XCom Global Offers Discount to Students Studying Abroad

San Diego, CA, June 13, 2011 --(PR.com)-- XCom Global, Inc., a leading provider of low cost wireless Internet access rental services for international travelers, announced today it is offering a ten percent discount for students studying abroad. This is an additional discount above the reduced rates for long-term (more than 14 days) rentals. To claim their discount, students must send an e-mail to info@xcomglobal.com to request a special promotion code that can be plugged into the on-line order form. The name of the Study Abroad Program and country should be specified in the e-mail.

According to the Institute of International Education, more than 260,000 U.S. students study abroad each year. “It’s understandable that the families and educational institutions that send these students to foreign countries place a high priority on safety,” said Seiji Nishimura, CEO, XCom Global, Inc. “An accessible and reliable means of communication is critical to any safety plan. With today’s mobile technology it is easier than ever to stay in touch, but when traveling overseas it can be very expensive. International roaming charges can add up quickly and sometimes unexpectedly. One YouTube download can result in hundreds, and in some cases thousands of dollars in charges. With XCom Global’s Unlimited aXcess plan, you pay one low flat rate. And you don’t have to send your students out looking for WiFi connections to study or to communicate, they are connected wherever they go.”

XCom Global’s high-speed Internet access rental service provides international travelers unlimited data usage and the freedom to wirelessly roam abroad at fixed rates starting at $12.95/per day in over 35 selected countries including Canada, Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Japan, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Long term and multiple country discounts are also available. http://xcomglobal.com/plans/

Bundled with the Unlimited aXcess plan, the XCom Global’s MiFi Hotspot rental unit enables instant access to a personal mobile hotspot, so travelers can stay connected wherever they are. Up to five WiFi-enabled devices can use the unit simultaneously allowing the MiFi Hotspot to be shared with traveling companions and saving on multiple usage charges. http://xcomglobal.com/devices/
