                             T/AWE EXCHANGE OFFER:
                      MATCHING YOUR INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES

                   AN INFORMATION GUIDE FOR AT&T SHAREOWNERS

[inside copy]

Dear Fellow AT&T Shareowner:

     This is an exciting time for AT&T, as we restructure our organization and
prepare to launch a new generation of communications and information services.

     For shareowners, it's also a time of opportunity, allowing you to consider
how to best focus your investment in AT&T for the future. This information guide
and the enclosed offering circular/prospectus describes one opportunity that I
know will be of interest to some of you -- to exchange current shares in AT&T
for shares in the AT&T Wireless Group tracking stock.

     Is making this exchange a smart decision for you? There's no single "right"
answer. It depends on your investment objectives; which will differ from
shareowner to shareowner.

     What I hope we can do, however, is help you make an informed choice. The
enclosed materials describe this offer in detail, and are designed to answer the
most frequently asked questions. I encourage you to review them carefully, and
make a decision that's right for you.

     Over the next several months, we will be keeping you updated as we move
through each stage of implementing our plans for the new AT&T.

     Once again, thank you for your support and for your continuing investment.

                                          Sincerely,

                                          C. Michael Armstrong
                                          Chairman and CEO

P.S. Please note that this exchange is a limited-time opportunity. If you choose
to participate, you should act quickly to ensure that your form in received by
[DATE].

                         DECIDING WHAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU

     On October 25, 2000, AT&T announced plans to offer current AT&T shareowners
the opportunity to exchange shares of AT&T common stock (stock symbol "T") for
the AT&T Wireless Group tracking stock (stock symbol "'AWE").

     Is making this exchange a good idea for you? While AT&T can't choose for
you, we can explain some of the risks and opportunities involved with each
decision. We strongly encourage you to read the enclosed documents and to seek
the counsel of an investment advisor if you aren't sure what decision is best
for you.

     At the same time, while there are risks in any investment, such as in the
development of AT&T's wireless operations (many of which are highlighted on
pages xx-xx of the offering circular/prospectus), some shareowners may determine
that an investment in the AT&T Wireless Group fits their personal investment
strategies. This is an opportunity for those shareowners to exchange their
current shares in AT&T common stock for shares in the AT&T Wireless Group
tracking stock, without tax consequences to investors who have an unrealized
gain on their shares of AT&T common stock.

     Whatever your decision, our primary concern is that you have the
opportunity to select what's right for you. Please review the enclosed materials
and let us know your choice by returning the Exchange Form in the enclosed
pre-addressed envelope.

     In addition, while AT&T cannot offer financial advice, we can answer
questions regarding the specific terms of this offer; please call toll-free
1-877-xxx-xxxx Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern time.

[ ] Make your decision on how many -- if any -- AT&T shares you would like to
    exchange for AWE. Remember that you do not have to exchange all of your
    shares to participate -- this is completely voluntary, and you can choose to
    exchange none, some, or all of your shares. If you're not sure what to do,
    talk to a financial advisor.

[ ] Complete and sign the enclosed Letter of Transmittal and other required
    documents in blue or black ink.

    stock certificates (if applicable) in the enclosed envelope so that it is

    this exchange.

    statement detailing your new shareholdings.
