Hi guys,


Hope ur all enjoying your lunch now.. theres just some things i need to ask specially to those who uses Blackberry phones. as we all know weekly theres a Qr. 35 charge for BIS. what are the range that this 35 riyals cover. is it only for the use of BBM, emails going to our phones.. 15 minutes ago i checked my balance it was still 105 riyals. i opened my facebook account and watch a certain video uploaded by one of my friends.. ive watch it for about 5 minutes.. then it stopped.. then messages came saying that my balance has dropped to 5 riyals then another came saying i dont have credit anymore. in just 5 minutes of time all that 105 riyals was eaten up just like that? few may ask why i used my mobile to watch it.. the answer.. we are the one of the lucky ones whom facebook is not allowed in office. anywayz, has someone experience what had just happened to me.. is this normal? 


 


                     Any comments will definetly be appreciated.


                       May we all have a great day ahead of us.

I don't watch videos on BB, nor do I use any other browser. But otherwise, I am a heavy user of emails and BBM. I have never been charged above the basic rental in the last 2 yrs.

you can also disable the "pictures" in the setting menu;

this avoids gobbling up large data associated with pics

Data charges are high. Do not watch YouTube etc on your phone unless you are willing to pay for it.

Connect to wi fi in your office and then watch whatever you want. You've learnt your lesson
