I heard from many of my friends that they heard that BBM is gettign cheaper from $40, and that there was a broadcast from mtc that the price is gonna get cut from 40 to $25 as of this month



so is it true? anyone else got that broadcast?
I heard the same as well but my dad who owns a blackberry didn't get a broadcast...
So if BBM service is getting cheaper, will normal user benefit of some kind of "change"?
I've heard about this from friends/family, but all it seems to be is just rumors AFAIK
Still haven't seen any official statement about this, so I guess a rumor it shall remain :/

On a side note, I just noticed how MTC and Alfa still keep that "Duopoly" market campaign
MTC BB service = $40/month (100MB)
ALFA BB service = $9.5/week (24MB)

100MB/24MB = 4.17
$9.5X4.17 = $39.615/month :|
I would really like to know why they don't let any other telecom company open in Lebanon?
Sorry in advance for the off-topic

The correct calculation should be on average:

30 days / 7 days per week = 4.28
4.28 * 9.5$ = 40.714/month for alpha

Or you could divide the 40$/month and get 9.37$ per week for MTC. You will notice that the price ratio (4.28) is close to the quota ratio (4.17).

In simpler terms, both offers seem identical to me. (Maybe Alpha is a little better because it gives you better flexibility).

@Monkey, start another thread. :D

in December 2010 I was Searching for Mobile Networks on my Mobile and I got the Ogero Mobile network am not sure about it, but I think they might launch a new provider in lebanon and I think it's working since couple months

this looks very interesting... but this post is from 2009 and they haven't announced anything... not even on their site so if you can find a really reliable information I would be glad because I'm sick of rumors

But maybe instead of being a duopoly it'll be a triopoly.... who knows?
a year later
Any idea about the new prices ? 1.89$ / Week ?

Anyone can confirm ?

Edit - Confirmed !
