FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                    I-LINK SHAREHOLDERS APPROVE MODIFICATION TO
                 PREFERRED STOCK RIGHTS OFFERING AT ANNUAL MEETING

                    KEENAN ALSO RE-ELECTED TO BOARD AT MEETING

DRAPER, Utah (July 22, 1999) -- I-Link Inc. (Nasdaq: ILNK), a next generation
telecommunications company, today announced that its shareholders approved a
modification to the terms of the company's current Series N preferred stock
rights offering at the company's annual meeting held July 19, 1999.

The original terms of the rights offering set the rate at which each Series N
preferred share can be converted into common shares at $2.78. The modification
approved by the shareholders provides for the reduction of the Series N
conversion price under certain conditions, including linking it to (1) the price
at which any new common stock is issued, (2) the price at which any common stock
is issued upon the exercise or conversion of any new options, warrants,
preferred stock, or other convertible security, or (3) the price at which any
common stock is issued upon the subsequent conversion of the company's
outstanding Series F preferred stock, in the event the price at which any such
common stock is issued is lower than $2.78. The modification also establishes a
conversion price floor of $1.25, consistent with other outstanding series of the
company's preferred stock. (Additional details on the modification to this
Series N preferred stock rights offering will be provided in the 8-K filing with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission slated to be filed later today.)

Additionally, I-Link shareholders approved the re-election of Thomas A. Keenan
to its board of directors and to fill a three-year term therein. Keenan was
first appointed to the I-Link board in 1998.
