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.
