AIRTEL NIGERIA UNVEILS NEW BBM DATA PLANS

Airtel Nigeria, one of Nigeria's top service providers has unveiled a new data plan designed specifically for BBM chatting. Since Blackberry released the cross platform application, we at technerd have been anticipating whether our service provider would create a special data bundle that would support the application.

This new data bundle is designed to allow unlimited data usage for only the blackberry Messenger application based on the user's subscription. it allows unrestricted access for family and friends to chat on BBM on either a daily, weekly or monthly basis. To subscribe to the new BBM Bundles for smartphone users, customers are to dial:

*440*22# for the monthly plan that cost N300
*440*23# for the weekly plan that cost N200
*440*24# for the daily plan that cost N100

These special bundles would greatly alleviate the cost of data subscription for the teeming number of smartphone users. It also shows that Airtel still has an innovative bone in them. The Service provider which has gone through so many managements has lagged behind in terms of innovations but they have managed to outsmart their competition. In the official press release, the Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director of Airtel, Deepak Srivastava said “The demand for BlackBerry Messenger on smartphones is unprecedented and as a company that thrives on innovation and customer satisfaction, we had to be swift in providing our customers with added value and further delight their BB service experience with the BBM bundle plans. In addition, the offering will enable our customers to experience the efficacy and robustness of Airtel’s 3.75g service”. This is definitely going to snag them some customers in the near future as many users are adopting the BBM craze by the millions on a daily basis.

Biometrics have become a part of our daily lives in many ways than one and to have them on our smartphones wouldn't be such a bad idea. Apple as its their custom to set trends when it comes to revolutionary smartphone features and hardware have begun to chart this course, other manufactures such as Samsung have flirted with the idea with rumours that we might be getting a fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy Note III set to be announced later in Q4 of this year but they have since rescinded that decision for logistics reasons.
