Interactive Features and Expert Tips Make it Easier and More Convenient to Access AOL Services From Mobile Phones and Other Devices

America Online, Inc. (NYSE:AOL), the world's leading interactive services company, today announced the launch of a one-stop shopping and content area for consumers to purchase wireless products and services. Now available for members at AOL Keyword: Wireless and on the Internet at www.aol.com/wireless, this new online resource makes it easy for everyone to find a phone and service plan that best meets their needs. In addition, AOL members will find tips about how to access popular AOL features while away from their computers, and to purchase other AOL Anywhere products and services.

"AOL is committed to making it as easy as possible for consumers to use their favorite AOL features and services in the wireless environment," said Lisa Hook, President of AOL Anywhere. "We know that 69% of AOL members own a cell phone or pager, and Keyword: Wireless gives them a resource to understand how to access popular AOL features such as e-mail and instant messaging on Internet-enabled phones and other wireless devices. The new area also provides a convenient and friendly way for people who don't have wireless devices to learn what's available in the marketplace and make secure purchases."

"In addition to providing consumers with extra value, the new Keyword: Wireless area will bring our partners added benefits as well. Not only will it enable them to sell phones, content and special applications that reside on the destination, it also will help them reach their target markets efficiently and to educate consumers about how to take advantage of the features available to them on Internet-enabled phones," said Jenna Fiorito, Vice President and GM, AOL Anywhere.
