Connect Free Newsletter September 98 Welcome to Connect Free, and thank you for joining our service, we hope you find our first newsletter informative. Aardvaak For the avoidance of doubt, Aardvaak is a reseller for FREE Internet access for Connect Free, if you have signed up to the service through Aardvaak you are a customer of Connect Free and not Aardvaak, however this is only in relation to FREE Internet access and not any other service that maybe available through Aardvaak. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Games Service The Games Service is now live and can be accessed as of today, the reason for the delay is because it has been on trial. Connect Free aims to have the fastest and cheapest way of connecting and playing your favourite games on-line with others across the UK, Quake is the first game to come on-line. (If you have not ever played games on-line before, take it from me, what an experience) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Sending E-mails Because the service is FREE, we are open to abuse by hackers and people using the service to send out unsolicited e-mails, as a deterrent we have had to raise the security.=20 As of now, anyone sending e-mails from other service providers, will need to re-configure their mail package for sending e-mails from smtp.connectfree.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Future Developments Coming Soon=85 FREE telephone numbers, for example Premium and Personal rate numbers. These numbers are not only FREE but you can also make money from the calls, "makes a change from BT making all the money". How does it work? Simple, you just attach a Personal or Premium rate number to your existing telephone number and inform who ever you wish what the new number is and start to make income from the calls you receive. (Ideal for people running a business from home)=20 A Personal Number is a number for life and is charged at around about 31p in the day and 12p in the evening, if you move house the number moves with you. Premium rate numbers are those awful numbers that no one wants to phone which are charged at 50p and =A31 a minute,=20 How much money can I make? Depends on how many calls you receive and it's a great way for compensating against the cost of the local call when connecting to our service.=20 How does Connect Free make money out of all this? well, it's a win, win situation, you make money, we make money, and we all get the satisfaction that for a change we are all making money instead of BT. IT's GOOD TO TALK. More information will be available soon. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Engaged Tones If you have received any engaged tones? please except our appologies, however in October of this year we will be doubling our capacity, and in March of next year we will quadruple our capacity. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Improvements Connect Free would like to hear from you, if there are any ways in which you think we could improve our service, or add more content to the Connect Free web site.=20 It is Connect Free policy not to send unwanted rubbish by e-mail or junk advertising by any other means.
