Datafree Technologies (originally biNu, founded 2008 and headquartered in Sydney, Australia) operates a #datafree reverse-billing connectivity platform that lets enterprises sponsor the mobile data cost of their websites, apps and portals so end users can reach those digital services without spending their own airtime or data - much like a toll-free number, but for the mobile internet. Widely deployed across South African mobile networks, the platform works on any device with no new SIM, top-up or contract, and layers on security controls, allowlist management, time windows, usage caps and audit logging. Products include the Datafree Platform and Datafree Connect. Backed by 500 Global.
