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

I like the blog comment I saw about it

Apparently before every phone call you have to answer questions like "Which of these celebs are you the most like: Eva Longoria, Penélope Cruz, Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, ... ?" and Blyk recommends you the adequate L'Oreal lipstick.

That makes me wonder what happens to customers who don't look similar to super models. Are they not allowed to talk?

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.

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

16 July: Blyk stops MVNO to be Orange agent - Mobile News
