The real internet on the mobile phone has been limited to users of premier mobile phones in the past. But now, Telefónica O2 Germany presents a solution for the broad mass. Effective immediately, O2 customers will be able to load the new and free Internet-to-Go browser on their mobile phone to surf the web like they are used to from their PC. The new browser is based on the Opera Mini 4.1 version and enables users to represent single sections of the sites more rapidly and also magnify them on the display of their mobile phone. The costs for surfing the net on the mobile phone amount to only 9 cents per minute or. Users who want to surf the web almost without any limitations will pay € 10 a month.
O2 Internet-to-Go enables users to view web sites they access on their mobile phones in the format they are familiar with from the PC or laptop. O2 customers who do not yet have a mobile phone which is internet compatible, the company offers a free O2 Internet-to-Go browser which can be easily loaded on the mobile phone. Thanks to zooming features and a mouse pointer, content can be represented on the mobile phone just like on the home PC. As a result, users rapidly and easily visit their favorite web sites, access web mails, track online auction, obtain information on news sites or simply plan the weekend while they are on the road.
Cost transparency
Ideal for testing the O2 Internet-to-Go offer is the standard tariff for 9 Cents a minute already provided with O2 contract tariffs – users just download the browser and surf the internet at low cost per minute.
