Vodafone has rolled out a 10-per-month data plan for companies that want to run Research in Motion’s BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express software.
RIM announced BES Express a free version of BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) in February. Vodafone began offering its BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS), which it calls the ‘BES Express tariff’, on Thursday.

Although BES Express can be downloaded and installed on a company’s servers for free, using it through a BlackBerry device requires a BIS mobile data plan. According to Vodafone’s BlackBerry product manager for enterprise, David Bicknell, the operator named its BIS plan the BES Express tariff “to keep it simple”.
BES Express lets BlackBerry users synchronise their email, calendar appointments, contacts and notes with their organisation’s Microsoft Exchange or Windows Small Business Server.
For their 10 a month, the user gets 500MB of data. An additional 2.50 per month adds support from Vodafone’s BlackBerry-certified and Microsoft-accredited teams. Vodafone also offers a 400 set-up process, either on-site or remotely, from a BlackBerry-certified specialist.
The tariff is available as an add-on to all Vodafone Business plans.
