PRESS RELEASE

           CLARITI TELECOMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL TO ACQUIRE
                     MEDIATEL GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS

     Philadelphia, PA, February 12, 1999 -- Clariti Telecommunications 
International, Ltd. (OTC BB: CLRI) ("Clariti") today announced it has signed a 
definitive agreement to acquire MediaTel Global Communications, Ltd. 
("MediaTel"), a switchless reseller of telecommunications services, 
headquartered in the United Kingdom, from its majority shareholder, Chadwell 
Hall Holdings, Limited for $34 million.  ING Baring Furman Selz LLC is acting 
as financial advisor to the transaction.  Consummation of the acquisition is 
subject to Clariti's satisfactory completion of its due diligence and other 
customary conditions.

     MediaTel is focused on providing high quality, low-cost retail telephone 
services to residential markets located primarily in the U.K. and to the small-
to-mid sized enterprise sectors.  The Company has annualized revenues of 
approximately $40 million based on its most recent quarter.

     "The proposed acquisition of MediaTel marks another step toward our goal 
of providing simple, powerful and affordable communications solutions to the 
worldwide marketplace," stated Peter S. Pelullo, Chairman and Chief Executive 
Officer of Clariti.  "Our intention is to merge and integrate MediaTel with 
GlobalFirst Holdings, which we acquired late last year.  The combination of 
these two companies will provide vast economies of scale from, among others, an 
operation and sales and marketing standpoint, in addition to allowing entry 
into new markets, such as the small-to-mid sized enterprise market in France 
and the U.K.  Going forward, we will continue to evaluate other 
telecommunications companies that would complement our investments in MediaTel 
and GlobalFirst."

     Clariti Telecommunications International, Ltd., through its recent 
acquisition of GlobalFirst, provides diversified telecommunications services, 
including domestic and international long-distance, pre-paid mobile phones and 
calling cards, primarily in the United Kingdom and France.  Additionally, 
Clariti is currently developing the ClariCAST(TM) Digital Voice Paging System, 
the world's first low-cost high-speed digital voice paging system.  The 
ClariCAST(TM) system combines a full-featured voice mail system with wireless 
voice pagers.  This patented communications technology uses FM subcarrier 
frequencies, so it can be quickly and inexpensively installed in any city where 
FM radio towers exist.  Clariti plans to market its voice paging service 
worldwide, including rapidly growing wireless telecom markets such as Europe, 
Latin America and the U.S.  More information on Clariti and the ClariCAST(TM)
