Telecoms solutions provider, Nashua Mobile, has extended its fixed-cost mobile services Xtreme Data and Xtreme Data Premium to selected Samsung Android handsets.

The company says users who prefer Android smartphones can now also enjoy the benefits of mobile internet at an affordable monthly tariff.

The Xtreme Data and Xtreme Data Premium services are expected to be available on the Samsung Ace Advance, Samsung Galaxy Y, Samsung Galaxy Pocket and the Samsung Galaxy Note II smartphones from 7 November.

At a fixed cost of R59 per month, Xtreme Data offers consumers unlimited access to email, browsing, social networking and instant messaging from their handsets.

While the Xtreme Data Premium service plan is available at R139 per month, it allows users to do everything they can do with the original Xtreme Data as well as download apps and games and view YouTube.

Mark Taylor, chief executive officer at Nashua Mobile, said, "Our flat-rate mobile data services have experienced fantastic adoption from Nokia users over the past 8 months since we first introduced them as the country's first real alternatives to the BlackBerry internet service.

“We believe that smartphone users should have the peace of mind of an affordable flat-rate data service whichever handset they choose - so we're excited to extend Xtreme data to the country's leading Android handset supplier, Samsung.”

"Now, Android users can also enjoy the full benefit of the mobile internet without worrying about depleting their data bundle halfway through the end of the month," concludes Taylor.
