Teletouch Completes Passport Radio Network for DFW, North and East Texas Regions

Teletouch Communications, Inc. (AMEX: TLL) announced
today that it recently completed installation of its
Passport(R)-enabled two-way Logic Trunked Radio or "LTR" network in
the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex area and surrounding regions. As a
result of the recent network completion, Teletouch's Two-Way Systems
sales group has already begun adding new Metroplex customers to the
Passport-enabled network.
   "Our new Passport network service provides Teletouch two-way radio
customers with cellular phone-type coverage, but at much more
competitive pricing for the dispatch services many companies require,"
stated T.A. "Kip" Hyde, Jr., Teletouch CEO. "We believe that our
combination of outstanding service, price and network coverage have
been instrumental in attracting companies recently signed for the new
Passport service."
   Passport-enabled radios feature a form of "follow-me roaming,"
similar to the automatic handoff of signals from tower-to-tower
characteristic of cellular radio systems. The LTR radio service
includes voice, data and voice mail capabilities. Teletouch's two-way
radio network covers territory from approximately the Louisiana state
line to the western edge of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and south
toward the Houston metro-area. For many users, two-way radio and LTR
systems can be a significant cost-reducing communications alternative
to cellular service, due to its cost-free multi-point dispatch
capability and unlimited airtime for a fixed monthly fee versus
"per-minute" and "per-user" cellular charges.
