Blackberry and Simplicity!

Options
More research before I commit to a phone!

If I bought an unlocked Blackberry, could I then use my o2 simplicity sim tariff plus web bolt on?

Do I HAVE to get the Web and the Wireless Bolt On to use a Blackberry this way?

    For a Blackbery, you need to use a Blackberry bolt on to register for it's services with the Blackberry servers. You have the option of the Blackberry bolt on free of charge on the £20 simplicity or charged at £10pm for this. You also have the option of a pay as you go version at just under £3 per mb.

    Normal web bolt on wouldn't work with a Blackberry.

    Could you direct me to where this offer is please, I've spent ages looking on the o2 web site and going through the simplicity tarriff, can't find any mention of a free Blackberry bolt on, which I have to say is a very attractive offering.

    Thanks in anticipation

    As far as I'm aware, you cannot order your simplicity with the blackberry bolt on. Once you have it, customer service will definitely change any foc bolt on to the Blackberry bolt on for you as long as your on the £20 simplicity.

    Does the blackberry bolt on also give you unlimited internet, or if you want both (blackberry services and unlimited internet) do you have to pay more for both?

    If buying Simplicity from the O2 website, it seems to all unlimited O2 to O2 bolt on as well as the Blackberry bolt on.
