          Incomnet's Board Nominates Persons To Stand For Election 

Incomnet, Inc. (Woodland Hills, CA) announced that its Board of Directors has
nominated Melvyn Reznick, its President and Chief Executive Officer, Nancy
Zivitz, Mark Richardson and Gerald Katell to stand for election to the Company's
Board of Directors at the 1996 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Mr. Reznick was
also nominated to stand for election as the new Chairman of the Board of
Directors. 

Mr. Richardson and Mr. Katell are new nominees. Mr. Richardson is the Company's
corporate counsel. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan. Mr. Katell is
a successful real estate executive and business leader. Mr. Katell is a graduate
of MIT with a Bachelor of Science and of Stanford University with a Masters
Degree in Business Administration.

The attendees of the Board meeting unanimously declined to renominate Joel W.
Greenberg, the present Chairman of the Board. The Board believes that Mr.
Greenberg's requests for compensation in the form of cash payments and stock
options are excessive in light of the compensation guidelines promulgated by the
National Association of Corporate Directors ("NACD") and considering the number
of stock options contemplated for the other directors. Mr. Greenberg's
compensation demands are described in a Form 8-K filing, dated April 26, 1996. 

The Company said that its Board, which was reconstituted in November 1995,
adheres to nationally-accepted principles of corporate board governance,
including compensation, as set forth by the NACD. 

Mr. Greenberg is also not expected to be reelected to the Boards of either of
the Company's subsidiaries, National Telephone & Communications, Inc. and Rapid
Cast, Inc. On April 25, 1996, Mr. Greenberg notified the Company on April 24,
1996 that he intends to pursue a proxy election contest in connection with the
Company's 1996 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Mr. Albert Milstein, who
presently serves on the Board, notified the Company that he does not wish to
stand for reelection because he does not want to be involved in a proxy election
contest.

Mr. Reznick is the beneficial owner of 205,300 shares of the Company's common
