Some interesting news came from T-Mobile UK yesterday, as their press release indicates they will be launching a “Pay Once” service which allows customers to purchase a full year’s worth of Unlimited emails and web browsing for a total package price of £180 ($262) with no contract. Currently the only device available is the BlackBerry Pearl 8110 but for users looking to get a start with BlackBerry devices this may be an ideal situation and of course the deal could (should) be extended to other BlackBerry devices.

All is not rosy though as there are no voice minutes included nor any text messages so while the pre pay data is great, the other services if used will be where T-Mobile UK hopes to make the real money. The offer will start in T-Mobile UK stores May 1st. Would anyone out there like to see this service come to North America?
