Free Internet/Wi-Fi with MacBooks
WirelessG and South Africa’s official Apple distributor, Core Group, have partnered to offer all purchasers of a new MacBook, MacBook Pro or MacBook Air device free Wi-Fi access to the value of 1GB per month for 12 consecutive months at any of the 1,800 WirelessG Wi-Fi hotspots in South Africa.
WirelessG is the company behind G-Connect, South Africa’s first fully converged pre-paid Internet product.
“Based on the successful Apple iPod Touch/G-Connect partnership and the substantial hike in demand for both the Apple iPod touch and G-Connect broadband services, the decision was made to extend our joint venture campaigns to the Apple Macbook devices. The bundling of G-Connect broadband services and the Apple MacBook and iPod devices are purely driven by user experiences relating to value for money, quality and reliability offered by both brands,” says Carel van der Merwe, CEO of WirelessG.
“The offer provides all official MacBook purchasers with free Wi-Fi for a year, where users can also purchase additional 3G and ADSL access from a single online G-Connect account. The offer also includes full time support and 24/7 standby assistance to Apple Macbook customers” says van der Merwe.
“When the opportunity presented itself to partner and offer our customers another great promotion bundled with ’go virtually anywhere’ G-Connect Wi-Fi access, we knew they would be getting the full Apple mobility and connectivity experience straight out the box,” says Rutger-Jan van Spaandonk, executive director at Core Group.
G-Connect Wi-Fi access can be topped up at competitive rates, and users can also get access to the full collection of G-Connect connectivity options ranging from 3G to Wi-Fi and ADSL. There are no contracts and Internet access is pre-paid.
This offer is valid nationwide when purchasing an Apple laptop at an iStore, Project 3 or Digicape.
