ICOA Partners with iPhoneTrip to Offer Data Sim Cards

WARWICK, R.I., Feb. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ICOA, Inc. (OTCPK: ICOA) today is pleased to announce that it has entered into a National Distribution Agreement with iPhoneTrip.com to offer ICOA's Wi-Fi end users and other customers rentals of SIM Cards and iPhones for both local and overseas travel at attractive pricing over competitors.

As international travel increases worldwide, many travelers are looking to experience the comfort and reliability of traveling with their own smartphones and tablet computers. But using your device overseas can easily leave users with the ultimate "bill shock" – hundreds and even thousands of dollars in data roaming charges. iPhoneTrip.com provides travelers with a cost effective, seamless solution. By using Data SIM Cards from iPhoneTrip.com, the smart device user avoids data roaming charges while abroad and guarantees 3G/GPRS internet connection in 193 countries over the globe.     

The newly established affiliation between iPhoneTrip.com and ICOA, Inc. will allow ICOA's customers to travel across the globe with Data SIM Cards and enjoy the same comforts they currently enjoy stateside - the ability to use their own smartphones and tablet computers online, even when thousands of miles from home. The savings and peace of mind that comes with having 3G access globally is one any modern-day traveler is happy to embrace.

ICOA Inc. is excited about the opportunity of bringing added value to its Wi-Fi customers. Partnering with iPhoneTrip.com is set to bring additional benefits, convenience and savings to customers, especially ones who require large amounts of data traffic both abroad and domestically. 

iPhoneTrip.com's CEO, David Lipovkov, stated: "We are delighted at the opportunity to offer our services to thousands of ICOA's Wi-Fi end users. We believe that our partnership will bring enormous benefits and savings, while allowing ICOA to expand into new products, utilizing both companies' strengths and expertize in the mobile data industry."
