A footnote to our post earlier this week noting that Telstra is once again offering Blackberry Individual Service (BIS) for consumers who purchase its handsets. While that option is being bundled for free with the Bold 9900 , you can get it on sub-$99 plans for $10 extra a month.
That still means BlackBerry on Telstra is a lot more expensive than with rival carriers. Nonetheless, it’s a lot better than the $29.95 a month that Telstra was charging previously. In another useful development for BlackBerry owners, from today you can also charge App World purchases directly to your Telstra bill.
