               West Corporation Completes Acquisition of InterCall

Omaha, NE.--(PRNewswire)--West Corporation (NASDAQ: WSTC), a leading provider of
outsourced communication solutions, today announced it has completed its
acquisition of InterCall after receiving approval from the stockholders of
parent company ITC Holding Company.

The acquisition, for a net purchase price of $399.6 million in cash, was first
announced on March 27th, 2003, and is being fully funded with a combination of
cash and a committed bank credit facility.

InterCall, which will operate as a division of West Corporation, is a leading
provider of high quality audio, web, and video conferencing solutions with a
client base of over 14,000 organizations in North America, Europe and Asia.
Founded in 1991 and based in Chicago, IL, InterCall is the largest independent
U.S. audio conferencing provider, and currently employs approximately 1,200
people. In 2002, InterCall produced revenue of approximately $196 million and
net income of approximately $30.1 million.

"We are very pleased to close this acquisition," commented Thomas B. Barker,
President and Chief Executive Officer. "Every part of this process has confirmed
our original research that buying InterCall was the best way to enter the
growing teleconferencing market. The InterCall management team will remain with
the company, and their expertise will be invaluable in the integration process
and future growth of the company."

Goldman Sachs represented West Corporation in the acquisition and Wachovia
Corporation arranged the bank credit facility for the Company.
