TuneTalk now offers BlackBerry services


KUALA LUMPUR: Tune Talk is the latest mobile service operator to jump on the BlackBerry bandwagon with prepaid plans which it claims offers the lowest rates in town.

An unlimited BlackBerry Internet Services (BIS) plan can be subscribed for only 98sen per day on a daily basis or users can pay RM28 to subscribe for a whole month. Otherwise, if all you need are access to BlackBerry Messenger and Instant Messaging features, users can subscribe to the related BIM package which costs only 38sen per day or RM11 per month.

To activate any of the BIS or BIM plans, all a user needs to do is send a subscription message to Tune Talk.

According to the company's CEO Jason Lo, the rollout of the BlackBerry services are part of its endeavour to not only meet, but surpass its user's needs and expectations.

"It's about giving our subscribers more options and the best deals in town," he said.

As it is, he claimed that the company is already offering the lowest flat call rates, SMS and data charges; not to mention automatic personal accident coverage and free flight seats via Tune Talk Points for AirAsia Flights.

"No other service provider gives you points for topping up," he added.

Tune Talk charges a flat rate of 16sen per minute for calls to any mobile or fixed-line operator in Malaysia, while an SMS costs 5sen each. Data usage, on the other hand, is charged 5sen per 1MB while its IDD rates are around 10% to 30% cheaper than other operators, Tune Talk claimed.
Tune Talk operates as a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) riding on Celcom Axiata Berhad's network.
