Orange contract - get a Blackberry?

TimRogers

I am in the middle of an Orange Dolphin 15 Web Promo contract which I started in July, and I would like to get a Blackberry instead of my current Sony Ericsson phone. Is this possible? Can you buy one of the new Orange PAYG Blackberry's and then add a bundle?

Any Orange payg BB will work.
You need to get BIS package (Blackberry internet service) added if you want push email working, or a data package if you just want browsing.

General Gift Voucher Terms
The offer is a Pay As You Go BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) bundle (’the Offer’) which is available to all new and existing Pay As You Go customers on selected handsets only.
The Offer provides browsing and a push email service for £5 per calendar month. Pay As You Go BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) usage includes browsing and push email data traffic routed between the user’s BlackBerry (or BlackBerry Connect enabled) device and the BlackBerry BIS service hosted jointly by Orange and Research In Motion Ltd (RIM). However devices may also be configured to browse or pass email using other services not part-hosted by RIM. Such data usage is not included and will be chargeable according to the data charging rates set out for your pay as you go tariff.
The Offer must be activated by a customer calling PAYG customer services on 450 from an Orange handset.
The Offer is a £5 monthly re-occurring charge, which will be deducted from existing credit. The customer can stop the offer by texting STOPBB to the short code 247. The Offer will only stop at the end of the calendar month.
The Offer is subject to a fair usage policy of 50MB per month and is not to be used for other activities, such as non-Orange internet based streaming services, voice or video over the internet, peer to peer file sharing, and non-Orange internet based video. Should you exceed the fair use policy or if such use is detected, notice may be given and Network protection controls may be applied to all services which Orange does not believe constitutes mobile browsing. This may result in, at Orange’s discretion, your inability to purchase the Offer, a reduced speed of transmission, suspension of data browsing services and/or suspension of your account.
Any unused part of the Offer will not rollover into the following calendar month.
The Offer can only be used in the UK. Any data roaming outside the UK will be charged at the standard PAYG roaming data charges.

The Offer is subject to your normal Terms and Conditions for the Supply of Orange Network Services which are to be found at the back of your Orange phone user guide and at https://www.orange.co.uk
The Offer does not permit use of any other BlackBerry from Orange service concurrently with BIS. If the customer requires any other Blackberry service (including use of BES) then the customer should contact their account manager or retail store for terms, conditions and pricing.

hi, it seems that £5 per month doesn't cover full Internet browsing. If I want "push email" and full internet browsing on a Blackberry, either PAYG or contract, what will it cost me ? thanks
