Wireless Zones from Telenor - now available to all mobile subscribers

All Telenor mobile customers with invoice-based subscriptions may log on to Telenor Wireless Zones using their own mobile number as their user name, and the same password that they use when accessing Mine Sider at www.telenormobil.no . Customers on prepaid subscription plans and customers registered with other mobile operators may now also access Wireless Zones via an easy-to-use SMS service.

Wireless Zones all over Norway
Wireless Zones provide Internet access to users with laptop PCs with WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) access. Most modern laptop PCs are equipped with such access. Telenor has therefore established Wireless Zones at selected locations all over Norway, at airports, hotels, conference centres, boat harbours and Statoil service stations, more than 400 zones in total. Coverage maps and more detailed information about the service is available on www.telenor.no/bedrift/wlan

What does it cost?
For customers with Telenor mobile subscriptions, access to Wireless Zones is included in their monthly rate. Subscribers only pay for the amounts of data transferred; regardless of whether this is e-mails or web page access. When a web site has been downloaded, users may read through it without any additional cost.

A maximum daily rate has also been introduced, ensuring that subscribers logged on through their mobile subscriptions are never charged more than NOK 120 per day (excl. VAT), regardless of how much data is transferred. Correspondingly, the maximum rate per month will never exceed NOK 900 (excl. VAT) regardless of traffic volumes.

High volume users are also offered the supplementary service Fixed Price Data. All use of Wireless Zones is included in Fixed Price Data, and users are only charged NOK 469 per month (excl. VAT) for all domestic data traffic, whether this is via mobile (GPRS, EDGE or UMTS) or Wireless Zones. Fixed Price Data with Wireless Zone is only available with Business Subscriptions.

strong> Access to all via SMS

Customers on prepaid subscription plans and customers registered with other mobile operators may also log on to Wireless Zones. Customers may order 15 or 30 minutes of Wireless Zone access time by sending text messages TS 15 or TS 30, respectively, to 2000. User names and passwords that will facilitate log on will then immediately be sent via SMS. Users of this service will be charged NOK 30 for 15 minutes and NOK 60 for 30 minutes of access time.
