You have planned a business trip overseas, organised
your luggage, packed your toothbrush, bought a carry-bag for your
laptop and are sitting at the airport waiting to board the plane.
In the back of your mind, you can not help but think, "Have I forgotten
anything?"
Business travellers and internet junkies alike frequently neglect to subscribe to a global roaming plan for their internet access whilst overseas or in some cases, interstate.
Net Roamer has a product suited for anybody wanting
to get internet access whilst away from home anywhere. They currently
have roaming facilities in 150 counties with in excess of 21,000 access
points. Subscribers can access the internet via Dial-up, ISDN, Wired
Broadband and Wi-fi each rated in one minute increments. Supported software
includes Windows 98, 2000, ME, XP and NT and also offer services for
MACs with OS.9x and OSX.
Net Roamer does not have any minimum usage restrictions,
no signup fee, no cancellation fee and provide free software and a free
30 minute trial.
Rates for Dial Up and ISDN services are
$0.25 per minute ($15.00 per hour) when roaming from anywhere. Your
calls will be charged by the minute, rounded to the next full minute.
Rates apply to all Dial Up and ISDN services and all locations except
non-North America and Canada TOLL FREE. Non-North America and Canada
TOLL FREE rate is $0.30 per minute. Broadband rates are generally
around $0.25 per minute from anywhere with no minimum usage nor any
caps. Full price inforation is available on the Net Roamer web site
(see link below)..
Subscribers are charged a $5.00 administrative
fee, charged per month only for those months when the service is used.
There is no charge for months when the service is not used. All
subscribers are given the first 30 minutes of roaming free, to
enable them to test, evaluate and become comfortable with the service.
Net Roamer spokesperson, Frank Fiore commented,
"We dont claim to be the only roaming service provider nor
to be the cheapest. We do claim to be the best. Our motto is Professional,
Personal Service. We keep our rate structure simple so there is no
confusion. We provide individualized live support. We dont even have
one of those madening voice mail menus that you get with most support
services, which keep you hanging for eternities before you finally
get to talk to a live human. We are all seasoned travelers, so know
what it is like to be on the road and can identify with the needs
of our subscribers."
Fiore additionally revealed future plans for Net
Roamer, including an increase in the number of broadband access points
available in the next two years, and making available a low-cost worldwide
calling service via a VoIP like application.
Several testimonials to Net Roamer are available
to peruse on their website, each revealing a high level of satisfaction
with the service they received. One customer from Bethesda, MD commented,
"Thank you. I have to say that your service
is great - it works just as advertised! I had no problem downloading
from Washington, DC; Houston; Mexico City or Veracruz! Easy and painless,
just as I'd like. Kudos all round."
