Most Affordable Globe Blackberry Plan

I admit I'm an iPhone addict. Never did I imagine myself using a BlackBerry because it was expensive to maintain one as I have to subscribe to BIS. Early this year, my Fiance bought the BB9780. She's having fun using it with BB social. For just 300 pesos a month, she can access social networking sites, including sending unlimited BBM! She can't access the internet though because you need BBMax to access it all. That's going to cost you around 599 pesos.

Just recently, the supposedly expensive BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) plan from Globe is now made affordable!!! This is Globe's latest offer -- For only 599 pesos a month, you get to fully unleash your BlackBerry's potential with BBMax PLUS a free BlackBerry unit!

A brand new BlackBerry 8520 would cost you around 7 to 8 thousand pesos easily. With Globe, you only pay for the Plan 599 and you get your unit for free! Here's the computation:

P599 x 24 months = P14,376
Brand New BlackBerry 8520 = P8,000

Plan 599 for 2 years - (Cost of Brand new BlackBerry 8520) = P6,376

Then, divide the P6,376 by 24 months to get the actual amount paid to Globe per month

P6,736 / 24 months = P265.66

Wow! P265.66 a month! That's even less than a BB Social subscription! But with the Plan 599 w/ BBMax, you get UNLIMITED internet + access to the BIS service and again, A FREE BlackBerry unit!

If you are interested, here are the requirements for the BlackBerry 599 promo:
