CERTIFICATION

I, Boland T. Jones, certify that:

1. I have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form
  10-Q of Premiere Global Services, Inc;

2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not
  contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
  fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under
  which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered
  by this report;

3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements,
  and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all
  material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows
  of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

4. The registrants other certifying officer
  and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
  procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal
  control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f)
  and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:

| | (a) | Designed such disclosure controls and procedures,
        or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under
        our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the registrant,
        including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others
        within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report
        is being prepared;     
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| | (b) | Designed such internal control over financial
        reporting, or caused such internal control over financial reporting to
        be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding
        the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
        statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
        accounting principles;            
|
| | (c) | Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrants
        disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions
        about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as
        of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation;
        and                                                                                                        
|
| | (d) | Disclosed in this report any change in the
        registrants internal control over financial reporting that occurred
        during the registrants most recent fiscal quarter (the registrants
        fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially
        affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrants
        internal control over financial reporting.

5. The registrants other certifying officer
  and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control
  over financial reporting, to the registrants auditors and the audit committee
  of the registrants board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
  functions):

| | (a) | all significant deficiencies and material
        weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial
        reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrants
        ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information;
        and
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| | (b) | any fraud, whether or not material, that involves
        management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrants
        internal control over financial reporting.
