Please remind me why I am a member of Blyk. I swear, I’ve spent more time complaining to and about them, than I have actualling using my Blyk texts and minutes; which I think is a little dissapoiting. I was so looking forward to love Blyk. Earlier on I tried phoning up Blyk to find [...]
How not to reassure your customers!
Some of you may recall my complain to Blyk I posted yesterday; this was directly aimed at my frustration of some of the Blyk staff, but also turned out to be a ranting ramble about the audacity that Blyk think they have to expand. Well it seems, they’ve finally gotten around to reading my complaint [...]
Never hesitate to complain… I don’t!
I was talking to Ewan about my phone operator Blyk; I’ve been with them since February/March, and for the most part I’ve loved the service, I mean it’s free right? Somehow, some Blyk membercare staff have got it into their heads that shouting to me down the phone, or telling me to go to the [...]
Blyk model expanding
From our Blyk Watcher Ricky… — Patrick broke the news yesterday that Blyk was expanding into Europe and it seems that the model looks to be taken up round the work!

Blyk’s one year celebration party: 145k users and growing

Blyk: ’53p per response from our audience’
Blyk, the ad-funded MVNO, has launched a ‘media.blyk.com‘ service for advertisers considering using their service to reach over 100,000 youngsters directly. It’s a smart step toward reaching out to advertisers. It’s the average 29% response rate that snares immediate interest, though, I reckon. If you’re looking for more information on Blyk and their model, their [...]
U Watch – a look at the Philippines own ‘Blyk’
Ü Watch Ü is the first ad-funded network in Philippians, and is very similar to the UK MVNO Blyk. Ewan broke the news on SMS Text News last week and since then there has been lot of talk within the blogging community about the new service. This is where Ü Watch comes in, as you [...]
Blyk move to soho; party coming up
Blyk have moved out of their city offices and into prime Soho territory, taking up residence in Great Marlborough Street to be right slap bang in the middle of UK ad-land. Smart, sensible. Makes sense. They can all start wearing black tshirts and Nikes instead of pinstripes. What’s more, they’re having a summer party next [...]
