Zer01 Mobile Offers Tasty Unlimited Plan

Unlimited plans for voice and data where cell phones are concerned have been around for some time already, but newcomer Zer01 Mobile has just announced such a package for $70 a month sans contract. In addition, Zer01 Mobile touts to have a network as large as AT&T’s, where in reality the service is actually derived from a roaming agreement with a bunch of other providers including AT&T and T-Mobile, albeit relying on its own IP system. At press time, only Windows Mobile-based smartphones will be supported but Zer01 Mobile has plans to welcome Android, BlackBerry, Symbian and Java platforms to the party later on. While $70 a month enables unlimited VoIP calls and data, another $10 will snag you international calling to 40 countries. Look out for a closed beta launch sometime next month.
