Brussels – September 23 2015. Mobistar gives customers who have a smartphone, but don’t have mobile data in their package, up to 1,25 GB. So they have a chance to discover all the advantages of mobile Internet. This is how Mobistar supports the 'Surf Mobile' campaign initiated by the Belgian telecom regulator BIPT who wants to boost the use of mobile internet in Belgium.
Discover mobile internet for free
The objective of the campaign ‘Surf Mobile’, initiated by BIPT is to make mobile Internet more widely known to the general public. Happy to participate Mobistar offers every customer who owns a smartphone, but who’s not using it for mobile surfing, gets up to 1.25 GB free data volume for 31 days in order to discover just how useful mobile internet can be in their day to day life.
Concretely, Prepaid customers who own a smartphone and have a Kangaroo subscription receive no less than 1 GB of mobile data for free, and post-paid customers with a Kangaroo subscription up to 1.25 GB to make the most of the opportunities that mobile surfing offers. They have 31 days to use this mobile data.
And thanks to the “My Mobistar” application, customers can monitor their mobile data usage, anywhere and anytime. In addition, they receive a text message when they've used 80% and 100% of their data volume. When the available data volume is exhausted, then mobile Internet automatically becomes unavailable. Unless the customer decides to purchase additional volume, of course.
Free assistance and advice in the Mobistar Concept Stores
To assist customers in their discovery process, Mobistar is organising information sessions in the Mobistar Concept Stores in Brussels, Antwerp and Liège on Saturday 3 and 10 October 2015. In other Mobistar shops, data coaches will assist inexperienced customers (list of participating Mobistar shops available on www.mobistar.be/surfmobile).
Chief Consumer Officer Cristina Zanchi concludes: “With our campaign, we want to offer our customers who are totally unfamiliar with mobile Internet the chance to explore mobile data. Free mobile data volume and the quality of our network will give them a chance to discover all the advantages of using mobile data.”
