Basseterre, St. Kitts: LIME is now offering BlackBerry customers two new plans –Blackberry Social and Blackberry Chat—which are designed to make the world of BlackBerry more accessible to a wider audience and to fit almost any budget.
The plans are the first of their kind in the English Speaking Caribbean and were tailored to suit the growing demand for BlackBerry service in our market.
BlackBerry Social is LIME’s new BlackBerry plan that gives customers unlimited use of BlackBerry applications such as favourite social networks - Facebook and MySpace, & Twitter. Customers also have access to BlackBerry Messenger (BBM), Yahoo Messenger, ICQ and GoogleTalk. The plan, however, does not include email or Internet browsing.
BlackBerry Chat is LIME’s new BlackBerry plan that gives customers unlimited email and access to popular chat services including BlackBerry Messenger (BBM), Yahoo Messenger, ICQ and Google Talk. The Plan does not, however, include access to Internet browsing or social networks.
According to Emerson Hewitt, Vice President Customer Solutions: “These two new plans were designed bearing in mind, in particular, persons who previously might not have been able to afford BlackBerry service. The plans are priced below the full BlackBerry Plan and gives customers, especially the youth market, an even more affordable way to stay connected to their friends/ colleagues and families for one low fee. And there is no set-up fee for BlackBerry Social or BlackBerry Chat”
One of the big selling features of these plans is that each gives customers access to the extremely popular BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) service. This unique online chat service really maximizes the BlackBerry experience as it gives users access to real-time communication with contacts. Users are able to personalize their profile with pictures and status messages. Plus, they can send documents, image, audio or video files during a conversation. BBM is unlimited and included in all LIME’s BlackBerry plans.
Both BlackBerry Social and Chat can be combined or “bolted on” to any other pre-paid or post- paid plan and BlackBerry customers enjoy free roaming anywhere in the Caribbean where there is LIME/ bmobile service.
And as part of LIME’s 100 Days of Summer promotion, anyone who signs up for any of LIME’s new postpaid Social plan will get 100 days of free service.
