Network migration causes outage for older Peeks
Users of older Peek devices including the Pronto and Classic have been offered a free upgrade to the new Peek 9ine. Peek CEO Amol Sarva made the gesture in response to a network migration that resulted what Peek’s blog refers to as the ‘whigging out’ of the older devices. Existing customers affected by the outage have been advised to check their email for further advice or contact care@peek.com for further details.
Designed as a streamlined communication tool, the Peek 9ine focuses on email, texting, Facebook, and Twitter. It also features maps, weather and rss streaming. It can be purchased for the contract-free price of $70 for 1 or $100 for two. Monthly pre-paid fees start at $10.
