The Airtel BlackBerry service is designed to give customers across its various segments remote access to information. In addition to the latest services, Airtel BlackBerry suites of products boast of unique features such as Enterprise Solutions and Internet Solutions. This allows Airtel customers to synchronize their exchange mail to their Blackberry device. 

Another superb feature offered by Airtel Blackberry in its Blackberry Kamili (formerly known as Blackberry Internet Service) is the Blackberry Protect. This feature allows a one to retrieve information from their Blackberry device remotely by simply logging into a webpage. With this feature, one can also trace the whereabouts of their device by remotely tracking it on a particular webpage.

Blackberry service is an internet driven service. This means that, the network that you are hosting your Blackberry service has to have perfect internet connection with most extensive reach. Airtel currently has the greatest internet in Tanzania. Airtel 3.75G speeds guarantee a perfect user experience of Blackberry service. Failure to have these speeds will give a customer poor experience which is what seems to be one of the biggest Airtel’s competition in data related services offerings.
