Teletouch Ends Contracted Call Center Help Desk and Answering Service Businesses; Company Exchanges Current Answering Service Accounts for Tennessee Paging Network and Cancels Remaining Term of GPSi Help-Desk Services Agreement

FORT WORTH, Texas--April 13, 2006--Teletouch Communications, Inc. (AMEX:TLL) announced today that it has ended its Answering Service and related Help Desk Services businesses, effective April 5th. In preparation for the completion of the previously announced sale of Teletouch's paging assets, the Company executed an asset exchange agreement with OnCall, a Tennessee-based paging and answering services company, to exchange all of Teletouch's answering service accounts for all of OnCall's paging assets and customer base. The asset exchange agreement became effective upon the completion of the telecommunications cutover from the current call center to OnCall. In addition, Teletouch agreed to cancel the remaining two years of its previously announced three-year call-center and help-desk services agreement with Pontiac, Michigan-based GPSi, a leading provider of Guidepoint(TM) consumer vehicle theft recovery services and commercial fleet management solutions. The financial impact of both operations on those of the Company was immaterial, and there would be no expected service impact on existing answering service clients or GPSi customers who have purchased vehicle tracking services through Teletouch or its affiliates.

Notwithstanding the above, Teletouch will continue to work with GPSi as a dealer and distributor of the Michigan firm's GPS technology and related services. In July 2005, Teletouch announced a comprehensive dealer agreement aimed at providing cost-effective fleet-management solutions for small- to mid-sized businesses and government vehicle fleets. Guidepoint provides Teletouch with a private-label fleet management solution, originally sold under the V100(TM): Powered by Guidepoint(TM) brand. GPSi products can also operate on Teletouch's own GeoFleet branded location based services application software.

"The answering business and related call center businesses were primarily eliminated under our continuing efforts to cut non-core business expenses," said T.A. "Kip" Hyde, CEO of Teletouch. "We are pleased to have assisted in Guidepoint's growth over the past few years, the opening of its new call and distribution center and look forward to continuing our relationship with GPSi, as a core distributor of its products and services to fleet operators, school districts, 12-volt retailers."
