                                   Common Stock
                         Offered by Selling Stockholders  

    
     This Reoffer Prospectus (the "Prospectus") relates to the reoffer and
resale of up to 2,132,051 shares (the "Shares") of common stock, par value
$0.004 (the "Common Stock") of Global TeleMedia International, Inc., a Florida
corporation (the "Company"), to be offered from time to time for the account of
certain consultants of the Company (the "Selling Stockholders"), some of whom
may be deemed to be "affiliates" of the Company, as such term is defined in Rule
405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").  The
2,132,051 Shares constitute: (i) 32,051 shares of Common Stock which have been
issued to certain consultants of the Company as compensation for consulting
services previously rendered to the Company, and (ii) up to 2,100,000 shares of
Common stock which may be issued by the Company upon the exercise of certain
options granted to certain consultants as compensation for consulting services.
See "Selling Stockholders" and "Plan of Distribution."  

    	The Selling Stockholders directly, through agents designated from time to
time, or through brokers, dealers, or through underwriters to be designated, may
sell the shares of Common Stock offered hereby from time to time on terms to be
determined at the time of sale.  To the extent required by applicable law, the
specific shares to be sold, the terms of the offering, including price, the
names of any agent, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable commission,
discount or other compensation with respect to a particular sale will be set
forth in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement.  See "Selling Stockholders"
and "Plan of Distribution."

    	The Company will receive none of the proceeds from the sale of these
Shares.  The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealer, agents or underwriters
that participate with the Selling Stockholders in the distribution of the Common
Stock may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act
and any commission received by them and any profit on the resale of the Common
Stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or
discounts under the Securities Act.  The Company has paid all of the costs of
the Offering with respect to the Shares to be offered by the Selling
Stockholder.  See "Selling Stockholders" and "Plan of Distribution."

    	The Company's Common Stock is currently listed for trading in the over-the
counter market, as quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. "bulletin board" or in the "pink sheets" maintained by the National
Quotation Bureau, Inc., under the symbol "GTMI."  On January 24, 1997, the
closing market price for the Common Stock was approximately $0.75 per share.

                                  THE COMPANY                               

     The Company is primarily engaged in the sale of telecommunications
services, including residential long distance, commercial long distance, prepaid
"debit" calling cards, interactive voice mail and conference calling.  The
services rendered under these product names are provided by independent third
party vendors.  The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Vision 21, Inc., markets
discount priced, consumer long-distance service through network marketing.

    	The Company has incurred losses from operations since inception.  The
Company has financed its activities primarily through equity and debt
investments.  The Company's successful transition to profitable operations is
dependent upon obtaining adequate financing from external sources to fund
current operations and the development of a market for the Company's business.

    	The Company's auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their
Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants to the effect that recovery
of the Company's assets are dependent upon future events, the outcome of which
is undeterminable, and that the successful completion of the Company's
development program and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of
profitable operations is dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to fulfill
its development activities and achieving a level of sales adequate to support
the Company's cost structure.  There can be no assurances that such a financing
can be completed on terms favorable to the Company or at all, or that the
business of the Company will ever achieve profitable operations.  See "Experts."

    	The Company's principal executive offices are located at 1121 Alderman
Drive, Suite 200, Alpharetta, Georgia 30202, tel. no. (770) 667-6088.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS                              

    	The Company will not receive any of the net proceeds from the shares of
Common Stock to be offered by the Selling Stockholders, all of which net
proceeds will be received by the Selling Stockholders.  See "Selling
Stockholders" and "Plan of Distribution."  
<PAGE>

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION                              

    	The shares of the Company's Common Stock offered hereby by the Selling
Stockholders may be sold from time to time to purchasers directly by the Selling
Stockholders.  Alternatively, the Selling Stockholders may from time to time
offer the shares of Common Stock through underwriters, dealers or agents, who
may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or
commissions from the Selling Stockholders and/or the purchasers of the shares
for whom they may act as agent.  The Selling Stockholders and any underwriters,
dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of the shares of Common
Stock may be deemed to be underwriters and any profit on the sale of shares by
them and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such
underwriters, dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions under the Securities Act.  At the time a particular offer of shares
is made, to the extent required by applicable law, a Prospectus Supplement will
be distributed which will set forth the specific shares to be sold and the terms
of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealer-agents,
any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to
dealers.

     The shares of Common Stock may be sold from time to time in one or more
transactions at a fixed offering price which may be changed or at varying prices
determined at the time of sale or negotiated prices.

     The Company has paid all of the expenses incident to the offering of the
shares of the Common Stock offered by the Selling Stockholders, other than
commissions and discounts of underwriters, dealers or agents.

              DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION              
                         FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES          

    	The Commission has expressed its opinion that indemnification of directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Company against liabilities arising
under the Securities Act, is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company
of expenses incurred or paid by an Indemnitee of the Company in the successful
defense of any such act or proceeding) is asserted by such Indemnitee in
connection with securities which have been registered by the Company, the
Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

                                  LEGAL MATTERS                                 

    	Certain matters with respect to the validity of the Shares offered hereby
will be passed upon for the Company by Matthias & Berg LLP, 515 South Flower
Street, Seventh Floor, Los Angeles, California 90071. 

                                     EXPERTS                                    

    	The audited financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 1995 and

ITEM 5:  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

    	Not applicable.

ITEM 6: 	Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

    	The Registrant's articles of incorporation generally provide for the
maximum indemnification of a corporation's officers and directors as permitted
by law in the State of Florida.  Florida law empowers a corporation to indemnify
any person who was or is a party or who is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, except in the case of an action by or
in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was
a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving
at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation or other enterprise against liability incurred in connection
with such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, if he or she acted in good
faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to,
the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful.  The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or
conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a
manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, or with respect to any criminal action or
proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

    	A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by
reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other
enterprise, against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and
attorney's fees against expenses and amounts paid in settlement not exceeding,
in the judgment of the board of directors, the estimated expense of litigating
the proceeding to conclusion, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he or she
acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.  Indemnification may
not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been
adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals
therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to
the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action
or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon
application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems
proper.

     To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation
has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein, he or she must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses,
including attorney's fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with the defense.  Any indemnification under this section, unless ordered by a
court or advanced pursuant to this section, must be made by the corporation only
as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of
the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The
determination must be made: (a) by the stockholders;(b) by the board of
directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not
parties to the action, suit or proceeding; (c) if such a quorum is not
obtainable or, even if obtainable, by majority vote of a committee duly
designated by the board of directors (in which directors who are parties may
participate) consisting solely of two or more directors not at the time parties
to the proceeding; or (d) if a quorum consisting of directors who were not
parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion.

    	The articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the
corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in
defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the
corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the
action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified
by the corporation.  The provisions of this section do not affect any rights to
advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than directors or
officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.

     The indemnification and advancement of expenses described above are not
exclusive, and a corporation may make any other or further indemnification or
advancement of expenses of any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents,
under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or
otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in
another capacity while holding such office.  However, indemnification or
advancement of expenses shall not be made to or on behalf of any director,
officer, employee, or agent if a judgment or other final adjudication
establishes that his or her actions, or omissions to act, were material to the
cause of action so adjudicated and constitute: (a) a violation of the criminal
law, unless the director, officer, employee, or agent had reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his
or her conduct was unlawful; (b) a transaction from which the director, officer,
employee, or agent derived an improper personal benefit; (c) in the case of a
director, a circumstance under which the liability provisions of Florida law
with respect to a declaration of unlawful distributions are applicable; or (d)
willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best interests of the
corporation in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor or in a proceeding by or in the right of a stockholder.

ITEM 9:	 Undertakings

    	The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

    	(1)	To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

       		(i)  	To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
               Securities Act;

       		(ii) 	To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
               the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
               recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
               in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
               information set forth in the registration statement.  

      	 	(iii)	To include any material information with respect to the plan of
               distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
               statement or any material change to such information in the
               registration statement;

       		provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not
apply if the Registration Statement is on From S-3 or Form S-8, and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is incorporated by reference from periodic reports filed by the
Registrant under the Exchange Act.

    	(2)	That, for determining liability under the Securities Act, to treat each
such post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
offered, and the offering of such securities at that time to be the initial bona
fide offering.

    	(3)	To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the end of the
offering.

    	The undersigned registrant hereby under takes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of any
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

    	Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been advised
that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officers or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

    	Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the
requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration
Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the city of Alpharetta, Georgia, on this 23rd day of January,
1997.

    	6.  Consultant and the Company hereby acknowledge that Consultant is an

or a joint venturer with the Company.  In addition, Consultant shall take no
action which binds, or purports to bind, the Company.

    	7.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties, and
may not be changed except by agreement in writing signed by the party against
whom enforcement of any waiver, change, discharge or modification is sought. 
Waiver of or failure to exercise any rights provided by this Agreement in any
respect shall not be deemed a waiver of any further or future rights.

    	8.  This Agreement shall be construed under the laws of the State of
Florida. 

     9.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties, their successors and
assigns; provided, however, that Consultant shall not permit any other person or
entity to assume these obligations hereunder without the prior written approval
of the Company which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and notice of
the Company's position shall be given within ten (10) days after approval has
been requested.

    	10.  Consultant hereby warrants and represents that neither Consultant nor
any of its executive officers, directors, shareholders, employees or affiliates
are registered or affiliated with any NASD member firm.

    	11. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of

    	0.  The Company hereby retains Consultant to promote and develop a market
for the Company's collectible prepaid calling card business operations and 
other telecommunications services offered by the Company.  Consultant agrees

    	1.  This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first set forth
above, and shall continue for a period of one (1) year.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement for cause
upon 30 days' written notice, which written notice shall be effective upon
mailing by first class mail accompanied by facsimile transmission to Consultant

Cause shall be determined solely as to the following:  violation of any rule or
regulation of any regulatory agency; and other neglect, act or omission
detrimental to the conduct of Company business; material breach of this
Agreement or any unauthorized disclosure of any of the secrets or confidential 
information of Company; dishonesty related to independent contractor status.

    	2.  (a)  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby grants
to Consultant, and Consultant hereby accepts, the non-exclusive license to 
utilize the tradename, trademark or logo "GTMI," or any other tradename,

         (b)  During the term of this Agreement, Consultant shall not negotiate
or enter into any license, sublicense agreement of subcontract or similar 
agreement with any third party in respect of the Licensed Trademarks, or any
right or interest granted by the Company to Consultant pursuant to this 
Agreement, and Consultant shall further refrain from directly or indirectly,

         (d)  This license shall expire simultaneously with the term of this
Agreement, and further, shall be revocable at will by the Company upon written
notice to Consutant, and Consultant shall immediately refrain from the use of

    	3.  The Company shall issue to Consultant upon the execution of this

services to be performed by Consultant for the benefit of the Company.  The
Company also agrees to issue 32,051 shares of Common Stock to Consultant in
consideration of services rendered by Consultant for the benefit of the Company

of the Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement.

    	4.  Consultant covenants that all information concerning the Company,
including proprietary information, which it obtains as a result of the services

used by Consultant except for the direct benefit of the Company nor disclosed by
Consultant to any third party without the prior written approval of the Company.

    	5.  Consultant and the Company hereby acknowledge that Consultant is an
independent contractor.  Consultant shall not hold itself out as, nor shall it
take any action from which others might infer that it is a partner or agent of
or a joint venturer with the Company.  In addition, Consultant shall take no
action which binds, or purports to bind, the Company.

    	6.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties, and
may not be changed except by agreement in writing signed by the party against
whom enforcement of any waiver, change, discharge or modification is sought.
Waiver of or failure to exercise any rights provided by this Agreement in any
respect shall not be deemed a waiver of any further or future rights.

    	7.  This Agreement shall be construed under the laws of the State of
Florida.

    	8.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties, their successors and
assigns; provided, however, that Consultant shall not permit any other person or

of the Company which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and notice of
the Company's position shall be given within ten (10) days after approval has
been requested.

    	9.  Consultant hereby warrants and represents that neither Consultant nor
any of its executive officers, directors, shareholders, employees or affiliates
are registered or affiliated with any NASD member firm.

    	10. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute but one
agreement.


    	IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed or caused these
present to be executed as of the day and year first above written at Alpharetta,

Gentlemen:

    	We are acting as counsel for Global TeleMedia International, Inc., a
Florida corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of the offering and sale of
up to 2,132,051 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value
$0.004 per share (the "Common Stock").  The 2,132,051 Shares constitute:
(i)  32,051 shares of Common Stock which have been issued to a certain
consultant of the Company as compensation for consulting services previously 
rendered to the Company, and (ii) up to 2,100,000 shares of Common Stock which
may be issued by the Company upon the exercise of certain options granted to
certain consultants.  A Registration Statement on Form S-8 covering the Shares
(the "Registration Statement") is being filed under the Act with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

    	In rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have reviewed such matters
of law as we have deemed necessary and have examined copies of such agreements,
instruments, documents and records as we have deemed relevant.

    	In rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have assumed the genuineness

certificates of public officials examined by us.  We have made no independent
factual investigation with regard to any such matters.

                                   Common Stock
                         Offered by Selling Stockholders  

    
     This Reoffer Prospectus (the "Prospectus") relates to the reoffer and
resale of up to 2,132,051 shares (the "Shares") of common stock, par value
$0.004 (the "Common Stock") of Global TeleMedia International, Inc., a Florida
corporation (the "Company"), to be offered from time to time for the account of
certain consultants of the Company (the "Selling Stockholders"), some of whom
may be deemed to be "affiliates" of the Company, as such term is defined in Rule
405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").  The
2,132,051 Shares constitute: (i) 32,051 shares of Common Stock which have been
issued to certain consultants of the Company as compensation for consulting
services previously rendered to the Company, and (ii) up to 2,100,000 shares of
Common stock which may be issued by the Company upon the exercise of certain
options granted to certain consultants as compensation for consulting services.
See "Selling Stockholders" and "Plan of Distribution."  

    	The Selling Stockholders directly, through agents designated from time to
time, or through brokers, dealers, or through underwriters to be designated, may
sell the shares of Common Stock offered hereby from time to time on terms to be
determined at the time of sale.  To the extent required by applicable law, the
specific shares to be sold, the terms of the offering, including price, the
names of any agent, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable commission,
discount or other compensation with respect to a particular sale will be set
forth in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement.  See "Selling Stockholders"

    	The Company will receive none of the proceeds from the sale of these
Shares.  The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealer, agents or underwriters
that participate with the Selling Stockholders in the distribution of the Common
Stock may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act
and any commission received by them and any profit on the resale of the Common
Stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or
discounts under the Securities Act.  The Company has paid all of the costs of
the Offering with respect to the Shares to be offered by the Selling
Stockholder.  See "Selling Stockholders" and "Plan of Distribution."

    	The Company's Common Stock is currently listed for trading in the over-the
counter market, as quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. "bulletin board" or in the "pink sheets" maintained by the National
Quotation Bureau, Inc., under the symbol "GTMI."  On January 24, 1997, the
closing market price for the Common Stock was approximately $0.75 per share.

THE COMPANY                               

     The Company is primarily engaged in the sale of telecommunications
services, including residential long distance, commercial long distance, prepaid
"debit" calling cards, interactive voice mail and conference calling.  The
services rendered under these product names are provided by independent third
party vendors.  The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Vision 21, Inc., markets
discount priced, consumer long-distance service through network marketing.

    	The Company has incurred losses from operations since inception.  The
Company has financed its activities primarily through equity and debt
investments.  The Company's successful transition to profitable operations is
dependent upon obtaining adequate financing from external sources to fund
current operations and the development of a market for the Company's business.

    	The Company's auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their
Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants to the effect that recovery
of the Company's assets are dependent upon future events, the outcome of which
is undeterminable, and that the successful completion of the Company's
development program and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of
profitable operations is dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to fulfill
its development activities and achieving a level of sales adequate to support
the Company's cost structure.  There can be no assurances that such a financing
can be completed on terms favorable to the Company or at all, or that the
business of the Company will ever achieve profitable operations.  See "Experts."

    	The Company's principal executive offices are located at 1121 Alderman
Drive, Suite 200, Alpharetta, Georgia 30202, tel. no. (770) 667-6088.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS                              

    	The Company will not receive any of the net proceeds from the shares of
Common Stock to be offered by the Selling Stockholders, all of which net
proceeds will be received by the Selling Stockholders.  See "Selling
Stockholders" and "Plan of Distribution."
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION                              

    	The shares of the Company's Common Stock offered hereby by the Selling
Stockholders may be sold from time to time to purchasers directly by the Selling
Stockholders.  Alternatively, the Selling Stockholders may from time to time
offer the shares of Common Stock through underwriters, dealers or agents, who
may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or
commissions from the Selling Stockholders and/or the purchasers of the shares
for whom they may act as agent.  The Selling Stockholders and any underwriters,
dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of the shares of Common
Stock may be deemed to be underwriters and any profit on the sale of shares by
them and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such
underwriters, dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions under the Securities Act.  At the time a particular offer of shares
is made, to the extent required by applicable law, a Prospectus Supplement will
be distributed which will set forth the specific shares to be sold and the terms
of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealer-agents,
any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to
dealers.

     The shares of Common Stock may be sold from time to time in one or more
transactions at a fixed offering price which may be changed or at varying prices
determined at the time of sale or negotiated prices.

     The Company has paid all of the expenses incident to the offering of the
shares of the Common Stock offered by the Selling Stockholders, other than
commissions and discounts of underwriters, dealers or agents.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION              
                         FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES          

    	The Commission has expressed its opinion that indemnification of directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Company against liabilities arising
under the Securities Act, is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company
of expenses incurred or paid by an Indemnitee of the Company in the successful
defense of any such act or proceeding) is asserted by such Indemnitee in
connection with securities which have been registered by the Company, the
Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

                                  LEGAL MATTERS                                 

    	Certain matters with respect to the validity of the Shares offered hereby
will be passed upon for the Company by Matthias & Berg LLP, 515 South Flower
Street, Seventh Floor, Los Angeles, California 90071.

ITEM 5:  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

    	Not applicable.

ITEM 6: 	Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

    	The Registrant's articles of incorporation generally provide for the
maximum indemnification of a corporation's officers and directors as permitted
by law in the State of Florida.  Florida law empowers a corporation to indemnify
any person who was or is a party or who is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, except in the case of an action by or
in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was
a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving
at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation or other enterprise against liability incurred in connection
with such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, if he or she acted in good
faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to,
the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful.  The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or
conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a
manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, or with respect to any criminal action or
proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

    	A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by
reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other
enterprise, against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and
attorney's fees against expenses and amounts paid in settlement not exceeding,
in the judgment of the board of directors, the estimated expense of litigating
the proceeding to conclusion, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he or she
acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.  Indemnification may
not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been
adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals
therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to
the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action
or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon
application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems
proper.

     To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation
has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein, he or she must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses,
including attorney's fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with the defense.  Any indemnification under this section, unless ordered by a
court or advanced pursuant to this section, must be made by the corporation only
as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of
the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The
determination must be made: (a) by the stockholders;(b) by the board of
directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not
parties to the action, suit or proceeding; (c) if such a quorum is not
obtainable or, even if obtainable, by majority vote of a committee duly
designated by the board of directors (in which directors who are parties may
participate) consisting solely of two or more directors not at the time parties
to the proceeding; or (d) if a quorum consisting of directors who were not
parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion.

    	The articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the
corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in
defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the
corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the
action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified
by the corporation.  The provisions of this section do not affect any rights to
advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than directors or
officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.

     The indemnification and advancement of expenses described above are not
exclusive, and a corporation may make any other or further indemnification or
advancement of expenses of any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents,
under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or
otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in

ITEM 9:	 Undertakings

    	The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

    	(1)	To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

       		(i)  	To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
               Securities Act;

       		(ii) 	To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
               the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
               recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
               in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
               information set forth in the registration statement.  

      	 	(iii)	To include any material information with respect to the plan of
               distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
               statement or any material change to such information in the
               registration statement;

       		provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not
apply if the Registration Statement is on From S-3 or Form S-8, and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is incorporated by reference from periodic reports filed by the
Registrant under the Exchange Act.

    	(2)	That, for determining liability under the Securities Act, to treat each
such post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
offered, and the offering of such securities at that time to be the initial bona
fide offering.

    	(3)	To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the end of the
offering.

    	The undersigned registrant hereby under takes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of any
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

    	Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been advised
that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officers or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                   SIGNATURES                                  
                                       
    	Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the
requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration
Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the city of Alpharetta, Georgia, on this 23rd day of January,
1997.

Gentlemen:

    	We are acting as counsel for Global TeleMedia International, Inc., a
Florida corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of the offering and sale of
up to 2,132,051 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value
$0.004 per share (the "Common Stock").  The 2,132,051 Shares constitute:
(i)  32,051 shares of Common Stock which have been issued to a certain
consultant of the Company as compensation for consulting services previously 
rendered to the Company, and (ii) up to 2,100,000 shares of Common Stock which
may be issued by the Company upon the exercise of certain options granted to
certain consultants.  A Registration Statement on Form S-8 covering the Shares
(the "Registration Statement") is being filed under the Act with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

    	In rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have reviewed such matters
of law as we have deemed necessary and have examined copies of such agreements,
instruments, documents and records as we have deemed relevant.

    	In rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have assumed the genuineness
