365 Corporation PLC
1 March 2000


         365 Corporation plc acquires Fenfones Communications Limited
                         and Datacom Networks Limited

365  Corporation plc ('365 Corporation' or 'the Group') announces that it  has
completed  the  acquisition  of the entire issued share  capital  of  Fenfones
Communications Limited ('Fenfones'). Established in 1976 Fenfones  is  one  of
the  UK's  leading suppliers of telephone systems and associated  services  to
small  and  medium  sized enterprises ('SMEs').  At  the  same  time  365  has
acquired  the  balance  of the whole of the issued share  capital  of  Datacom
Networks  Limited ('Datacom'), a company in which 365 and Fenfones  previously
each   held   50%   of  the  issued  shares.   Datacom  is   a   provider   of
telecommunications services, including voice & data calls, mobile and Internet
services to the SME market.

The  total  consideration for Fenfones is £4,520,000 to  be  satisfied  as  to
1,193,317  in  shares  of  365  Corporation  and  £2,020,000  in  cash.    The
consideration will be adjusted to the extent that completion accounts indicate
there  are  net  current  liabilities  or  net  liabilities  of  Fenfones   at
completion.  According to unaudited management accounts of Fenfones, as at  31
December  1999  Fenfones  had  net assets of £195,856,  produced  turnover  of
£2,710,180 and made a post-tax profit of £59,052 in respect of the year  ended
31  December  1999.   The  consideration for  Datacom  is  £500,000  in  cash,
satisfied in full at completion.

The  acquisition  of Fenfones will add around 2,000 active accounts  to  365's
Business  Services  Division  that,  as at  January  2000,  had  2,592  active
accounts.  Fenfones  will be provided with funding to  actively  market  365's
portfolio  of  business  services to its 2,000 accounts.  Datacom  owns  365's
business Internet product, Net@Work, which provides email access, domain  name
registration, website hosting, web design and e-commerce solutions.

The current directors of Fenfones will join 365's Business Services management
team.  Stephen Richardson will be in charge of business Internet services  and
Paul McGeary will take charge of the Group's telephone system division.

Commenting  on the acquisition, Dan Thompson, Chief Executive Officer  of  365
said:

'365's Business Services Division has been highly successful over the last two
years  in  establishing a strong position as a provider of fixed line,  mobile
and  internet  services to the SME market.  Datacom, our  joint  venture  with
Fenfones,  has been part of that success - in particular with the introduction
of the Net@work product.

'365's  strategy is to build aggressively from this position  of  strength  in
terms  of  the  number  of customer accounts we service and  the  products  we
provide  to  these  customers. In line with this strategy we  expect  to  make
further  acquisitions  and  forge further key  partnerships  in  the  business
telecom, mobile and Internet sector both in the UK and Europe.'

Stephen Richardson, Managing Director of Fenfones, added:

'We are looking forward to working with 365 and using their resources to offer
more  SME businesses a no-nonsense, easy-to-understand solution for all  their
telecom, mobile, e-mail and Internet needs.'
