It seems like the market is crying out for a decent data roaming sim. Data Abroad seems to one of those areas that will grow exponentially.

Re: EXCLUSIVE: Skype, 3 and T-Mobile merger is in the pipeline

Ahh I forgot about the 30% figure, I did remeber the compettion was rumoured to going to block a potential merge (can't remember the operators) here in the UK.
These things may not be possible be would it be the best for the customer? I personally do not think it will.

The regulators would never allow T-Mobile and 3 to merge even in a recession.

I have to agree I would simply never buy flip phone as they are simply not cool. However apart from that function and price is much more important then style.

I agree press email not being working is not a good thing? It still all seems a little suspect as a Blyk user I have not had a brand message for months. Are Blyk saying that as a MVNO the business is not sustainable? For me the answer is yes. This is why they are turning to the larger MNO's to bring the model to their plans. Now I am convinced this is where it will work. What will happen to the Blyk's core asset now? Will we be told to leave or will we be offered a plan on another network?

Ahh that is a good idea, I must see if they have a 5th edition. The point is that the page *should* be viewable on a mobile browser anyway. I cannot see a normob using something like devicescape.

Thanks Dan.
All I could gather about Virgin's service was it was provided by t mobile I have no idea about how the back end works.
The NE east coast services sounds much better then the west coast!

I asked @edent on twitter. He works for voda. He said Voda sell the iPhone in a number of countries (PT, GR, EG etc). It also works on N95 8GB & f490. More coming soon.

I think that Apple will be going multi carrier in the UK. If they were launching a touchscreen portal then why have it so I phone centric.

Re: Justifying R O I For A Small Reach Campaign

rickyc — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 11:44:32 -0000

The clear issue I think is the quality of the marketing. Where else can you actually engage in a dialogue with your customer? In fact scrap that how do you reach the 16 - 24 market? Let's think they very rarely watch TV and if they do you can bet it is on demand or downloaded. Online maybe, I wonder how many of those use pop up blockers or simply do not react to online advertising? Remember these guys are the online generation. The easiest way to reach them is through their mobile something they carry all the time. If it is permission base advertising then their is no issue.

Where else can you send me your next tv advert? and you can get feedback from me by sms. or where you can give me a small review of the latest film and the whack me 2 4 1 voucher? I think that would be 100% more effective then Orange Wednesdays. Orange Wednesdays requires the user to do the work.

The Blyk model is not niche at all and we are starting to see the larger MVNO's starting to take notice of the model. T Mobile have started something very similar in Czech Republic and former Blyk CEO is now at o2. I wonder what he is doing there? ;)

Trust me I think the return on investment from a Blyk Campaign will be extreamly high because the users of Blyk do not see the adverts as adverts.

Oh and just in case you are wondering if I am Blyk Spokesman? Nope I am your typical Blyk user.
