Brussels,  17 August 2011 - Starting  today, Mobistar prepaid  customers too can
opt  for a BlackBerry® offer. It's an option that prepaid customers can activate
on  their Tempo tariff plan with a code  or an SMS. The option costs 7 euros per
month  for a volume of 100 MB and is  valid for one month. The new option offers
Mobistar  prepaid customers  the benefits  of accessing  a number of BlackBerry®
services,  such as  BlackBerry® Messenger  (BBM), a  blackberry.mobistar.be mail
address,  BlackBerry App World(TM), but they can also access the mobile internet
and the social networks Facebook®, Netlog and Twitter®.

After  the BlackBerryÃ’ Enterprise  Edition and the  BlackBerryÃ’ Internet Edition
for  business,  Mobistar  is  now  also  launching a BlackBerryÃ’solution for its
prepaid  customers.  More  and  more  residential  customers  today  are  buying
smartphones  and using  e-mail and  surfing services  via Mobistar's mobile data
network.  With  this  BlackBerry®  offer,  Mobistar prepaid customers can access
anytime,  anywhere the e-mail and chat  services of BlackBerry®, surf the mobile
internet  and access the BlackBerry App  World(TM), with more than 35,000 mobile
applications  specially developed  for BlackBerry  smartphones. The showpiece of
the  prepaid option is BlackBerryÃ’ Messenger,  one of the world's largest mobile
social  networks with  over 45 million  users. The  Mobistar customers  can chat
unlimited  with all  their BlackBerryÃ’  friends, even  when abroad and with non-
Mobistar BlackBerryÃ’ users as well.

All Tempo customers can activate the BlackBerry® option by sending 'BB' to 8079
or  via  the  code   #123#  (chose  2 "reload  options", then 4 "mobile internet
options"  and 4 "BlackBerry prepaid  edition).  The option  is valid for 31 days
and  the  service  is  discontinued  if  not  reloaded.  The customer receives a
notification  when the 100MB has been used or the validity period of 31 days has
expired. Customers then can reload for another 100 MB or a period of 31 days and
will  be charged 7 euros. The first activation before 31 January 2012 is free of
charge.

The  launch of this service reaffirms  Mobistar's ambition to further facilitate
the mobile data access to all their customers.
