Be-Bound is the new mobile solution to stay connected to the Internet worldwide with your smartphone even with poor or no Internet connection.

Everybody has faced connection issues, even in covered areas like the train, the subway, indoor or any other area with poor connectivity.
To solve this issue, Be-Bound has developed an innovative cloud technology using a very low bandwidth that delivers the best user experience even with poor connection. When there is no Wi-Fi or 3G network Be-Bound is using 2G network as transport layer to exchange information between the web and your smartphone, increasing dramatically the internet coverage. The solution works without any infrastructure investment and with any phone carrier in the world.

To access Be-Bound services, the user only needs to download the free Be-Bound app which includes built-in applications for email, weather report, news, stocks quotes, geolocated services and even Twitter. Using Be-Bound is free when connected to the Internet. When there is no data network available, the service works with SMS and prepaid credits (Be-miles) at a fraction of the standard roaming costs.

The Be-Bound vision is to allow everyone using a smartphone to stay connected as part of the next mobile revolution.

With Be-Bound, STAY CONNECTED… NOW!
