FatCodes now available in major Canadian retailers
Future Shop, London Drugs and Best Buy among the first to offer FatPort Wi-Fi access codes
Vancouver BC – Oct 17, 2005 – Pre-paid access codes to FatPort's extensive Wi-Fi network are now available at several major retail chains across Canada. Currently, Best Buy, Future Shop, London Drugs and Wireless Wave stores are carrying the cards with other soon to follow.
The prepaid FatPort cards or ‘FatCodes’ can be used to access FatPort’s network of over 300 FatPort hotspots across Canada. Two pricepoints are avaiable - $9.95 for 160 minutes (a 33% savings over our regular price) and $34.95 for one months access. Each card has a unique code that is activated online at the hotspot.
"With the holiday season fast approaching, getting our material in front of a wide consumer base was a priority, "states Malcolm McDonald, Marketing Manager. "Now that our FatCodes are available in high-traffic retail locations, our customers can give the gift of FatPort and pay by cash. It's a big development that profoundly strengthens our offering."
