"T-Mobile Announces a UK First for BlackBerry Customers: Pay Once for a Year of Unlimited Email and Internet
T-MobileUK today unveils a new way to pay for a BlackBerry®smartphone: Pay once for a silver-coloured BlackBerry® Pearl 8110 smartphone and a years unlimited* email and internet access.
The Pay once concept is a market first, giving people the chance to experience the hugely popular BlackBerry email service and access to internet sites and social networks on the move for a year all for just a single payment of £179.99. Customers just have to top-up their credit as usual to make calls and send texts and picture messages.
T-Mobiles new offer is set to make BlackBerry smartphones accessible to new groups of mobile phone customers. Its sure to be a hit with students, letting them stay connected to family and friends by email, via IM, Facebook or MySpace. And for those just starting out in business whether theyre running a small business or entering the workplace for the first time its the perfect way to access personal and work emails, without the worry of hidden costs.
The Pay once concept also makes giving a BlackBerry as a gift viable for the first time, as theres no ongoing cost involved for the person giving the gift, and the recipient just pays for top-ups for calls and texts when they want to.
The T-Mobile BlackBerry Pearl 8110 smartphone comes in silver, and features a 2 Mega pixel camera for snapping photos and recording video, in-built GPS so youll never get lost again, and a 3.5mm earphone jack for listening to music on the move. The pre-loaded quick-links include favourite sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Flickr. And as you would expect from a BlackBerry smartphone, theres also a user-friendly SureType® QWERTY key pad which makes writing messages and making phone calls quick and easy.
Richard Warmsley, Head of Internet and Entertainment, T-MobileUK, commented: T-Mobiles Pay once BlackBerry is the world's first package to offer a year's instant email and internet for a one-off payment. For an affordable £179.99, get a brand new silver BlackBerry Pearl smartphone and unlimited e-mail and web for 12 months, with top-ups available for calls and texts. When life can feel busier than ever, it's even more important that everyone has the right to easy email and web access to keep friends and family close, and to help to organise their busy lives. Now customers have a grab-and-go quality BlackBerry solution that means they don't have to think about the cost of using email and internet services for 12 months.
no word as to how much it cost after the year is up which is disapointing:
