Indian consumers who are looking to buy BlackBerry handsets this festive season will get some additional benefits. With the purchase of the new BlackBerry Curve 9220 and Curve 9320, consumers can enjoy free BBM for the next one year on Airtel and Vodafone carriers. Customers who choose the Curve Duos before December 9, 2012, can avail the benefits of free BBM services with the same carriers.

However, the offer is only valid for those who purchase the BlackBerry Curve 9220 or the Curve 9320 between November 9 and December 9, 2012. The benefit of this offer will only be available to new subscribers on Airtel and Vodafone. Airtel subscribers will have to send a text message with the word ‘BBM’ to 543210 for activation of the service.
