For those of u asking why bis is cheaper than other smartphone data plans here is the reason ......................

what is a BlackBerry (BIS) Data Plan? BIS stands for BlackBerry Internet Service. BlackBerry has published documentation for their BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) athttp://docs.blackberry.com/en/smartphone_users/deliverables/46577/BlackBerry_Internet_Service-Feature_and_Technical_Overview-1339006565432-4.3-en.pdf Many of you have asked why you need a BIS plan at all. People have asked us why they need to pay a cellular service provider for a BIS plan when they have access to a Wi-Fi network. Similarly, many people who do NOT have a BIS plan ask us why they don't have access to BBM, Facebook and other features of your BlackBerry smartphone. The following is our understanding of BIS and why it is important:Email and Research In Motion (RIM)'s apps on your SmartPhone, such as BBM & Facebook, route its data through RIM's global network of BIS servers.The BIS network provides an extremely high level of security (arguably unparalleled in mobile computing) to protect your data. Articles continue to come out regularly attesting to RIM's significantly higher level of security than available on Android and iPhone smartphones. This is the reason that many of us decided to buy a BlackBerry in the first place. The result is that our data goes thru RIM's proprietary BIS network and is protected by their extremely high level of security. This security protects our email and all data that comes through our BlackBerry devices.RIM's BIS servers also compress data so that data going from your BlackBerry to your cellular service provider uses half as much data as you would on other smartphones. So instead of using, for example, 1 GB of data on an Android or an iPhone, you will use roughly half of that, or 500 MB of data. Many cellular service providers now offer one unlimited data plan. However, others are faced with paying for data based on usage, or buying plans which rise in cost based on how much data you think you will use. So by compressing data, RIM is enabling you to buy a lower cost data plan than you would have to buy if you were using another smartphone. It also saves your cellular service provider's network traffic and assists them to be able to serve more customers on the same network.. so here u have it if u need cheap data service get ur self a bb with glo comonth of 1k for 3gig u can share ur 3gig with wifi to ur android smartphones and tabs. It saves u stress and money. I have a Samsung galaxy note but my bb is still my main phone cos with just 1k am good to go and even when I finish the 3gig I can sub again at the end of the month I might end up spending only 2k but with Android I spend close to 5k to 6k under a month. If u dont like old bb phone u can try the bb10 phones they are awesome and now u can install any Android app u want in them. My token. Am sorry airtel don push una comot cos una dey slow their network down.

no the plan is 3gb but with additional 1.5gig making it 4.5gb the 1.5gb u can use anytime but once u finish the 1.5gb u will be browing only at night from 9pm till 6am. But during the weekend Saturday to monday ur nit plan will work during the day even if u have finished the 1.5gb

stop sounding like a kid. Didnt mtn and etisalat with glo block their bis from other phones? What makes u think airtel can't. For ur information bis (blackberry Internet service) goes through blackbery (rim) server not true airtel or mtn as u guy think thats why bis is cheap.

hafiz_efizi: For those of you that ported to Airtel from MTN because of their cheap BB plans on Android, iPhone and PC. Now that this awuff is almost over, you may what to consider porting back. Just incase sha. Here are Subscription codes and data bundles for MTN.
For 250MB @ #1300, text 109 to 131 or dial *109# from your phone, For 500MB @ #2000, text 110 to 131 or dial *110# from your phone, For 1GB @ #3500, text 111 to 131 or dial *111# from your phone, Note that all these are monthly plans

Is this what Mtn offers? And you guys are shouting. Matcheew.

On Airtel, #1000 gives 260MB, #1300 gives 325MB, #2000 gives 650MB & #3000 gives 1.3GB. All are monthly plans.
Tell me which one is better?
