Celcom is pioneering Blackberry prepaid service last year, but apparently goes in hibernate mode since then. There is almost no update on their offering, until this week. Now they have something better to offer, with the not so new Blackberry smartphone model. In addition to Blackberry Curve which available since day one, Blackberry Bold 9700 white and black color and Blackberry Storm 9520 are now on sale, giving customer more option on smartphone model they want. Both are priced at RM1788, slightly discounted by Celcom as compared to retail price.

Time to cheer to all Xpax Blackberry folks! Beginning this week until 31st March 2010, you can enjoy free Blackberry Advance package during the weekend if you subscribe to Blackberry Advance for 5 consecutive weekdays.
You save RM5 perweek, and there are 11 weeks until end of March, so the total saving here is RM55. In a month, you save RM20 (for RM5 x 4 weeks permonth) which brings the total bill, if you subscribe to Backberry Advance continuously, to RM55, from RM75 without discount for 30days usage. That’s cool if saving is your priority now.
This promo is part of Celcom’s ‘Got Big Freakin Sale’ going on from 11th Jan untill 31st March, so you gotta hurry to enjoy this. Apart from that, there are also discounts on phone calls as well as content downloads. Check out Xpax promo page for more info.
In my 4 years experience of using Celcom prepaid services, I’ve never sees (I might miss it) a better deal that what Celcom is offering today, 1-January-2010. Seriously!!
For a minimum reload of RM30, you could get RM9 free credit (you read it right, credit not SMS) up to maximum RM60 if you reload RM200. Isn’t that great!
What makes it not sound so cool is, you must use the free credit in 7 days and it cannot be transferred because Celcom blocked transfer in that period of time.
If you’re wondering how you could finish it on time. Let say you reload RM50 which entitles you RM15 free credit,
- Subscribe to Blackberry Advance for 6 days – RM2.5 x 6 days equals to RM15
- Send SMS 3000 times to any friends in your 15Pax list (0.5 cent per SMS on any network)
- Talk 215 minutes to any friends in your 15Pax list (1 minute rate is 12 cents to any network)
