Data Compression
$10 per month
Data Compression service optimizes wireless data transmission on your laptop, tablet or Pocket PC device and delivers higher throughput speeds for wireless devices. Data Compression is easy to self-install and configure.

With a simple software solution that resides on your device, you can continue to enjoy the freedom of wireless connectivity - but now you can accelerate the speed of that connection.

Using Data Compression service with Data to Go™ solutions will improve productivity.

Average throughput speed increases up to 56Kbps but can go as high as 120Kbps.
Group Ring
$5 per month
When you can’t afford to miss a call, Group Ring is the wireless calling feature for you.

With Group Ring, you can have up to 5 MTS Mobility cell phones ring at the same time when just one number is dialed! One phone acts as a Pilot Number and triggers ringing on any of the member phones associated with it. Running a small office with mobile employees? Publicize the pilot number and ensure calls are always answered. The member phones have their own phone numbers and can still be dialed directly - the Pilot Number is the only number that triggers the group ringing!

This feature is ideal if you have an in-car phone and a portable phone - provide one number and keep the other private. For only $5/month (billed to the Pilot Number), make sure you always get the call!
