Newton, Mass. - June 19, 2000 - Linx Communications, Inc., a leading communications Application Service Provider (ASP) delivering unified communications and messaging services to businesses and individuals, today announced the availability of free personal toll-free numbers for wireless phone subscribers. This service allows mobile phone users' important contacts, clients and family members to easily reach them at no cost to the caller.

Linx is initially offering this program through its two largest New York area consumer electronics retail partners - Datavision and WaveNET as well as their subagents throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Long Island, and New Jersey. Linx plans to expand this offer to other wireless partners. For the first six months, the $1.95 monthly charge will be waived and there is no set-up fee; usage fees are $0.10 cents per minute.

The free personal toll-free number offer is ideally suited for a variety of users, including:

• Mobile Professionals: Clients, customers and partners can easily call sales associates, customer service reps with simplicity and at no cost to themselves
  
• SOHO: Companies can cost-effectively present a professional image with clients
  
• Families: Can be used for emergency situations for parents, children and friends to stay connected
  

"There is a tremendous benefit in being able to offer important contacts - customers, clients, colleagues, and family - the convenience and value of a toll-free number," said Jeff Schlueter, Linx' vice president of marketing and product development. "As people increasingly rely on their mobile phones, it becomes more important to maintain a professional image while also making it easier to be reached."

Linx Services
As an ASP, Linx offers outsourced communications and messaging services to individuals, small businesses and corporations. This enables companies to take advantage of the most advanced messaging solutions without incurring the capital costs of maintaining internal systems and equipment. Linx markets a suite of easy-to-use, subscription-based web-enabled communications services that give on-the-go people complete control over their phone calls, faxes and messages at any time, from any location. Linx services save time and money while eliminating the frustration of "telephone tag."

Linx services include LinxConnect™, a powerful, web-enabled one-number service that streamlines multiple communications tools (voice, wireless, messaging, fax) into a single local or toll-free number. By combining disparate devices into a single number, LinxConnect makes users more reachable and accessible while allowing them to better prioritize important calls and messages. LinxConnect features LinxWeb™, a robust personal communications web portal that allows users to listen to voice messages, view faxes, manage communications, and initiate real-time call connection via the web.

Linx also offers LinxOffice™, a flexible "virtual office phone system," fee-based service that can be customized to meet a company's specific communications requirements. With LinxOffice, businesses enjoy the benefits of a comprehensive office phone system without the hardware and maintenance costs typically associated with a PBX system.

Linx' national network currently includes local points of presence (POPs) in Boston, Los Angeles, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, San Francisco, and Washington, DC. Linx is expanding its POPs with plans to cover the top thirty major metropolitan areas this year. Linx services can be ordered by calling 888-FOR-LINX or by visiting www.linxcom.com.
