Blyk goes live

Blyk’s ad-supported wireless service has officially gone live in the UK. The service is only open to people 16 to 24 years old and gives users 217 text messages and 43 voice messages a month for free in exchange for the users receiving three ads via text a day and doing some polls. Any additional use will start costing users cash. The MVNO is currently operating on the Orange network in the UK with no plans to expand any further.
