provides a free wireless messaging service. Anyone with Internet access can send messages to pager and PCS
phone consumers who are registered MessageX subscribers. Phone and pager users register at www.messageX.com.
DataLink will be offering the free MessageX service to Internet companies such as search engines and Internet Service
Providers, and wireless service providers as a value-added service. DataLink is working with numerous partners to customize
