SEATTLE, July 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DigitalTown (OTC:DGTW), with a mission to deliver its blockchain-based technology to every town, city and village in the world via its global cloud-hosted platform and decentralized applications is partnering with FreeUP Mobile to bring Free Wireless Service to US members of the DigitalTown movement.

DigitalTown CEO, Rob Monster, comments: “FreeUP Mobile is a pioneer in telecommunications and as DigitalTown advocates a ‘mobile first’ approach to the Digital Age, the partnership with FreeUP is perfectly aligned with our goal to have every US – and global – city become a DigitalTown with life-enhancing, habit forming technology available for free on web and mobile. Our mission is to co-create local abundance while achieving digital interoperability locally and globally. In the US, with FreeUP, we’re making it incredibly cost-effective, convenient and simple for everyone to reap the benefits that can be enjoyed when a city becomes a DigitalTown.”

FreeUP Mobile Founder and CEO, Rod Nakjavani, adds: “It’s exciting times for us at FreeUP Mobile as we gear up to roll out FreeUP 2.0 and add more monetization categories to the Rewards app and launch more competitive plans. Just as DigitalTown makes it easy for every city to be a digital city, we make it easy for everyone to access uncompromised cellular-first wireless service on America’s top GSM 4G LTE network with wide-open, blazing-fast LTE speeds and great features such as unlimited international calling and messaging.
