Alltel Wireless and Motricity announced a new deal, offering customers the ability to purchase a “Day Pass” — allowing access to the Internet via their phone on a daily basis.
The new Day Pass option provides customers 24 hours of access to Internet-based content via Alltel’s Axcess Web service. Alltel customers with Web-capable handsets now have free and immediate access to a “basic” level of Axcess Web service, which provides teaser information (snapshots of news, sports and weather). Of course, Alltel bundled mobile content store with the new offering, giving users an ability to shop directly from their phones for ringbacks, ringtones and wallpaper, without any type of subscription or Day Pass required.
Customers wishing to utilize “premium” Axcess Web content on a trial or per-use basis, can purchase the Day Pass for $1.49 and receive 24-hour access to expanded content including games, news and sports information.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
