WHOTSPOT FREE ACCESS PLANS

Whotspot's Free-Access Service Plans are tailored for small business and venue owners who DO NOT want to charge a fee for customers to surf the net.

In our FIXED MONTHLY OFFERING, you would buy our WiFi Gateway Router, connect it to your internet modem (Cable or DSL), pay us a fixed monthly location fee, and offer free surfing to your customers. Your customers will still see your portal page, and will have to login with a SurfCard Code, but the account is free. For controlled access, our $75/month plan offers the use of prepaid SurfCard codes. We send you as many 30 min/ 60 min/ Daily SurfCard codes as you need. The codes are sent to you ready for you in a spreadsheet, ready for you to print on Avery labels and apply to your brochures, business cards or menus.

New Campground Package: Instead of prepaid codes, we can generate a unique username/password combo for each campsite you have. This will provide secured access and allow you to easily track the traffic usage at each site. Just add $25/m for this option.

As a retailer, you can be very creative. For example, you could offer your clients a free 30 minute SurfCard code, if they purchase $5 or more in merchandise. You can also offer them other SurfCards, if they spend more in your venue.

The great thing about this optional service offering - is that it's controlled and it's fixed cost. You physically have to interact with the customer. No freeloaders or anonymous surfers. Only paying customers can surf free!

Also Standard, we'll keep our credit card interface operational. Other customers who have not purchased products from you will pay the full retail price for surfing by signing up for an account online with their credit card. We'll even send you 50% of the revenue for these paying customers! If you request, we can also disable this feature.
