Singapore, 28 August 2009 -- Singapore Telecommunications Limited (Singtel) today announced that it will introduce the lowest entry-level BlackBerry® service plan in the market called BlackBerry® Value. It is ideal for the youth and young working adults who can now email and enjoy instant messaging on the move.

The plan also allows customers to download and view attachments, send SMS and MMS, and enjoy WAP access via IDEAS.
