  LOS ANGELES, CA, Jul 09 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
In the news release, "With a Phone and an App You Can Now Locate People
in Seconds at the Touch of a Button," issued earlier today by GTX Corp
(OTCBB: GTXO), we are advised by the company that the quote in the third
paragraph has been updated. The revised third paragraph should read:

    "Ordinarily, at this moment I'd be calling and texting to check if my
teenager is on the way home," said Neil M. from Southern California,
parent and test group participant for iLOCi2. "After trying out the
application myself, I see how quick and easy it is to know the
whereabouts of my kids with a simple iLOCi2 request than hassling with
phone calls, voicemail, and texting. As a parent, iLOCi2 gives me instant
peace of mind with the push of a button. In fact, I'm moving my family to
AT&T's iPhone for this app alone."

    Please disregard the original third paragraph. Complete corrected text
follows.


 
 With a Phone and an App You Can Now Locate People in
Seconds at the Touch of a Button

    Ask the Where Question; LOCi(R) Is the Answer

    LOS ANGELES, CA -- July 9, 2009 -- GTX Corp (OTCBB: GTXO), a leader in
customizable, patented 2-way GPS Personal Location Services (PLS)
solutions, continues its commitment to delivering people finding
applications through LOCiMOBILE(R) and Code Amber(TM), both wholly owned
subsidiaries of GTX Corp. The latest apps are designed to locate children,
parents, friends, and business associates at the touch of a button without
violating privacy, and aid law enforcement in the recovery of a missing
person.

    Following the launch of LOCiMe version 1.3 in April and the enhanced
version 1.5 in June, GTX Corp submitted its newest app iLOCi2 for review
last week. The geo-specific app runs in the background and, when
authorized, populates the built-in Google Maps on your iPhone, or iTouch,
with the locations of people in your private, opt-in buddy list. A free
two-user version and a paid eight-user version are expected for release
upon approval in the coming weeks. Additionally, a 24-user Platinum
version and unlimited user Enterprise version are in development and will
follow shortly. iLOCi2 was previewed by a wide range sample group of
parents, teens, tweens, business executives, law enforcement officers,
teachers, and technologists. Subjects were amazed, unanimously noting its
fast and easy use coupled with accuracy.

    "Ordinarily, at this moment I'd be calling and texting to check if my
teenager is on the way home," said Neil M. from Southern California,
parent and test group participant for iLOCi2. "After trying out the
application myself, I see how quick and easy it is to know the
whereabouts of my kids with a simple iLOCi2 request than hassling with
phone calls, voicemail, and texting. As a parent, iLOCi2 gives me instant
peace of mind with the push of a button. In fact, I'm moving my family to
AT&T's iPhone for this app alone."

    "Our vision for the LOCi smart phone apps are coming to fruition with the
help of Apple's 3.0 OS, the success of the 3G iPhone and App Store, and
the expertise of application developer Lextech," said Patrick Bertagna,
CEO of GTX Corp. "Imagine the relief for an anguished parent looking for
their child, the joy of knowing where a spouse is, that a senior parent
is safe, or perhaps business associates are close enough to make a
spontaneous meeting. I LOCi... Do You LOCi Too?"

    True to the company's mission of being the better people finder, Code
Amber News Service(TM), will soon be releasing its new app
CodeMobile(TM). It is the first socially conscience app, supported by
corporate sponsors, working in the background that notifies subscribers
as they enter a live "search zone." CodeMobile displays pertinent missing
person alerts in real time based on the proximity and geographical
location of a smart phone. CodeMobile will also be available in an SMS
version for non-smart phones. As a precursor to the anticipated
CodeMobile launch, Code Amber(TM) has recently added two million
subscribers displaying national missing person alerts, and information
about abductors when available, utilizing a rich graphical interface on
Cisco VOIP land-line phones through its partnership with SA Announce.
