Ok, I am gonna flatter my ego and say that my post and rage (with foul language) helped pressuring Alfa Telecom to withdraw their new BB policy (200MB, every extra MB MIGHT be charged an extra 1$)

To everyone’s surprise, Alfa announced today that the Blackberry service is (back to) for 40USD with no additional charges (subject to F.U.P. 500MB).

Two theories here:

  1. They actually responded to our demands (had endless referrals from webmail clients and a certain domain teehee, no the domain is NOT alfa.com.lb)
  2. I heard a few times that MTC Touch will be releasing a new pricing/service for BB, 400MB at the same price instead of the usual 100MB.

Whatever the reason is, it felt good. I do hope that companies start listening to our demands, to offer real services, and just be closer to the consumers, it’s a simple rule, consumer happy=more business, business 101.

For the time being, thank you Alfa Telecom (managed by Orascom).

and for the reference,
