will it be like on telly, you're chatting away to someone, then an advert break comes on and you both have to listen to it for a minute? :???:

apparently samsung and nokia are going to provide handsets, question is are they going to be special handsets or can you just shove a sim into any old handset?

Bouygues in France already has a "spot-plan" since several years...

ooooh get you then hehehehe....:p

http://about.blyk.com/

well, my apologies for not posting it earlier for all you hunks and babes

I like the blog comment I saw about it

http://www.goebel.net/technews/2007/...live-with.html

With 26 people on their who's who page, all no doubt wanting to be earning £30K+ per annum, they've got a million quid wage bill before they start.

It will be interesteing.

217 teats and 43 free minutes a month.... not a lot really?

What's to stop you getting your kids to get "invited", then you use the sim.

[UK] Blyk
 

Well, no one is using blyk? :P

http://www.blyk.co.uk/ , 217 sms and 43 minutes for free is not so bad :P -> http://www.blyk.co.uk/about

its because its invite only aimed at students.....

i'm to old to get one, its internet only, you can't walk into a shop and buy the sim packs...yet!

hope in same bug :D

who invits me?:p

The service is supported by agreeing to receive advertising messages but it has
been reported some people have been disabling MMS in an attempt to stop this.
Not sure what the promoters think of this - or whether they have procedures in place
to stop this from happening now.

I have a Blyk UK sim card, its okay.

They have just recently stopped calls to freephone numbers that didn't affect your inclusive minutes. Now they have barred freephone numbers all together. I'll just have to wait til the end of the month for another 43 minutes again.

Blyk have announced plans to expand into Germany Belgium and Spain

interesting... expecially 4 Spain. :beer:

Well... I just read at MWC 09 that Blyk is thinking to be a MVNO outside UK, too.

Do you how many customes they have in UK?

About 200,000 in UK in Sept 2008, apparently, and then no growth for a few months

- which is presumably why, after rumours for a few weeks, it's been announced that Blyk will cose down as an MVNO here, and the customers will be merged into Orange

Some reports in the last week or two have it that Blyk will still pursue advertising-based deals with other networks, for example Vodafone Netherlands, but it seems these will be as partnerships on their existing deals rather than as a separate mvno

The Blyk website offer already seems a bit different, £15 free credit, rather than a bundle of minutes, presumably to take it in line with Orange's plans. I wonder what will happen about the age limit

24 July: Mobile Today - Orange to offer ad-funded tariff proposition to customers
