U Mobile have been slashing its prepaid BlackBerry rates quite regularly. Not too long ago, they have reduced their daily BlackBerry daily subscription to RM0.88/day. Now they have also reduced their weekly and monthly subscription to RM5.50/week and RM19/month.

This is among the cheapest and the plans include additional data usage such as video streaming. As comparison, Tune Talk charges RM0.98/daily or RM28/monthly but their additional data usage is charged at 5sen/MB.

U Mobile has reduced its BlackBerry rates further for both prepaid and postpaid subscription. In the last revision few weeks back, U Mobile was offering:
Daily – RM1.50/day
Weekly – RM9/week
Monthly – RM40/month

Now they have made significant reductions and below is their latest BlackBerry Rates:
Daily – RM1.50/day
Weekly – RM8/week (Prepaid) / RM9/week (Postpaid)
Monthly – RM25/month

All three plans come with “Free Unlimited Data” with Fair Usage caps at 30MB/day, 300MB/week and 1GB/month.

With heavy competition from the likes of TuneTalk’s RM28/month BlackBerry BIS Prepaid plans, most telcos are forced to relook into their existing offering to stay competitive. A few weeks back, DiGi had introduced a monthly unlimited BlackBerry prepaid plan at RM25/month which comes with 500MB/day Fair Use Quota.

In the header, it is highlighted that the BlackBerry plans come with free calls but it wasn’t made clear in the BlackBerry section. From the looks of it, it should be based on top up for Prepaid customers.

U Mobile has revised its BlackBerry Plans which now offers Free Unlimited Data. When U Mobile’s BlackBerry plans and packages were revealed, it offered unlimited BIS service on daily, weekly and monthly basis with additional 5sen/MB charge for other data usage such as video streaming. The price for weekly has been reduced from RM10 to RM9 as well.

A week ago, U Mobile had introduced its Unlimited BIS + 5GB data plan at RM68. This begs a question whether long term monthly subscriber would go for its typical RM40 monthly plan or RM68 unlimited + 5GB since both comes with data with no exchange charge.

For the normal daily, weekly and monthly plans, the permitted “unlimited” usage quota is anyone’s guess as it wasn’t mentioned. It is likely that either the standard download speeds are lower than the RM68 plan or it comes with minimal quota before it gets throttled.

According to the FAQ, the Free “Unlimited” Data is capped at 30MB for daily, 300MB for weekly and 1GB for monthly. There will be no extra charge if you exceed but speeds will be reduced down to comply with FUP. So if your non-BlackBerry service data usage is below 1GB, the monthly RM40 option would be sufficient. For heavier usage, you can get 5GB data for just additional RM28 (RM68/month).

Celcom Xpax is one of Malaysia’s most attractive prepaid Blackberry service at the moment. At only RM1/day, you get unlimited BBM under its Blackberry Social package. There’s a higher RM2.50/day This has been a long dominance for Xpax until recently DiGi and Maxis joined in and offered daily packages of RM2 and RM2.50 per day respectively.

Xpax obviously trying to hold their ground has reduced introduced a new barebone Blackberry daily subscription at 50 sen/day. We got a twitpic taken by TianChad shown above on the announcement.

The other existing daily prepaid plans for BlackBerry are still maintained, giving a total of 3 daily package as below:

So basically the new BBM with Xpax is the stripped down version of the RM1/day BlackBerry social that is limited to purely Blackberry messenger service. This new plan is a better deal if all you do is BBM without the need of Facebook, Twitter and other popular IM. For social freaks, you probably stick to the same RM1/day BlackBerry Social plan.

More details on the Xpax Blackberry site.

Its going to be interesting to see what DiGi and Maxis will come up with to counter this.

Just one minor request to Celcom PR. Please remember to include SoyaCincau.com in your distribution list. Thank you.

Hotlink has finally introduced a daily blackberry prepaid package for RM2.50/day. This comes shortly after DiGi’s introduction of its RM2/day daily blackberry service.

For the extra 50 sen, you’ll get a generous 200MB/day data usage as compared to DiGi’s 100MB. To activate, just dial *100#, select Internet and BlackBerry Internet Service. The daily package is renewed automatically.

Similar to DiGi and XpaX, this is only applicable within Blackberry Service inclusive of Email, IM, Social Networking and web browsing. If you use the typical UNET APN or for internet tethering, you will be charged separately.
