PROSPECTUS
                                4,177,855 shares
                                INTELLICALL, INC.
                                  Common Stock

         All of the  shares  of Common  Stock,  par  value  $.01 per share  (the
"Common Stock") of Intellicall,  Inc., a Delaware corporation  ("Intellicall" or
the  "Company"),  offered  hereby  are  being  offered  for  resale  by  certain
shareholders of the Company (the "Selling Stockholders") as described more fully
herein.  The Company will not receive any  proceeds  from the sale of the shares
offered hereby.

         The shares of Common Stock offered  hereby by the Selling  Stockholders
consist of up to 4,177,855  shares  issuable upon  conversion of 2,690 shares of
the Company's 7% Series A Convertible  Preferred Stock (the  "Preferred  Stock")
currently outstanding. There were originally 4,000 shares of the Preferred Stock
outstanding,  1,310 of which were  converted into 358,377 shares of Common Stock
prior to the date of this  Prospectus.  Each  share of  Preferred  Stock  may be
converted  into a number of shares of Common  Stock  equal to (i) 1,000  (plus a
premium  equal to 1,000  times the number of days from July 21, 1997 to the date
of  conversion,  times .07,  divided by 365) divided by (ii) a conversion  price
equal to the  lesser of $5.05 per share or eighty  percent  (80%) of the  volume
weighted average fifteen day trading price preceding the date of conversion. The
number of shares of Common Stock being  offered by each Selling  Stockholder  is
based upon the Company's contractual agreement to register 200% of the number of
shares which would be issuable upon conversion at the conversion price currently
in effect which, as of October 26, 1998, was $1.40184. If all of the outstanding
shares of Preferred  Stock were  converted at that price on such date a total of
2,088,688  shares of Common Stock would be issued upon such conversion or 17.39%
of the Common Stock then outstanding.  For a complete  description of the rights
of holders of Preferred  Stock,  see the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K
dated July 21, 1997 as amended by the Form 8-K/A  dated July 21,  1997, the
Certificate  of  Designation of Series A Convertible  Preferred Stock of the 
Company and the related Securities Purchase Agreement (with exhibits) filed as
an exhibit thereto.  This  presentation  is not  intended, and should  in no way
be  construed,  to constitute a prediction as to the future  market price of the
Common Stock.  See "Risk  Factors -- Dilution as a Result of  Conversion  of  
Preferred  Stock" and "Selling Stockholders."

                       ----------------------------
         THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OFFERED HEREBY INVOLVE A HIGH
         DEGREE OF RISK. SEE "RISK FACTORS" AT PAGE 6 OF THE PROSPECTUS.

         THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY
         THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE
         SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
         COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON
         THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS.  ANY 
         REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

         All expenses of this  offering  will be paid by the Company  except for
commissions, fees and discounts of any underwriters,  brokers, dealers or agents
retained by the Selling Stockholders.  Estimated expenses payable by the Company
in  connection  with this  offering are  approximately  $21,680.  The  aggregate
proceeds to the Selling  Stockholders from the Common Stock will be the purchase
price of the  Common  Stock  sold  less the  aggregate  agents'  commission  and
underwriters' discounts, if any. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling
Stockholders  and certain other persons against certain  liabilities,  including
liabilities under the 1933 Act.

         The Common Stock being registered  under the Registration  Statement of
which this  Prospectus is a part may be offered for sale from time to time by or
for the account of such Selling Stockholders in the open market, on the New York
Stock  Exchange  ("NYSE"),   in  privately   negotiated   transactions,   in  an
underwritten  offering,  or a  combination  of such  methods,  at market  prices
prevailing  at the time of sale,  at prices  related to such  prevailing  market
prices  or at  negotiated  prices.  The  Selling  Stockholders  and any  agents,
broker-dealers  or  underwriters  that  participate in the  distribution  of the
Common Stock may be deemed to be  "underwriters"  within the meaning of the 1933
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  discounts or
commissions   under  the  1933  Act.  See  "Use  of   Proceeds"   and  "Plan  of
Distribution."

         The Common Stock of the Company is listed on the NYSE (Symbol: ICL). On
November 2, 1998, the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the NYSE was
$1.56.

                                  RISK FACTORS

Recent History of Losses

         The  Company  incurred  net  losses  of  $10,905,000,   $4,995,000  and
$6,139,000  for the  fiscal  years  ended  December  31,  1997,  1996 and  1995,
respectively.  The  Company  enjoyed a profit of  $3,350,000  for the six months
ended June 30, 1998  resulting  from a gain of $6,892,000 on the sale of assets.
Without such gain the  Company's  loss for such six month period would have been
$3,542,000.  Such losses are  primarily  attributable  to profit  margins on the
Company's  hardware  products  which  have been  insufficient  to meet  selling,
marketing, sustaining engineering, and other general and administrative costs of
the Company.  The Company's  historical losses have required the Company to seek
various  sources of  financing,  including the sale of assets of the Company and
the sale of debt and equity  securities  including the Preferred Stock purchased
by certain of the Selling Stockholders. While the Company believes operations of
the Company are  improving,  there can be no assurance  that the Company will be
able to return to profitability.

Changes in Management

         The Company has  recently  made  various  management  changes.  John J.
McDonald, Jr. became president and chief executive officer of the Company in May
1998 and R. Phillip Boyd became Chief Financial Officer in October 1998. William
0. Hunt, the Company's prior  president,  has remained as Chairman of the Board.
Mr. McDonald joined the Company in February 1997 and Mr. Boyd joined the Company
in  December  1997.  While the Company  believes  these  management  changes are
beneficial  to the  Company,  there  can be no  assurance  that  the new  senior
management team will be able to implement the Company's strategy.

Dilution as a Result of Conversion of Preferred Stock

         There are currently  2,690 shares of the Preferred  Stock  outstanding.
Each share of Preferred Stock may be converted into a number of shares of Common
Stock,  equal to (i) 1,000  (plus a premium  equal to 1,000  times the number of
days from July 21, 1997 to the date of  conversion,  times .07,  divided by 365)
divided  by (ii) a  conversion  price  equal to the lesser of $5.05 per share or
eighty percent (80%) of the volume  weighted  average  fifteen day trading price
preceding  the date of  conversion.  The  conversion  price,  if below $5.05 per
share,  fluctuates daily and as of October 26, 1998 was $1.40184.  If all of the
outstanding  shares of Preferred  Stock were  converted at that price a total of
2,088,688  shares of Common  Stock would be issued upon such  conversion,  which
would  represent  17.39% of  outstanding  Common  Stock based upon the fact that
on November 2, 1998 there were issued and  outstanding a total of 9,919,161  
shares of  Common  Stock.  All of such  shares  of  Common  Stock  are  covered
by the registration statements containing  this prospectus  or  will be  covered
by subsequent registration statements filed by the Company, if necessary.  While
no Selling Stockholder is permitted to convert shares of Preferred  Stock to the
extent that such conversion would cause it to beneficially own more than 4.9% of
the Common Stock, this restriction does not prevent a Selling Stockholder from


                                        6

<PAGE>



converting  and selling shares and then  converting  more shares.  Therefore,  a
Selling Stockholder can sell more than 4.9% of the outstanding Common Stock even
though it cannot  own more than 4.9% of the  Common  Stock at any one time.  See
"Selling  Stockholders."  Up to 2,636,197 shares of Common Stock are issuable by
the Company upon conversion of debentures and exercise of warrants issued by the
Company to persons  other than the Selling  Stockholders.  Under the  applicable
conversion formula for the Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon  conversion is inversely  proportional  to the market price of the
Common Stock (i.e. the number of shares to be issued upon  conversion  increases
as the market price of the Common Stock decreases). Therefore, to the extent the
Selling  Stockholders  convert and sell their shares of Common Stock, the market
price of the  Common  Stock may  decrease  due to the  additional  shares  being
offered in the market,  allowing the holders of the  Preferred  Stock to convert
their  Preferred  Stock  into  greater  amounts  of  Common  Stock  and  further
depressing the market price of the Common Stock.  For a complete  description of
the rights of holders of Preferred  Stock,  see the Company's  Current Report on
Form 8-K dated July 21,  1997 as amended by the Form 8-K/A  dated July 21,  1997
and the  Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible  Preferred  Stock of
the Company and the related Securities  Purchase Agreement (with exhibits) filed
as exhibits thereto.

Possible Effect on Additional Equity Financing

         The  conversion of the Preferred  Stock and  debentures and exercise of
warrants and the sale of the shares of Common Stock  received upon such exercise
and conversion  could have a significant  negative impact on the market price of
the Common  Stock and could  materially  impair the  Company's  ability to raise
capital  through  the future sale of equity  securities.  In  addition,  certain
holders of  outstanding  securities of the Company have rights to approve and/or
participate  in certain  types of future equity  financings by the Company.  The
availability  to the Company of additional  equity  financing,  and the terms of
such financing, may be adversely affected by the foregoing.

Potential Redemption of Preferred Stock

         Pursuant to the  regulations of the NYSE, in the absence of shareholder
approval,  the  Company may not issue,  in the  aggregate,  more than  1,860,500
shares of Common Stock upon  conversion  of all of the  Preferred  Stock,  which
number of shares is less than the total number of shares  being  offered by this
Prospectus.  As of the date of this Prospectus,  1,310 shares of Preferred Stock
have been  converted  into an aggregate of 358,377  shares of Common Stock.  The
actual  number of shares of Common  Stock to be issued  upon  conversion  of the
remaining Preferred Stock will depend on the average closing price of the Common
Stock  prior to  conversion.  The Company is  obligated  to redeem any shares of
Preferred Stock which may not be converted into Common Stock as a result of such
regulatory  limitation,  unless the Company timely obtains shareholder approval.
At the $1.40184  conversion price in effect on October 26, 1998 2,088,688 shares
of Common Stock would be issuable  upon  conversion  of all of the  outstanding
shares of Preferred Stock. The redemption price in effect on October 26, 1998
for any shares of Preferred Stock which could not be converted due to the New 
York Stock


                                        7

Exchange limitation was $1,361 per share.  The cash demands to fund such a 
redemption  may  adversely  affect the Company's ability to make future capital
expenditures and fund the development and launch of new products and/or 
services. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Company will have cash
available to fund such a redemption.

Possible Need for Additional Financing

         Although  the Company  anticipates  that the net proceeds of the recent
sale of assets and its cash flow from  operations will be sufficient to fund the
Company's  operations  during the short term, there can be no assurance that the
Company  will not require  additional  financing  prior to the end of the fiscal
year ending  December 31, 1998.  The Company's  future  liquidity will depend on
spending levels, working capital turnover and the volume and timing of equipment
sales and gross margins related thereto.

Recent Telecommunications Act

         The Company's pay telephones in the United States are principally  sold
to   independent    payphone   providers.    In   1996   Congress   passed   the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "Telecom Act") pursuant to which the Federal
Communications  Commission (the "FCC") was authorized to evaluate and adjust the
amount  of the  compensation  paid  by  long-distance  carriers  to  independent
payphone  companies when consumers  access a long-distance  carrier  directly by
dialing  an  access  or an 800  number  or by  using a  calling  card  which  is
non-billable  by the payphone  provider and thereby  "dial-around"  the payphone
provider's  long-distance  carrier  (from whom the  payphone  provider  receives
compensation)  in order to reach  another  long-distance  carrier (from whom the
payphone provider would not receive  compensation) ("Dial Around").  In November
1996, the FCC issued an order to increase compensation to payphone providers for
Dial-Around;  however such order was  appealed to the U.S.  Court of Appeals for
the Eighth  Circuit,  which  court  ruled in July 1997 that the FCC's  basis for
determining  DialAround  compensation  was  inappropriate.  The Court of Appeals
ordered  the FCC to  re-examine  the  Dial-Around  compensation  structure.  The
Company's  customers  will be  impacted  by the  FCC's  final  determination  on
Dial-Around  compensation.  If such  compensation is reduced,  the determination
could have an adverse impact on the Company's sales of pay telephones.

Competition

         The industry in which the Company  operates is  intensely  competitive.
Many of the Company's existing and potential competitors have far more extensive
financial,   engineering,  product  development,   manufacturing  and  marketing
resources than the Company.  The Company's  products and services compete on the
basis of a  number  of  factors,  including,  (i) in the  case of the  equipment
business,  price,  quality,  features and  functions,  reliability,  service and
support and (ii) in the case of the services  business,  amount of  compensation
paid to payphone providers and pricing of long-distance  services.  There can be
no assurance  that  competitors  will not  introduce  products  and/or  services
incorporating technology as advanced or more advanced than the Company's or that
changes in the telecommunications environment will not render competitors'


                                        8

<PAGE>



product  solutions more  attractive to customers  than the Company's  solutions.
Competitive  pressures often  necessitate price reductions which the Company may
not be able to achieve or which could adversely  affect profit margins which, in
turn, could adversely affect operating  results.  There can be no assurance that
the  Company  will  be  able  to  compete  successfully  with  existing  or  new
competitors  or  that  competitive  pressures  faced  by the  Company  will  not
materially  and  adversely  affect  its  business,  results  of  operations,  or
financial condition.

Dividend Policy

         The  Company  has  never  paid  cash  dividends  on its  Common  Stock.
Furthermore, the Company currently intends to retain any future earnings for use
in its  business  and does not  expect to pay any cash  dividends  on its Common
Stock in the foreseeable  future.  The Company's  senior secured loan agreements
prohibit the Company from paying  dividends.  Any future change in the Company's
dividend  policy will depend upon the  earnings  and  financial  position of the
Company, the nature of any restrictions on the payment of dividends contained in
debt  agreements  which the Company  has  entered  into or may enter into in the
future and such other  factors as the Board of Directors of the Company may deem
appropriate.

Preferred Stock, Anti-Takeover Provisions

         On August 31, 1998 the Company's  authorized but unissued capital stock
includes  1,000,000  shares  of  preferred  stock,  par  value  $.01  per  share
("Authorized  Preferred Stock"),  of which (i) 2,690 shares are currently issued
and  outstanding  and (ii) 1,310 shares have been converted from Preferred Stock
to Common  Stock.  The rights of the  holders  of shares of Common  Stock may be
adversely  affected by the  preferential  rights  afforded to the holders of the
Preferred  Stock currently  outstanding  and any shares of Authorized  Preferred
Stock that may from time to time be issued by action of the Board of  Directors.
In addition,  the Company's  Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, as well as
the General  Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("DGCL"),  contain certain
provisions that may have the effect of  discouraging an unsolicited  acquisition
proposal.  Furthermore, upon a change in control of the Company, options granted
under the Company's stock option plans become immediately exercisable.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

         The proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby
are solely for the account of the Selling Stockholders. Accordingly, the Company
will receive none of the proceeds from the sale thereof.

                              SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

         The Selling  Stockholders  are  certain  persons  who  provided  equity
financing to the Company.  The shares of Common Stock covered by this Prospectus
are  being  registered  to  permit  secondary  trading  and so that the  Selling
Stockholders  may offer the shares for  resale  from time to time.  See "Plan of
Distribution." Except as described below, none of the Selling


                                        9

<PAGE>



Stockholders  has had a material  relationship  with the Company within the past
three  years  other than as a result of the  ownership  of the Common  Stock and
other securities of the Company.

         The following  table sets forth the names of the Selling  Stockholders,
the number of shares of Common Stock owned  beneficially  by each of the Selling
Stockholders  as of October  26,  1998,  and the  number of shares  which may be
offered  for resale  pursuant  to this  Prospectus  regardless  of whether  such
Selling Stockholder has a present intent to sell.

         The information  included below is based upon  information  provided by
the Selling Stockholders as of the date of this Prospectus.  Because the Selling
Stockholders  may offer all,  some or none of their shares of Common  Stock,  no
definite  estimate as to the number of shares  thereof  that will be held by the
Selling Stockholders after such offering can be provided and the following table
has been prepared on the assumption  that the  conversion  price is $1.40184 and
that all shares of Common Stock offered under this Prospectus will be sold.

(1) Unless  otherwise  indicated in the footnotes to this table, the persons and
entities  named in the table  have sole  voting and sole  investment  power with
respect to all shares beneficially owned.

(2) Each of the Selling  Stockholders  holds shares of Preferred Stock which are
convertible  into shares of Common Stock.  Each share of Preferred  Stock may be
converted into a number of shares of Common Stock, at the option of each Selling
Stockholder,  at a conversion  price equal to the lesser of $5.05 per share (the
"Fixed Conversion Price") or eighty percent (80%) of the volume weighted average
fifteen day trading price preceding the date of conversion. The number of shares
of  Common  Stock  being  offered  by each  Selling  Stockholder  is  based on a
contractual  agreement between the Selling  Stockholder and the Company.  As the
conversion price is variable,  the number of shares  registered for sale by each
designated Selling Stockholder may


                                       10

be substantially more or less than the number of shares into which its shares of
Preferred  Stock are ultimately  converted.  In accordance with the terms of the
Preferred  Stock,  each listed  Selling  Stockholder  can convert into shares of
Common  Stock  only to the  extent  that the  number of shares  issued  thereby,
combined  with the  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock  held by such  Selling
Stockholder,  would not exceed 4.9% of the then  outstanding  Common  Stock,  as
determined  in  accordance  with  Rule  13d-3 of the  1934  Act.  Pursuant  to a
securities  purchase  agreement,  the Company  agreed to register  the shares of
Common Stock at its cost and to remove the restriction on free  transferability.
The Company has no  knowledge  as to when or if any of the Selling  Stockholders
will convert any of their shares of Preferred Stock or desire to offer shares of
Common Stock upon such conversion for sale upon the open market.  For a complete
description  of the rights of  holders of  Preferred  Stock,  see the  Company's
Current  Report on Form 8-K dated  July 21,  1997 as  amended  by the Form 8-K/A

convertible into shares of Common Stock subject to the 4.9% ownership limitation
described above. CC Investments, LDC beneficially owns 1,000 shares of Preferred
Stock. Absent the 4.9% limitation those shares would be convertible into 776,553
shares of Common Stock,  or 7.3% of the  outstanding  shares of Common Stock, at
the  $1.40184  conversion  price in effect on October  26,  1998.  Castle  Creek

may be  deemed  to have  voting  control  and  investment  discretion  over  the
securities  held by CC Investments,  LDC.  Castle Creek Partners,  LLC disclaims
beneficial  ownership of all securities  owned by CC  Investments,  LDC.  Daniel
Asher and John Ziegelman may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of the Common
Stock and Preferred Stock held by CC Investments, LDC. Mr. Asher and Mr. 
Ziegelman disclaim such beneficial ownership.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

         The Company is  registering  the shares of Common Stock  offered by the
Selling Stockholders hereunder pursuant to contractual registration rights.

         The shares of Common Stock  offered  hereunder may be sold from time to
time by the Selling Stockholders,  or by pledgees,  donees, transferees or other
successors in interest.  Such sales may be made on the New York Stock  Exchange,
on any exchange or market on which the Common  Stock is listed for  trading,  in
the over-the-counter  market, in privately negotiated  transactions or otherwise
at prices and on terms then  prevailing  or related to the then  current  market
price, or such other prices as the Selling  Stockholders  determine from time to
time.  The  shares  of  Common  Stock  may be  sold  to or  through  one or more
broker-dealers,  acting as agent or principal in underwritten  offerings,  block
trades, agency placements,  exchange  distributions,  brokerage  transactions or
otherwise,  or in any  combination of  transactions.  The shares of Common Stock
hereunder may be used to settle short sales of Common Stock or options held by a
Selling Stockholder.

         In  connection  with  any  transaction   involving  the  Common  Stock,
broker-dealers or others may receive from the Selling  Stockholders,  and may in
turn  pay to  other  broker-dealers  or  others,  compensation  in the  form  of
commissions,  discounts or  concessions in amounts to be negotiated at the time.
Broker-dealers  and any other persons  participating  in a  distribution  of the
Common Stock may be deemed to be  "underwriters"  within the meaning of the 1933
Act in connection with such distribution, and any such commissions, discounts or
concessions may be deemed to be underwriting  discounts or commissions under the
1933 Act.

         Any and all of the sales or other  transactions  involving  the  Common
Stock described above, whether effected by the Selling Stockholders,  any broker
dealer or others,  may be made  pursuant to this  Prospectus.  In addition,  any
shares of Common Stock that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933
Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than  pursuant to this  Prospectus.  There
can be no  assurances  that all or any of the  shares  of Common  Stock  offered
hereby will be issued to, or sold by, the Selling Stockholders.

         To comply with the securities  laws of certain  states,  if applicable,
the Common Stock may be sold in such  jurisdictions  only through  registered or
licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, shares of Common Stock may not be sold
unless they have been  registered  or qualified  for sale or an  exemption  from
registration  or  qualification  requirements  is available and is complied with
under applicable state securities laws.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Delaware General Corporation Law

         Section 145(a) of the General  Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
(the "DGCL")  provides that 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, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative  (other than an action by or in the right of the  corporation)  by
reason of the fact that he 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,  partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorney's fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by him in  connection  with such action,  suit or proceeding if he acted in good
faith and in a manner he 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 conduct was unlawful.



                                      II-1

<PAGE>



         Section  145(b) of the DGCL provides  that 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 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,  partnership,  joint  venture,  trust  or other
enterprise against expenses (including  attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by him in  connection  with the defense or settlement of such action or
suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he  reasonably  believed to be in
or not  opposed to the best  interests  of the  corporation  and except  that no
indemnification  shall be made in respect  of any  claim,  issue or matter as to
which such  person  shall  have been  adjudged  to be liable to the  corporation
unless and only to the extent  that the Court of  Chancery or the court in which
such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application  that,  despite
the adjudication of liability but in view of all the  circumstances of the case,
such person is fairly and  reasonably  entitled to indemnity  for such  expenses
which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

         Section 145(c) of the DGCL provides that 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  in
subsections  (a) and (b) of Section  145,  or in defense of any claim,  issue or
matter therein, he shall be indemnified  against expenses (including  attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

         Section  145(d) of the DGCL  provides  that any  indemnification  under
subsections  (a) and (b) of Section 145 (unless  ordered by the court)  shall 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  because he has met the  applicable  standard of
conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145. Such  determination
shall  be made (1) by the  board of  directors  by a  majority  vote of a quorum
consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding,
or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable,  or, even if obtainable,  if a quorum
of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion, or (3) by the stockholders.

         Section 145(e) of the DGCL provides that expenses (including attorneys'
fees)  incurred  by an officer or  director in  defending  any civil,  criminal,
administrative  or investigative  action,  suit or proceeding may be paid by the
corporation  in  advance  of the  final  disposition  of  such  action,  suit or
proceeding  upon receipt of an  undertaking  by or on behalf of such director or
officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not
entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in Section 145. Such
expenses (including  attorneys' fees) incurred by other employees and agents may
be so paid upon such terms and  conditions,  if any,  as the board of  directors
deems appropriate.

Certificate of Incorporation

         Article Tenth of the Company's  Certificate of  Incorporation  provides
that a director of the Company shall not be personally  liable to the Company or
its  stockholders  for  monetary  damages  for  breach  of  fiduciary  duty as a
director,  except for  liability  (i) for any breach of the  director's  duty of
loyalty to the Company or its  stockholders,  (ii) for acts or omissions  not in
good faith or which involve  intentional  misconduct  or a knowing  violation of
law,  (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for any  transaction  in which
the director derived an improper personal benefit.

         Article Tenth of the Company's  Certificate  of  Incorporation  further
provides  that the Company  shall  indemnify  to the full extent  authorized  or
permitted  by law any person  made,  or  threatened  to be made,  a party to any
action or proceeding  (whether  civil or criminal or otherwise) by reason of the
fact that he, his testator or intestate,  is or was a director or officer of the
Company, or is or was serving any other corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, in any capacity.

Bylaws

         Article I of the  Company's  Bylaws  provides  that the  Company  shall
indemnify to the same extent as provided in its Certificate of Incorporation any
person  made,  or  threatened  to be made,  a party to any action or  proceeding
(whether  civil or  criminal  or  otherwise)  by reason of the fact that he, his
testator or intestate,  is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or
was serving any other corporation,  partnership,  joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise, in any capacity.

Indemnification Agreements

         The  Company  has  entered   into   Indemnification   Agreements   (the
"Indemnification  Agreements")  pursuant  to which it has  agreed  to  indemnify
certain of its directors and officers against judgments, claims, damages, losses
and expenses  incurred as a result of the fact that any party thereto is, was or
has agreed to become a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or is
or was  serving or has agreed to serve in any  capacity,  at the  request of the
Company, in any other corporation,  partnership, joint venture, employee benefit
plan, trust or other  enterprise,  to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law and in  accordance  with the terms and  conditions  set forth  therein.  The
Indemnification  Agreements also provide for the advancement of certain expenses
to the directors and officers  party  thereto and authorize  such  directors and
officers to commence litigation in a court of competent  jurisdiction to seek an
initial  determination as to whether  indemnification  is proper or to challenge
any  action  of  the  Board  of   Directors   of  the   Company   denying   them
indemnification.  The Indemnification Agreements also provide that, in the event
that the indemnification  provided for thereunder is for any reason unavailable,
the  Company  shall  contribute  to the amount  incurred  by the  directors  and
officers party thereto in such  proportion as is fair and reasonable in light of
all the circumstances.

         Exhibit Numbers            Document
         ---------------            --------

               5.1        Opinion of Kane, Russell, Coleman & Logan, P.C.,
                          filed herewith

              23.1        Consent of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, previously
                          filed

              24.1        Power of Attorney of certain officers and directors
                          (included in Part II of this Registration Statement
                          on the signature page hereto)

Item 17. Undertakings.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),  may be permitted to  directors,  officers,
and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to provisions  described in Item
15, or  otherwise,  the  Company  has been  advised  that in the  opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the 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 a director,  officer or controlling
person  of the  Company  in  the  successful  defense  of any  action,  suit  or
proceeding)  is  asserted by such  director,  officer or  controlling  person in
connection with the securities being registered, 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 Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

         The undersigned Company 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 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; and



                                      II-4

<PAGE>



                      (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) do not apply if the  information  required to be included in a post
effective  amendment  by these paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed
with or furnished to the Commission  by the  Company  pursuant  to  Section  13
or  Section  15(d) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange  Act")
that are  incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

                  (2) That, for the purpose of determining  any liability  under
the Act, each post-effective  amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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.

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

                  (4) That, for purposes of determining  any liability under the
Act,  each filing of the Company's  annual  report  pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Exchange  Act (and,  where  applicable,  each filing of an employee
benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that
is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
the 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.

         The  undersigned  registrant  hereby  undertakes  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 an
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.

         Re:      Registration Statement on Form S-3

Dear Sirs:

         We have acted as counsel to  Intellicall, Inc.,  a Delaware corporation
(the  "Company"),  in  connection  with the preparation and filing with the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  under the  Securities  Act of 1933 of a
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the  "Registration  Statement")  relating
to the  registration of 4,177,855 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's Common
Stock, par value of $.01 per share.

         In so acting,  we have examined  originals,  or copies  otherwise
identified to our  satisfaction,  of such corporate records,  documents,  
certificates and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or 
appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below.

         We are of the following opinion:

         1.       The Company has been duly  incorporated  and is validly  
existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of 
Delaware.

         2.       The Shares have been duly  authorized  and, when issued upon  
conversion of the  Company's  Preferred  Stock, will be validly issued, 
fully paid and non-assessable.

         We consent to the use of this  opinion as an exhibit to the  
Registration  Statement  and to the use of our name under the "Legal Matters" 
in the Registration Statement.

                                    Very truly yours,

                                    KANE, RUSSELL, COLEMAN & LOGAN, P.C.



                                    By:    ________________________________
