More affordable and flexible BlackBerry® Internet Service on Prepaid

With 3 different options, you can now choose the Prepaid BlackBerry® Internet Service plan that suits your individual needs and pocket:

How do I load my BlackBerry® Internet Service?

• If you’re a new customer, you’ll need to purchase a Virgin Mobile Prepaid SIM.
• All new or existing Prepaid customers will need a BlackBerry® ready SIM to subscribe to this service. You can find out if your SIM is BlackBerry® ready at your nearest Virgin Mobile store.
• Insert it into a BlackBerry® smartphone
• Recharge with Virgin Mobile airtime
• Enter the appropriate USSD string, e.g., for the 7 day option enter *121*5*7# into your mobile phone
• You will receive an SMS to confirm your service. If you do not confirm within 5 minutes of your request, you will have to input the USSD string again and wait for a new confirmation SMS.
• Once your BlackBerry® Internet Service expires, you have the option to send one of the 3 USSD options from your cell phone to reactivate your service.

BlackBerry® Internet Service on Prepaid compliments our already highly competitive Prepaid offering which already includes:

• R10 FREE airtime for every R30 paid airtime used
