DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 18, 2000--GETGO Mail.com, Inc. (the
"Company")(Nasdaq: GTGO - news) today announced an agreement with Visual Access
Technologies for a merger that will be executed via their subsidiary
enterprises, to form a new company to be known as "MobilEntity, Inc." The merger
combines GETGO's unified messaging products and services with certain patents
and intellectual properties of Visual Access. Final execution of the merger is
contingent on certain business and financial requirements being satisfied. Paul
G. Lewis will become the President and CEO of MobilEntity, Inc.
"This merger allows us to gain complete ownership of various patents in the
Unified Messaging arena as well as in the field of cellular phones and other
wireless products capable of remote interactive retrieval," stated Paul Lewis,
President and CEO of GETGO Mail.com USA, Inc. "This will provide added market
strength and flexibility for our unified messaging card as well as several other
products currently in development. I am truly excited about the unique market
position of MobilEntity, Inc."
"As chairman of Visual Access, I look forward to the business opportunities that
will emanate from the merger of our company with MobilEntity," said Judah
Klausner. "I believe that the combined new company, which is to take the name
MobilEntity, will be well positioned to take advantage of the present trend
towards personal mobile wireless Internet data access and communications."
Judah Klausner founded Visual Access Technologies, Inc. and C-Voice, Inc. to
develop technology and file related patents in the mobile communications field.
Mr. Klausner is the inventor of the original hand-held electronic organizer. He
licensed his technology to companies such as Sharp, Casio and Toshiba. Organizer
products manufactured under his patent licenses include the Sharp Wizard, Casio
Databank as well as products sold under Sony, Toshiba, Radio Shack, Rolodex, and
other brands.
"By formally embedding this intellectual property into our enterprise, we
continue to reinforce the value proposition of our unified messaging products
and services," said Dr. Derrin Smith, Chairman and CEO of GETGO's worldwide
operations since July. "This also creates a platform to extend our enhanced
communications business vertical."
MobilEntity is the first technology enterprise to reach critical mass under the
communications vertical of GETGO's "I.C.E." (Information, Communications,
Entertainment) REVELATOR model, wherein GETGO is the technology operating
company creating broadband products and services from intellectual properties.
GETGO is preparing the required SEC registration statement to affect the
successful spin-off of MobilEntity and will retain a significant equity interest
post-divestiture, while concurrently developing additional technology
<PAGE>
enterprises. Embedding the associated patents adds significant value to the
venture on a going-forward basis, enabling a broader range of related products
and services.
Under the terms of the agreement, GETGO Mail.com USA, Inc. has agreed to merge
its wholly owned subsidiary, MobilEntity, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with
Visual Access Corporation. Visual Access Corporation is a newly formed Delaware
corporation owned by Visual Access Technologies, Inc. and C-Voice, Inc. The
merger is intended to occur simultaneously with the planned spin-off of
MobilEntity, Inc. to the parent company's public shareholders. Following the
merger and spin-off, MobilEntity, Inc., will hold all of GetgoMail.com USA's
technology related to Unified Messaging, and intends to register its shares for
NASDAQ listing. The merger agreement is contingent upon various conditions
including additional financing, and will be executed in phases. Further, the
merger agreement provides that the Visual Access Corporation Shareholders and
GETGO Mail.com, Inc. will each own 50% of MobilEntity's shares of common stock
before additional shares are issued in connection with the financing of
MobilEntity.

GETGO MAIL.COM ENHANCES ASIAN OPERATIONS
DENVER, September 27, 2000 -- GETGO Mail.com, Inc. (the "Company" or" GETGO")
(NASDAQ: "GTGO") today announced that it is enhancing its Asian operations.
Strengthening margins, distribution and new manufacturing opportunities in Asia
are the central focus of Fred Ko, GETGO Asia's president. His strong leadership
resulted in GETGO's winning TDK Semi Conductor Corporation's Far East Sales
Representative of the Year Award on September 16, 2000. "This award recognizes
the outstanding and dedicated sales efforts exhibited by GETGO Asia and
demonstrates that under Ko's leadership GETGO Asia is headed in the right
direction," said Dr. Derrin Smith, CEO of GETGO's worldwide operations from the
Company's headquarters in Denver Technology Center, Denver, Colorado.
Dr. Smith also noted that the Company will retain exclusive Asian distribution
rights to patented unified messaging products and services, after the merger of
the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary and the owner of the patents, as described
by the Company's release dated September 18, 2000. These patent rights
strengthen the parent company's strategic commitment to expand their existing
Asian distribution channels while accelerating time to market for new technology
enterprises.
Dr. Smith continued, "By aggressively leveraging its more than twenty years of
experience in the Asian market, GETGO intends to provide significant
opportunities for its broadband technology companies. The recent U.S. Senate
approval for permanent normalized trade relations with China further strengthens
our strategy, adding a solid policy foundation to operate more effectively in
Asian markets."
As announced on February 29, 2000, the parent company, GETGO Mail.com will spin
off a second public entity to focus exclusively on unified messaging. Dr. Smith
commented "the board of directors are committed to creating value for our
shareholders and they believe that a pure play in unified messaging with
embedded intellectual property is what the market is seeking." He added that
"the merger announced on September 18th is non-dilutive to the GETGO parent
company because no shares of the parent will be issued in the merger. Further,
the merger embeds the patents necessary to differentiate the merged company from
its competitors and significantly strengthens the company's competitive
position."
All shareholders of the GETGO parent company as of a record date (to be
announced), will own shares of two public companies when the spin off is
completed. Only those shareholders of the GETGO parent company on the record
date will receive shares of ownership in the new GETGO company.
Statements in this press release that are not strictly historical are
"forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These
statements involve a high degree of risk and uncertainty that exist in the GetGo
