MTN<\/a> has begun informing its subscribers that its existing BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS<\/a>) will be capped at 200MB and re-branded to \u201cBlackBerry Absolute\u201d from 1 March 2013.<\/p>\n

This confirms earlier reports that MTN would be introducing a cap on its BIS offering<\/a> for older (BlackBerry OS 7 and earlier) BlackBerry devices.<\/p>\n

The text of the SMS was as follows:<\/p>\n

Yello, to ensure a world class internet experience for all MTN customers, the BlackBerry BIS package on the MTN network will be capped at 200MB & will be offered as a new plan called BlackBerry Absolute as of the 01\/03\/2013.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Earlier reports based on an MTN document dated 5 February 2013 stated that MTN customers will be able to load an Internet bundle once the cap of this new BlackBerry Absolute package is exhausted.<\/p>\n

MTN was contacted for further information regarding the capping of its BIS offering, but the network did not immediately respond to media queries.<\/p>\n
