Vodafone offers prepaid packages with BlackBerry smartphones

Following Vodafone's introduction of its prepaid mobile internet service, making it the first company in Malta to offer this option, Vodafone Malta is introducing tailor-made prepaid packages with BlackBerry smartphones.

The prepaid BlackBerry Internet service from Vodafone offers unlimited e-mail, unlimited internet browsing and BlackBerry Messenger. The packages available for purchase are at €20 for unlimited data usage expiring after 30 days and at €7 for unlimited data usage expiring after seven days.

As a special launch incentive, Vodafone is also offering its prepaid customers a special discounted price on the BlackBerry Storm smartphone of €450 (instead of €565), which also includes three months free prepaid BlackBerry internet service.

The prepaid BlackBerry internet service from Vodafone enables customers to connect to people and places and includes features to help the subscriber remain social from almost anywhere.

With e-mail and text messaging, instant messaging and social networking applications like Facebook and MySpace customers can easily stay in touch with their colleagues, family and friends while on-the-go.

"We're pleased to offer our customers BlackBerry smartphones with the flexibility, value and benefits on a prepaid service. One simply has to purchase the internet bundles from Vodafone's website - www.vodafone.com.mt," said Rachael Demicoli, marketing executive at Vodafone Malta.

This prepaid BlackBerry solution works with Vodafone prepaid SIM cards. The data within the bundle includes only local usage. Terms and conditions apply. For more information, contact Vodafone Customer Service on 247 from your Vodafone mobile or dial 9999 9247 from any other line. Alternatively, visit www.vodafone.com.mt or visit one of the Vodafone retail outlets.
