Mobile internet flat fee

I’ve been checking my email and rss feeds quite often on my mobile phone. Expenses with mobile access were getting pretty high. Finally my Portuguese telecom operator (TMN) has launched a flat fee internet access.

I wanted to know more about the new plan so I decided to visit their website. What a mess. How come these days companies still produce micro sites that make it hard to find all of the needed information.

There are a couple of problems. There’s the splash page (non-useful animated intro flash page). Them, because the site is also flash, it’s not easily indexable by google so some people will have a hard time finding it. When you finally decide to join you call the number (12300) and get another 30 seconds of selling pitch stating again all the advantages of the product via a recorded message.

I’m tempted to say that for such a simple product a simple one page (what, price, how to join) would be enough. Hey, but this is corporate stuff so no simple site is allowed.

Maybe I can do it in one post!

What
Mobile internet access with a flat fee.
You pay a price for unlimited time of use with limited bandwidth (100Mb).

Price
7,5 euros per month or 0,99 euros per day.

How can I join ?
Call 12300 and press 1.

There. That wasn’t that hard.

Well…
Being a TMN customer, you made me aware of this plan. It does seem extremely useful for our “internet blessed souls”… and another reason to be online 24/7… errrr… minus sleep time (don’t wanna get my we… errr… dreams online! :p)
I didn’t know this blog anyway, but I’ll keep it under radar

Take care ~EinZteiN aka Levi Figueira

I know! Both the coolness factor and the microsite…

Now all I can do is sit tight and wait for Vodafone to get up with the program.
