OSLO, Norway, Sept. 9, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- djuice today announced the launch of a new, web-based mobile subscription plan, djuice allstar, with a low monthly fee, low calling rates and cheap text and picture messages. The subscription comes without any mandatory contract periods, and is managed through the djuice website.
"djuice allstar is primarily an offer to young people who want to manage their subscription by themselves on the Internet, and who appreciate simplicity and low rates. Many youths are used to the Internet as a purchasing channel, and we have registered a demand for this kind of subscription plan," said Jon Erik Haug, Head of Mobile, Consumer Market in Telenor.
