As part of our commitment to improve simplicity and give you the best value possible, Vodacom will be discontinuing the Blackberry Internet Services (BIS) and Blackberry Enterprise (BES) services for all prepaid, hybrid and contract price plans from the 1st of December 2019. 

Don't worry! You will not be disconnected and all services will remain active by means of buying Vodacom voice and data bundles or upgrading your contract to any of Vodacom price plans.
