Business/Technology Editors

MIAMI, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 7, 2000

(OTC-BB:TVCP). TALK VISUAL CORPORATION announced today the signing of a definitive agreement to launch its first African videocall partnership. In conjunction with the renowned Internet cafe in Morocco, FUTUROSCOPE, Talk Visual will enable expatriate Moroccans the world over to "visit" their families in Tangiers by seeing and hearing them via videocalling.

FUTUROSCOPE is owned and operated by Abdelaziz Idrissi. M. Idrissi is a prominent businessman in northern Morocco. He is well-known as the director of the largest business and computing school in the region, encompassing locations in Tangiers and Tetouan. The agreement grants exclusive territorial rights for the development of videocalling to M. Idrissi and FUTUROSCOPE for the city of Tangiers.

Speaking from Miami, Florida, company president and chief executive officer Gene Rosov commented that "the city of Tangiers is vital to our development in Africa. It is the `nerve-center' of Morocco, and melting pot for a vast expatriate population. With this new development, over 300,000 Moroccans in Belgium will now be able to reach their long-separated families in and around Tangiers. Since the majority of Moroccans in Belgium are from the northern tier of the country - Tangiers, Tetouan, El Hociema, Nador - we see our exclusive relationship with FUTUROSCOPE and M. Idrissi as central to providing videocalling services to Moroccans worldwide. Furthermore, M. Idrissi is uniquely positioned in the Moroccan business community. As a highly valued partner for Talk Visual, he will work to develop several locations in the northern tier of Morocco. Just as we created an exclusive arrangement for the Czech Republic, this arrangement is now continuing our expansion into countries vital to our worldwide development."

The company's chairman, Mr. Michael Zwebner, added that "Morocco is part of our general plan to build a videocalling network of exceptional business customer, general consumer, and therefore shareholder value. We continue to aggressively seek partners throughout Africa, Asia and Europe to help us bring the benefits of videocalling to consumers and businesses. It is interesting to note that the new Moroccan king, Mohammed VI, made his first official visit in the city of Tangiers. We believe this is a direct recognition of the importance of Tangiers, and is one of the direct reasons we targeted it for our first African videocalling location."

The company's director of North African development, M. Herve Brisepierre, commented from his office in France that "the company's vision for Moroccan development includes the setup of new facilities in Paris and Marseille - cities where Moroccan expatriates reside in large numbers. We are actively seeking videocalling partners and locations at this time." Concerning the importance of Tangiers, Mr. Brisepierre added that "as a city with a wealth of history in both the European and Arabic worlds, Tangiers is a shining gem of a location for the company. We plan to provide similar videocalling services from Casablanca, Marrakech, Rabat and other important cities in Morocco in the near future."

A list of all the company's videocalling shops is available on the company's website at www.talkvisual.com. The site describes continuing international operations and also allows visitors to order a regular monthly mailing of the company's impressive full-color newspaper. The fourth edition of the newspaper is now available.

The company continues to sell pagers from its unique web site www.BEEPERFORABUCK.COM. In addition, the company plans to launch prepaid telephone sales from its new site currently under construction, www.prepaidtelephones.com. In other news, the company disclosed that it has finalized its rollout plans to implement the $52 million Joint Venture with Universal Express Inc. (USXP) - the "Visual Express" program - to offer videocalling and telecommunications services and products through USXP's 7,000 franchised outlets in the United States.
