NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 1, 2000--
GTMI Subsidiary Bentleytel.com Executes Marketing Agreement With
Data Exchange Inc. for Exclusivity in the Pacific Rim Countries
As Well As China And Japan And Joint Marketing For North America
Global TeleMedia International, Inc. (OTC: BB: GTMI) announced
today that it had completed negotiations with Data Exchange Inc. for a
marketing agreement for its Message Pilot(TM) product which includes
exclusive retail marketing rights for North America. The agreement
clears the way for BentleyTel to develop a marketing campaign for the
launch of MessagePilot(TM) into its existing VPN network commencing
with its existing network clients in Australia and rapidly being
available in North America.
Ken Heffner, President of Data Exchange, said, "We are extremely
pleased with the speed at which the BentleyTel labs in Australia and
our labs here in Richardson, Texas are accomplishing the task of
merging the final operating systems. We are confident in our ability
to begin our beta test within approximately 45 days."
John Walsh, Chief Operating Officer of GTMI, said, "In providing
MessagePilot(TM), as part of the low monthly BentleyTel Proprietary
SmartCard membership, we can keep you in touch with all past and
present modes of communications. MessagePilotTM is a truly unique
International Integrated Messaging System which could serve millions
of BentleyTel members traveling or working in the USA or in over 100
countries where BentleyTel.com has network Access."
Ken Heffner continued, "The Beauty of MessagePilotTM is that you
can change your ISP provider, your cell phone, your pager or your home
telephone number and MessagePilot will still deliver you e-mail,
voice-mail, pager messages and phone messages from your previous
service. You need never worry about advising your clients or friends
of your change of access numbers or if you are assigned or travel
overseas for months or years, you can still get messages -- 24 hours a
day -- from your home, office, and US-based hardware.
"The system is designed so that if you are unhappy with your
current provider for any form of communications, you need no longer be
afraid to change because you will lose your contacts.
"Telecom has evolved from a hardware-based industry to an
industry dominated by software communications and connectivity
solutions. The MessagePilotTM system represents a milestone in
technology as it can be installed as an operating system in new PCs or
as a free downloadable installation that does not require the user to
purchase any additional hardware and, in fact, can allow the user
international freedom of movement -- never losing touch with their
family, friends or office.
"You can upgrade your ISP, phone, PalmPilot(TM), and pager to new
system providers or models and still get your messages without
interruption or the need to print new business cards, stationary. This
is a tremendous benefit for new e-commerce vendors and small business
that have to be responsive to change of market or product. BentleyTel
and MessagePilot will keep you in touch."
