Orange offers unlimited Bebo access for £3. Meh.

Picture 20

Bebo, the other MySpace/Facebook, is now accessible for a fixed fee of £3 per month. Meh. Whatever. Next.

It’s a little uninspiring for the mobile industry, I feel, if you spend a ton of effort educating people that they can pay £3 to access Bebo on their mobile… then you nail them for a few pounds a meg on every other mobile site they visit. Bill shock will just put more and more people off. Before you know it, you’ve got an MMS on your hands. (That is, you kill the introduction of a service particularly as a result of stupid pricing).

Mobile Choice has the details….

For £3 a month, Orange customers can sign up to Bebo Extra, which gives them unlimited access to Bebo’s mobile internet site without paying any data charges. They’ll be able to send comments via SMS, receive notifications back in return, and also send Bebo Mails by text.
