Internet Access For Its NetZero and Juno Brands
New Services Give Mac Consumers Nationwide Value-Priced
Internet Access Choice
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., August 13, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) — United Online,
Inc. (Nasdaq:UNTD), a leading provider of value-priced Internet services,
today announced the company is extending the availability of NetZero
Platinum for Mac and Juno Platinum for Mac Internet access services by
offering the services for the Mac OS 9 platform. By creating a product line
for the Mac OS 9 platform, the majority of Mac users now have access to the
company’s value-priced Internet access services. NetZero and Juno launched
Internet access for Mac OS X users earlier this year. Both versions of the
service were developed based on strong demand and feedback from the Mac
user community.
NetZero Platinum for Mac and Juno Platinum for Mac offer both Mac OS 9 and
Mac OS X users easy-to-use, reliable Internet service with thousands of
access numbers nationwide, fast connections, compatibility with the most
popular instant messaging programs, and Web-based email that is accessible
from any Internet connection, all for only $9.95 a month. That’s less than
1/2 the standard price of EarthLink and AOL (see note). Available now, both
services can be downloaded in 2 minutes by going to either www.netzero.com
or www.juno.com with your Macintosh computer, or you can order service by
phone at 877-NETZERO or 800-TRY-JUNO.
