AT&T Volunteers Tutor Senior Citizens on How to Text Grandkids and More at

                   a Series of Free Educational Seminars



    ROCHESTER, N.Y., Aug. 6 /EMWNews/ -- AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T)

and OASIS announced today the launch of a new public service initiative

designed to benefit Rochester's mature adult population. This Friday, AT&T

volunteers will hold one-on-one tutoring sessions with nearly 100 OASIS

members from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. at Monroe Community Hospital, in Rochester.



    "Our membership has responded very enthusiastically to this program,

telling us there is a clear need for cell phone education," said Priscilla

Minster, director of the Rochester OASIS chapter. "For safety reasons, it

is critical that our members are able to operate their mobile phones.

AT&T's free seminar is a unique opportunity for seniors to receive

one-on-one help -- and ultimately walk away feeling more comfortable with

the technology."



    "Cell Phones for Seniors is a great program which will help a number of

seniors in the community understand how to properly operate a cell phone,"

said Senator Jim Alesi (R-Perinton). "OASIS has a solid reputation for

assisting seniors within our community through a number of volunteer

efforts and I will continue to support their work."



    Participants are encouraged to bring their mobile phones, regardless of

which wireless carrier they currently use. AT&T will also have free

"practice" phones on-site. The session will cover everything from mobile

phone basics, such as controlling the volume on your phone, to checking

voice mail to storing a number in the phone's address book. Seniors can

also learn about AT&T's Hearing Aid Compatible (HAC) options as well as how

to send text messages and share pictures on their phones. AT&T volunteers

will provide hands-on demonstrations and one-on-one instructional support.



    While the Rochester event with OASIS is currently full, AT&T has plans

to expand the Cell Phones for Seniors program to other areas of New York in

the coming months.
