                                                                 EXHIBIT 20.1

                   SA TELECOMMUNICATIONS SIGNS LETTER OF INTENT
                      TO ACQUIRE ADDTEL COMMUNICATIONS, INC.

DALLAS, TEXAS, December 10, 1996 -- SA Telecommunications, Inc. (NASDAQ-STEL)
and Addtel Communications, Inc. today jointly announced that they signed a
letter of intent for STEL to acquire all of the stock of Addtel, a private
California-based switchless reseller offering retail and wholesale long distance
services in California and nine other states. The transaction is currently
anticipated to be completed by year-end. 

Addtel's unaudited revenues for the year ended May 31, 1996 were approximately
$16.5 million and for the four month period ended September 30, 1996, unaudited
revenues were approximately $9.7 million.  Consummation of the transaction is
subject to various terms and conditions, including but not limited to
satisfactory completion of the Company's due diligence review of Addtel, an
audit of Addtel's financial statements, and regulatory approvals. 

Mr. Jack W. Matz, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SA 
Telecommunications, Inc. stated "Today's announcement represents a 
continuation of the Company's overall strategy to continue to grow through 
internal growth and acquisitions.  The primary consideration for STEL 
management was the fact that we can use Addtel's sales channels for our full 
service line of telecommunications products.  In addition, Addtel is an 
excellent choice because its primary customer market is adjacent to our 
footprint in the southwest United States, which we believe makes a logical 
extension of our network."

Mr. Tony C. Lonstein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Addtel 
Communications, Inc. stated: "We recognize that the potential advantages of 
joining with a strong switch-based carrier will significantly enhance our 
ability to be a full service provider to our existing customers and agents.  
These additional services will include paging, Internet access, wireless 
service, enhanced debit cards and local service resale."

In addition, on May 31, 1996, STEL's stockholders approved a proposed reverse
stock split of not less than one share of Common Stock for every two shares of
the Company's then issued Common Stock nor more than one share of Common Stock
for every three shares of the Company's then issued Common Stock, subject to the
Board of Directors of the Company determining whether such reverse stock split
is in the best interests of the Company and setting the specific exchange ratio.
On November 27, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors determined not to
effect a reverse stock split at this time and may or may not reconsider the 
matter at a later date.

SA Telecommunications, Inc.,  headquartered in Richardson, Texas, is a 
regional, full service, switched-based interexchange carrier, and an 
authorized reseller of Southwestern Bell's local telephone services in Texas, 
with operations, sales, offices and customer service centers situated 
throughout a contiguous eight state region in 26 locations.  The Company 
serves primarily commercial accounts in the southwestern and south central 
United States, providing its customers voice, Internet access, wireless, and 
other advanced data services, originating and terminating service over its 
own network facilities.
