WirelessG is again making headway in the local internet market by partnering up with Core Group, the sole representatives of Apple in South Africa, and giving away free WiFi for a year to anybody that buys a brand new Apple iPod Touch device.

Since now all your iPod Touch was good for was to listen music to, or surf the odd site when you are within your home WiFi range, but with the new offer from WirelessG every new iPod Touch owner will now get a years free WiFi access to the value of R600. That right, now you can browse the web while you are on the go as long as you are withing range of the G-Connect WiFi hotspots.

The iPod Touch just became more than a music device, with new owners now being able to check emails, update their Facebook or Twitter statuses, even checking in on Gowalla or Foursquare while on the go.

Carel van der Merwe, WirelessG CEO says the R49 worth of complementary access a month translates into between 100MB and 140MB of Wi-Fi downloads per month, depending on what time of day users make use of the promotion.

“Vouchers offered with this promotion are redeemable in conjunction with our standard, super weekend and happy-hour Wi-Fi rates of 49c, 45c and 35c per MB respectively and unused data balances roll over into the following month, giving customers maximum value,” he says.

Don’t worry if you already own a iPod Touch, you too can stay connected by just purchasing a G-Connect voucher and loading it onto your iPod Touch. Great thing about these G-Connect vouchers is that they carry over, so if you do not use all your credits it will carry over to the next month.
