A perfect travel companion, the UbiSurfer is a connected netbook that delivers fast, easy and free internet access. Utilising an embedded SIM, the UbiSurfer allows you to surf the web anytime, anywhere, for FREE! You only need to pay for the device, not the usage, since 1,800 minutes of web access for a full year on Vodafone’s Australia wireless network is included in the cost of the device. The UbiSurfer also includes WiFi connectivity for unlimited internet within hot-spot range. In addition to WiFi and LAN connectivity, the embedded cellular modem, empowers the UbiSurfer to get you on the Internet easily, wherever you have mobile phone signal, thus making the Internet truly ubiquitous.

Mobile broadband wherever you are

The UbiSurfer is revolutionizing the concept of mobile Internet by offering – FREE USAGE. Included in the price of the UbiSurfer is 30 hours of usage per month free for the first year, more than enough for the average user. DataWind pays the network operator, so you don’t have to. This means:

You pay nothing else, no separate fees to the network operator. No activation fees & no service charges.
Works right out of the box.

How’s it free?

Because of the patented data compression technology that drives the UbiSurfer, our breakthrough client/server architecture reduces the amount of data consumption while maintaining a desktop like web experience. Not only does this make your browsing experience blazingly fast, it also helps to keep the cost down. Whilst network operators are scrambling over themselves to sell the very latest 3G services and contracts to people along with devices that chew up more and more megabytes, the UbiSurfer takes advantage of one of the longest standing and best value data services on the mobile phone network, GPRS. In addition to this, the UbiSurfer also has WiFi and LAN connectivity, allowing you to surf the web for an unlimited period of time, and it’s absolutely FREE!

The cost of running a UbiSurfer is much lower than comparable Netbooks. Alternate netbooks require external wireless data modems, lengthy contracts and hundreds of pounds in annual data fees. With the UbiSurfer, you save hundreds of pounds each year, as we give you 30 hours usage a month for the first year for FREE.

If you use up your free usage hours in a month, your UbiSurfer will stop you from surfing any more, unless you are connected by WiFi or LAN. You will not be charged extra nor will you be permitted to surf on the GPRS network anymore in that month. You will be offered an opportunity at that point in time to upgrade to an unlimited usage plan for a nominal amount per month. There is no contract or credit check for this plan; however a credit card is required to pay for this plan. This can be done at the moment you hit free usage hours or by calling the customer service line at any time and giving the required information.
