tmobile complete 300x235 First Ever Prepaid BlackBerry Launched with T Mobile Complete In the past T-Mobile has been somewhat of underdog compared to other large US carriers.  That is until recently when they released some incredible new plans and decided to add the BlackBerry Bold 9700 to its lineup.  It looks like T-Mobile won’t stop there as they have just launched a new prepaid plan package called T-Mobile Complete.

This package will include the first ever prepaid BlackBerry along with two other select Samsung phones and a third device that is still unknown.  The T-Mobile Complete BlackBerry package will include the Curve 8520 which according to Engadget will sell for $299.99.  Seems like a pretty hefty price but when you consider the first month is free and that there is no contract agreement it may just work out better in the long run.  T-Mobile Complete packages will be sold at Best Buy and select Wal-Mart stores.  Plans will start at $50 per month while the most attractive plan is set at $80 per month.  That plan will include unlimited text, talk and web features.  What better way to kick off the holiday season than a hot new prepaid plan.  The BlackBerry Curve 8520 sure seems like a good stocking stuffer now doesn’t it?

From the press release:

T-Mobile announces the availability of T-Mobile Complete, a pre-packaged no-annual contract solution that offers the value of a monthly plan and the first pay-in-advance BlackBerry smartphone from a national U.S. carrier. With T-Mobile Complete, customers can choose from four handsets starting at $59.99, which includes first month free. Customers can also choose from a range of unlimited plans starting at $50 per month. T-Mobile Complete is currently available nationwide at Best Buy and at select Walmart locations.

T-Mobile Complete kits are the easiest way to give phones this holiday season. Just buy the kit, wrap it, give it as a gift, and the recipient can activate service from anywhere, anytime – and they get the first month free! One of the four devices available through T-Mobile Complete is the BlackBerry Curve 8520 smartphone, the first pay-in-advance BlackBerry smartphone available from a national carrier. Smartphones will be a hot gift option this holiday season – in fact, T-Mobile expects smartphones to account for 40 percent of its sales in the fourth quarter of 2009.

T-Mobile Complete is just one great holiday gift option from T-Mobile. With a wide array of devices this holiday season – including the broadest lineup of Android smartphones of any carrier in the U.S. – there’s something for every type of customer.

    T-Mobile did NOT release the "first ever" pre-paid BlackBerry service - Optus Ausytralia did, nearly two weeks ago!

    Still, it's good to see more service providers showing an interest in a pre-paid service - I'm not a big fan of pre-paid systems, but I guess they meet the needs of some people...
  • Yes you're correct good find but T-mobile is the first US carrier to do so.

    These have been out...ive seen them around for a few weeks.
