14 DAY TRIAL // Indian carrier Tata DOCOMO, the first private telecom company to launch 3G services in the country, has just introduced its Blackberry Unlimited plan for Prepay and Postpay customers. Those who wish to take advantage of the new offer will have to pay a monthly Rs 399 (about $9) fee.
Some of the benefits received by customers who decide to pay for ‘Blackberry Unlimited’ are listed below:
- Unlimited push Email; - As many as 10 personal e-mail accounts (Gmail, Yahoo mail, Hotmail, etc.); - Unlimited usage on Instant Messenger (IM,Google Talk, MSN Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ & more); - Unlimited usage on BlackBerry App World - Free application download & use; - Unlimited usage on Social Networking (Facebook, Orkut, Myspace & more); - Unlimited usage on Internet Browsing, including audio and video content.
The main reason behind the new offering is the increasing popularity that Blackberry devices are getting in India lately.
According to the carrier, unlike other companies that offer limited browsing and/or emailing, as well as expensive Blackberry plans, Tata Docomo has bundled all services in an affordable all-in-one product for Blackberry devices.
Besides the benefits mentioned earlier, customers also get an additional 300 MB data download offer with Blackberry Unlimited.
However, as Tata DOCOMO 3G does not have full coverage in India, the offer will only be available in 9 states: Gujarat & Daman & Diu, Haryana, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh & Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra (excluding Mumbai) & Goa, Punjab, Rajasthan and Western Uttar Pradesh & Uttarakhand.
With the exception of the 3G services, customers can take advantage of the Blackberry Unlimited on Tata Docomo mobile network across the entire country where the carrier has coverage.
Customers need to subscribe for the Blackberry Unlimited service online at the carrier's website, by filling up a standard form, or call at the number posted.
