M-Web has launched a prepaid Internet dial-up access service, Quicksurf, aimed at the foreign tourist market staying in hotels and guesthouses.
"Internet access is increasingly becoming a requirement for all travellers," says Derek Hershaw, GM of M-Web Connect. "Many hotels and guesthouses don`t want to install permanent network connections due to the cost involved. The Quicksurf product therefore provides a convenient way for tourists to get access using only their laptop and a regular phone line."
Quicksurf retails at R79 and provides two weeks` unlimited Internet access via the M-Web network.
"Users get full access to the Internet via M-Web, including the ability to access Web-based e-mail services offered by their ISP [Internet service provider], corporate network or free Web mail services such as Hotmail," says Hershaw.
Quicksurf cards can be purchased via travel agents or directly from hotels. "Once the card has been purchased there will be no additional charges for access, although the user will need to pay the provider of the phone line for any time spent online."
