KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 12 — Flexiroam Ltd, a mobile data roaming provider, is offering one year of free data roaming for WhatsApp in Flexiroam X² BETA.

Flexiroam, in a statement, said exclusive invites would be sent out this March 15, 2018 to allow users to enjoy special ‘sponsored data’ to stay connected in 130 countries via WhatsApp.

Connectivity is a basic necessity for most but still represents a significant challenge to many travellers, so to combat this, Flexiroam provides affordable, borderless data roaming globally.

The official version of Flexiroam X² will be released in the second quarter of 2018.

Flexiroam’s new platform will sell a specific data pool to other mobile operators, over-the-top (OTT) players and advertisers so they can incentivise their users by providing them with free data to use its application.

Also, advertisers who aim to increase customer loyalty can purchase a data package from Flexiroam and offer value-adding services or incentives to their users so that they can continue using their service while travelling abroad without incurring any data roaming charges.

Flexiroam X currently has about 120,000 subscribers from over 50 different countries worldwide and counting. — Bernama
