How's it free?

Because of the patented data compression technology that drives the PocketSurfer2, it only transfers the absolute minimum of data between your hand and our servers. Not only does this make your browsing experience blazingly fast, it also helps to keep the cost down. Whilst networks operators are scrambling over themselves to sell the very latest 3G services and contracts to people along with devices that chew up more and more megabytes, the PocketSurfer2 takes advantage of one of the longest standing and best value data services on the mobile phone network, GPRS.

The cost of running a PocketSurfer2 is much lower than a comparable Mobile Internet Devices.So much so, that 20 hours usage a month for the first year is included in the price. To carry on using the PockerSurfer2 for another year costs less than £40 and if you want to have unlimited usage it's only £5.99 per month. For the averge user the cost is far less than running a home PC!

If you use up your free usage hours in a month, your PocketSurfer2 will stop you from surfing any more. You will not be charged extra nor will you be permitted to surf any more in that month. You will be offered an opportunity at that point in time to upgrade to an unlimited usage plan for a nominal amount per month. There is no contract or credit check for this plan; however a credit card is required to pay for this plan. This can be done at the moment you hit free usage hours or by calling the customer service line at any time and giving the required information.
