21 Aug Live from Pukkelpop

Don’t you worry, we’re still behind our desks and answering your emails. But Mobile Vikings makes sure the festival really goes online this year!

Looking for a great way to make your tent even hotter? How about covering it up with our black “Free is for…” posters. That’s what @Karmeen , @nejianderson and @ohlordie did. On their way to the festival, they came into the office to pick up some of our posters. “No Mobile Vikings flags?”, they asked. No way we could’ve said no to our fans, so we supplied them with loads of posters.

They also promised us they would come back the next day for our Mobile Vikings T-shirts, and so they did. They weren’t the only ones: we’re almost sold out and will have to put in a far bigger order for the next event!

And how about this true Viking warrior, conquering the Proximus booth on site!? Although his victory was sweet - he could surf for free even in the Proximus booth - it didn’t last too long: the Proximus promo team wasn’t too pleased with his grin and kicked him right out of there.

The coolest thing that happened the other day was the intervention of a BASE technician, immediately improving network reception for our Mobile Vikings. We probably just witnessed the first Twitter-guided-mobile-antenna-positioning-system in Telecom history.

For those of you lucky enough to be on the festival grounds, check out the Proximus Mobile Guide for Pukkelpop. It works perfectly on your Mobile Vikings SIM card and you don’t even have to pay the 1€ Proximus charges its users for the SMS. Just point your browser to http://ppnl.made4mobile.eu

Wonder what the look on their faces will be when they realize more Mobile Vikings than Proximus customers used the Pukkelpop application!
