Blackberry for prepaid – soon from DiGi?

There was a rumour going on recently that DiGi is also going to launch Blackberry services for its prepaid customers. I am not sure how far it is true

Well, it goes like this. This service will be launched somewhere end of this month  & there will be two types of subscription, one for daily & the other one is for monthly. Did anyone of you ever heard of this? Is this just a rumour or something that is going to really happen?

Hmm, it DiGi happens to launch this service, it is definitely going to be great for prepaid users. Blackberry device (with its blackberry messenger) is a great form of communication for people. You can chat with your friends on the go for free as long you have the BIS service available. Prepaid users who used to sms a lot can benefit from this if their friends are also into blackberry.

Last time, I was told that Celcom had  a lot of hiccups with their daily prepaid BIS plan where it auto deduct money everyday but subscription is not active. The user has to call Celcom to rectify this problem & then only it will be activated. Now it should be fixed but for a starter like DiGi (if they launch), will they have similar hiccups?

We shall wait and see. Their postpaid plan @ smart plan was a great success as it is a real value for money service compared to Celcom & Maxis. Hopefully we see something affordable for prepaid users as well. 

UPDATE (9/7/2010)  : DiGi has finally launched blackberry for prepaid. It is very affordable, for only RM2 per day (which will be about RM60 per month). Definitely bang for the bucks for DiGi prepaid users. More info at http://www.digi.com.my/whatshot/promotions/bb_prepaid/index.do
