The Absolute Plan was only introduced in March, but now MTN BlackBerry customers will be able to use BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) for ZAR59 (US$6) per month, including access to emails and social networking.
Another package available is BlackBerry Internet Service Lite, which limits usage up to 200MB and costs ZAR39.95 (US$4) per month.
Mapula Bodibe, general manager of consumer segments at MTN South Africa, said: “We are excited to introduce enhanced BlackBerry Service plans that offer a distinct customer experience, ensuring that customers’ usage needs and requirements are taken into consideration.”
A number of top-up options are also available on the new tariffs, including increasing BBM and web-based email access to 30MB from 10MB for ZAR14.95 per month.
