24/1 - HOW FREE CAN YOU GO?
The X-Stream Network, the UK's first free ISP, offers FREE 0800 calls for 24 hours this Saturday 17th July
London, Thursday 15th July 1999 - The X-Stream Network, the UK's first free ISP, today announces 24 hours of completely free 0800 calls from midnight on Friday 16th July until midnight on Saturday 17th July.
This will enable UK Internet users to connect to the Internet completely free of charge for a whole day. Unlike subscribing to other free ISPs, there is no need to change your 'phone number or your telephone company to access this free calls offer. It is free to register and that is the only pre-requisite to qualify for 100% free Internet access including free calls this Saturday.
Users can register for free on-line at x-stream.com - or telephone 0800 358 5678 for a free CD containing the software.
Paul Myers, Managing Director of X-Stream UK, comments, "This is a new X-Stream initiative. It's simple. 24/1 ? 24 hours of completely free Internet access in the UK. As usual when it comes to Internet firsts, X-Stream is the name behind the action. We want as many people as possible to access the Internet for free. This latest offer is a thank you to our subscribers and we hope it will save those who have not yet already discovered the X-Stream Network from a fate worse than debt!"
Greg Sukornyk, Chief Executive of the X-Stream Network, added, "X-Stream is dedicated to improving the content and service available to our users. When we launched X-StreamailPlus last month we substantially increased our users. This tells us what our users want and as a purely Internet-focused company we are responsive to that. This free 0800 Saturday is the latest in a series of offers from X-Stream ? and it will not be the last."
X-Stream subscribers will continue to be notified of free-calls offers and X-Stream continues to add services and content to its site where users already benefit from unified messaging with X-StreamailPlus and information provided by Carlton Online, Associated New Media and Blue Square.
