MaGlobe Gives Free Internet Access to Travelers 

Limited-Time Offer Keeps Business and Leisure Travelers Connected for Free 

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 23, 2001 – MaGlobe Inc., www.maglobe.com, offering global Internet access service for the traveler, today announced a free trial program for business and leisure travelers. For a limited time, users who download MaGlobe's prepaid global Internet access software will stay net-connected for free, without expensive long distance charges, from major international destinations, for up to 60 minutes. Anyone who tries MaGlobe's hassle-free, one-step service will appreciate the convenient, universal, reliable access to their personal e-mail and other online services, no matter where they travel.

MaGlobe features the world's first prepaid global Internet access, with online activation, truly simple access and easy renewal. Travelers just click on their current location, and an auto-dialer finds the nearest local dialup number. One click, and the user is on the Net, able to access existing e-mail accounts and other personal or business Internet services. Five thousand local access numbers around the globe make the service available from every major travel destination. By year's end that number will swell by an additional 7,000 access numbers, providing local access from an expanding global network of cities.

"We want travelers to get a taste of how incredibly painless it can be to access the Internet when they're away from home," said Dan Moss, Director of Sales and Marketing at MaGlobe. "We are confident that once they experience the MaGlobe advantage, people will be eager to continue their account with us. Our six tiers of service offer something for every traveler's online needs, with basic prepaid service starting at just under $15."

MaGlobe's prepaid global access begins at only $14.99 for MaGlobe Traveler. The one-hour free trial program is available only at this basic service level. To qualify, the user must register with MaGlobe and submit valid credit information. Using more than 60 minutes of access, or failure to cancel by the end of the 30-day trial period, will constitute paid renewal of the MaGlobe account. The 60-minute free trial will more than cover most travelers' e-mail access needs during a typical vacation trip.

MaGlobe provides tiered service through three different products: Traveler, Globetrotter, and Enterprise. Each service package is available in a standard and a "plus" version, for a total of six different service levels that will suit any traveler's needs. Prices range from $14.99 for Traveler to $499.99 for Enterprise Plus. For more information about fee structures, service tiers and how to hook into the global MaGlobe network of products and services, please see the company's Web site, www.maglobe.com.
