Stet Hellas Discount Program Rewards Valued Customers

"It Pays To Stay With Telestet"

25 August 1999

ATHENS -- Stet Hellas Telecommunications S.A.
announced today that Telestet contract customers who have been on its
network 12 months or more will receive a discount in appreciation for
their loyal patronage.

Starting September 1, the company will reduce qualified customers'
monthly fees by 20 percent. The discount also will be given to other
contract customers once they reach their 12-month anniversary on the
network.

"This new program is a significant gesture to our loyal
customers," said Dimitris Lolis, Director of Marketing and Sales.
"We want to keep those valued customers on the Telestet network
by providing them with even better choices and pricing."

One example of the program's benefits is that a 12-month customer can
now get a Telestet Professional 1 contract with 1 hour of free airtime for
the low price of 8,800 Dr.

Customers can save the most with the Telestet Professional plans. The
greatest savings is 6,000 Dr. for the subscriber to Telestet Professional 5,
with a monthly fee of 30,000 Dr. and 5 hours of free airtime. With the
discount, this customer pays 24,000 Dr.-- less than the non-discount fee
for the regularly priced Telestet Professional 4 plan with 4 free hours.

The program covers all 12 Telestet subscription plans, including Telestet
ForAll, Telestet City Lines and Telestet Weekend. Telestet applies the
discount automatically to the accounts of customers who have subscribed
to one or more Telestet plans for 12 months. The company informs
customers in advance by mail once they become eligible.

"We expect our customers will be excited and pleased. Plus, in the
coming months, they can look forward to new services, products and
offers," said Mr. Lolis. "Clearly, it pays to stay with
Telestet."
