Los Angeles, California -Dial-Thru International Corporation (OTC BB: DTIX) today announced that its network and switching facilities in Buenos, Aires, the capital city of Argentina, are now operational and passing international telecommunications traffic. The U.S. Department of Commerce has reported that the telecommunications sector in Argentina became a $10 billion-a-year industry by the end of 1999, and is expected to gross $15 billion annually by 2001.

Juan Carlos Cardone, President of DTI Argentina, stated, "We have a large customer base that has been anxiously waiting for DTI services. I am pleased that we have reached this milestone within sixty days of opening our office, and I am very excited about now being able to provide our customers with communications tools like VoIP, ISP, ASP, Unified Messaging, and other enhanced Internet telephony services."

Larry Vierra, Executive Vice President of DTIX, added, "Argentina's relatively low rate of tele-density, which is less than half that of Europe and the U.S., still leaves plenty of room for expansion. With this kind of rapidly growing market, it's easy to see how even a small penetration can be significant to our company. Argentina is very important to our marketing strategy for Latin America and I am very proud of our people for reaching this objective in such a condensed time frame. Latin America will become a significant part of our international portfolio and is expected to contribute greatly toward achieving our growth objectives."

DTIX selectively targets emerging international markets with demand for services that can be derived from IP technologies.
