Cost of Geopepper Membership


Most features of the Geopepper Service (Beta) are provided free-of-charge. However, even if a feature is free-of-charge, you may incur charges from your mobile network provider. Mobile network charges you may incur include but may not be limited to: text messaging, multimedia messaging, and data network access charges. It is your responsibility to be aware of the fees assessed by your mobile network and to pay for these charges.

The Geopepper Mobile application (if downloaded) uses a large quantity of data network bandwidth. Therefore, we recommend that users of the Geopepper Mobile application have a mobile network plan that allows for unlimited data usage for a fixed fee. If an unlimited data plan is not available from your mobile network provider, you should consider not using the Geopepper Mobile application.
