Questions have been raised about the viability and background of Zer01, the new wireless carrier in the US who promise unlimited mobile service for voice and data. Earlier this week, a Network World report suggested that Mark Petschel, the CEO of Global Verge - the marketing firm recruiting people to sell Zer01 service – has a background in securities fraud and is currently on probation.
It seems to have taken some time, but Zer01’s “truly unlimited” wireless service is now available across the US. $69.95 each month gets you unlimited voice, data and mobile web access on your Windows Mobile device; $10 per month more and they’ll throw in free international calling to 40 destinations.
A new cellular carrier based out of Las Vegas has started up their new service featuring an unlimited calling and unlimited data plan. Zer01 Communications is giving customers the chance, starting in June, to utilize their data and cellular services as much as they want for $70 a month. $69.95 will buy you uncapped data and unlimited calling, meaning you can surf the internet all you want on an available WinMo device, or a bring-your-own unlocked GSM BlackBerry or Android phone. I’m assuming you’ll be able to tether those devices and use the data with your laptop too.
As promised, Zer01 Mobile have announced the commercial launch date for their unlimited voice and data cellphone service. The package – which is priced at $69.95 per month, and uses a proprietary VoIP system to route voice calls over the data network – will be available for new users to sign up to from July 1st 2009.
Further details of Zer01 Mobile’s VoIP service have emerged, suggesting that the carrier will not only use AT&T’s network, as first reported, but has interconnect agreements with several US carriers. The $69.99 monthly fee gets unlimited calling in the US and unlimited data; a further $10 per month adds unlimited international calls to 40 destinations.
A new MVNO called ZER01 Mobile is promising unlimited voice and data access for just $69.95 per month, with no contract, using AT&T’s network and a proprietary VoIP application. Unusually for VoIP, ZER01’s system promises successful voice calls even on GPRS and EDGE connections, something previously unseen.
