Pay As You Surf from Tiscali

No wires, no plugs, no network cables - and anytime, anywhere, access to the Internet over any device...this is Tiscali`s promise with its Pay As You Surf Internet service.

"Connecting to the Internet while on the move has never been easier or more convenient," says Julie-Anne Doyle, Head of Consumer Products at Tiscali. "With Pay As You Surf Internet access, how much you spend connecting to the Internet when you are travelling is up to you. There are no monthly fees, so no matter where in SA you are, you can go online and pay only for the cost of the call."

The service - available only within SA`s borders - is particularly useful for overseas visitors needing access to e-mail and the Internet, or to business travellers who need to access these services while on the move, whether from their cellular phone, laptop or PDA. By dialling into Vodacom`s GSM network - thus an 082 number - these users can have instant access at the cost of a call.

"With Pay As You Surf, the mobile Internet is now a reality, enabling people to connect with each other, and their data while they are travelling. For decision-makers this is especially important as it allows them to make informed decisions and be accessible at any time, no matter where they are."

Another benefit of this service is that the registration and activation process is instant. Tiscali also offers users a 10MB mailbox with five e-mail addresses, and technical support 24-hours a day.

"At the end of the day there is only one thing better than having the Internet on your desktop - and that is having it in the palm of your hand no matter where you are!"
