TRUCONNECT MOBILE USES THE NATIONWIDE SPRINT NETWORK TO DELIVER LOW-COST MOBILE INTERNET SERVICE
TruConnect Mobile Becomes One of the First Providers of No Contract 3G Data Service for Laptops / iPads
TruConnect Mobile LLC today announced its innovative low-cost 3G laptop and iPad data service on the Sprint (NYSE: S) nationwide network.
The company’s services will provide access to Sprint’s 3G data network now, with future access to its voice and 4G data network. TruConnect Mobile is one of the first mobile virtual network operators (MVNO) to offer low-cost mobile Internet services aimed at business professionals.
With TruConnect’s mobile Internet service, users pay a $4.99 monthly access fee and are charged only for the data they actually use at 3.9 cents per megabyte. The service is provided through a USB 3G dongle or a MiFi WiFi device that can connect up to five devices to the service with no tethering charges. There are no contracts, no activation fees, no monthly bills, no bundled data plans, no expiration of data and no overage charges.
“The world is thinking differently about mobile data services which means users are asking for more control over their data plans, instead of being forced into high-priced, contract-based plans,” said Kevin Hamilton, president and CEO of TruConnect. “The nationwide Sprint network allows us to ensure delivery of our services no matter where our customers go and we’re pleased to be partnering with such an industry leader.”
"We've had more than 10 years' experience with our wireless wholesale services and are looking forward to leveraging that with a new generation of MVNOs," said Bill Esrey Jr., Vice President, Sprint Wholesale Solutions. “TruConnect’s services will certainly be of interest to business users and anyone looking for flexible mobile data and we’re pleased to have the company join our network.”
