                           Be sure to vote your proxy

Those of you who are  BellSouth  shareholders  should have  recently  received a
package  containing the BellSouth proxy  statement and voting  information for a
Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held December 5, 2000. The proxy statement
provides  information  regarding proposals that will enable BellSouth to issue a
second class of common stock,  a "tracking  stock," which is designed to reflect
the performance and prospects of our Latin American companies. This new class of
stock is a critical  element in  BellSouth's  strategy  of  expanding  our Latin
American  operations.  The Latin  America  tracking  stock would give us another
capital  source and would  provide  greater  market  visibility  of  BellSouth's
pan-regional wireless presence in Latin America.

The  BellSouth  Board of  Directors  urges  you to review  the  proxy  statement
carefully and then vote "FOR" the proposals.  You may vote by telephone,  on the
Internet or by mail, or you may cast your vote in person at the Special Meeting.
If you have not  received  your proxy  statement , or if you have any  questions
after reviewing the material, please call 800-969-2372.

A favorable vote of a majority of BellSouth's  outstanding shares is required to
pass the tracking stock proposal.  Your vote is very important.  Please exercise
your right to vote.
