Shortly after becoming the first operator to sell the flagship BlackBerry 10 in its shops nation-wide, leading telecommunications service provider Airtel Nigeria has unveiled special data bundled packages exclusively for the top notch smart phone device.

The Airtel’s BlackBerry10 (BB10) Data Plan which features three different bundles: BB10 Max, BB10 Mid and BB10 Lite, guarantees customers up to 1.5GB, offering more bytes than any other in the market.

The Airtel BB10 plan is available to both prepaid and postpaid customers, according to Blueflower, a PR firm working for Airtel. “Postpaid customers can access the data plan by contacting their Key Account Managers or visiting the nearest Airtel showroom for activation,” a statement by Blueflower said.

Airtel prepaid customers are to dial *440*7# for the BB10 Max monthly plan; *440*10# for the BB10 Mid monthly plan and *440*13# for the BB 10 Lite monthly plan.
