Mobistar launches a BlackBerry® offer for its prepaid customers

After the BlackBerry® Enterprise Edition and the BlackBerry® Internet Edition for business, Mobistar is now also launching a BlackBerry® solution 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™, with more than 35,000 mobile applications specially developed for BlackBerry smartphones. The showpiece of the prepaid option is BlackBerry® Messenger, one of the world’s largest mobile social networks with over 45 million users. The Mobistar customers can chat unlimited with all their BlackBerry® friends, even when abroad and with non-Mobistar BlackBerry® 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.
