Zer01 Mobile’s a nomad, will roam with a variety of carriers
Filed under: GSM, EDGE, HSDPA, UMTS, MVNOs
It won’t make much of a difference to the end user — all they’ll care is that they’re getting unlimited voice and data for under a month — but it turns out that Zer01 Mobile’s upcoming VoIP-based service won’t be using AT&T alone to provide service. Instead, it’ll have service agreements in place with a number of GSM carriers — nationals and regionals alike, we’d imagine — in an effort to keep its costs low. Because all voice calls will travel over VoIP instead of GSM or UMTS proper, it seems like things could get a little dicey if you find yourself on a crappy EDGE (or worse yet, GPRS) connection, but hey, just keep telling yourself: “.95.”
