Annapolis, Maryland and Chantilly, Virginia - November 7, 2002 - InTouch USA, America´s first provider of global cellular rentals for international travelers, and iJET Travel Intelligence (iJET), the travel risk management company, today announced a strategic partnership to co-market WorldLink-a service which provides iJET´s travel intelligence and assistance services via InTouch USA´s international cellular and satellite phones.

Through this service, iJET will deliver real-time alerts to a traveler´s international phone regarding situations that may impact their trip. Travelers receive these alerts as brief text messages delivered to their phone, providing immediate notice of emerging or evolving conditions, along with recommendations for minimizing disruptions. Every day, iJET warns thousands of travelers around the world about transportation strikes, civil unrest, disease outbreaks, severe weather, new visa rules, terrorist activities and more.

In addition to real-time wireless alerts, WorldLink provides travelers with access to a personalized Web site provided by iJET that contains detailed destination intelligence tailored to each traveler based on their itinerary and personal profile. Travelers can also use an InTouch USA wireless international phone to connect to iJET´s 24/7 medical and travel assistance center for help with travel problems including medical referrals, emergency claims assistance, passport replacement and legal referrals.

"Staying informed of changing conditions while traveling abroad saves time, money and even lives," said iJET´s Vice President of Partnerships, Ken Lesniak. "Transportation problems, civil unrest and terrorist activities represent just a few of the disruptions regularly faced by international travelers. Through WorldLink, travelers can feel secure knowing that their itinerary is being monitored 24/7, that they will be contacted if there is a development that may affect their trip, and that travel assistance is just a call away."

"InTouch USA´s partnership with iJET will offer unparalleled service and peace of mind to international travelers by providing global communications, real-time travel alerts, and immediate assistance" said InTouch USA´s Managing Director Lynn Klar. Based in the Capitol region, InTouch USA has provided wireless communications since 1987 to Global and Fortune 500 companies, the IMF/World Bank, the United Nations and White House staffers on international travel.
