Mobistar launches a BlackBerry® offer for its prepaid customers
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Brussels, 17 August 2011 - Starting today, Mobistar prepaid customers too can
opt for a BlackBerry® offer. It's an option that prepaid customers can activate
on their Tempo tariff plan with a code or an SMS. The option costs 7 euros per
month for a volume of 100 MB and is valid for one month. The new option offers
Mobistar prepaid customers the benefits of accessing a number of BlackBerry®
services, such as BlackBerry® Messenger (BBM), a blackberry.mobistar.be mail
address, BlackBerry App World(TM), but they can also access the mobile internet
and the social networks Facebook®, Netlog and Twitter®.
After the BlackBerryÒ Enterprise Edition and the BlackBerryÒ Internet Edition
for business, Mobistar is now also launching a BlackBerryÒsolution for its
prepaid customers. More and more residential customers today are buying
smartphones and using e-mail and surfing services via Mobistar's mobile data
network. With this BlackBerry® offer, Mobistar prepaid customers can access
anytime, anywhere the e-mail and chat services of BlackBerry®, surf the mobile
internet and access the BlackBerry App World(TM), with more than 35,000 mobile
applications specially developed for BlackBerry smartphones. The showpiece of
the prepaid option is BlackBerryÒ Messenger, one of the world's largest mobile
social networks with over 45 million users. The Mobistar customers can chat
unlimited with all their BlackBerryÒ friends, even when abroad and with non-
Mobistar BlackBerryÒ users as well.
All Tempo customers can activate the BlackBerry® option by sending 'BB' to 8079
or via the code #123# (chose 2 "reload options", then 4 "mobile internet
options" and 4 "BlackBerry prepaid edition). The option is valid for 31 days
and the service is discontinued if not reloaded. The customer receives a
notification when the 100MB has been used or the validity period of 31 days has
expired. Customers then can reload for another 100 MB or a period of 31 days and
will be charged 7 euros. The first activation before 31 January 2012 is free of
charge.
The launch of this service reaffirms Mobistar's ambition to further facilitate
the mobile data access to all their customers.
