Blackberry 8520 on Orange

My contract with Orange is about to expire, I am currently paying £15 per month for 200 mins / 200 texts. I don't usually go over my monthly limit so I don't think I'm considered a profitable customer!

I rang Orange to see what they could do and the first person I spoke to offered Blackberry 8520 for free with 200 mins, 400 texts and Blackberry internet for £25 per month.

I didn't think this was particularly good so said I would think about it, I then rang them back today and retentions offered me the same phone with 200 mins Unlimited texts and unlimited BB internet for £19.57 a month, but I would have to pay £15 for the handset.

Is this a good deal?

Any feedback is very much appreciated.

  • Not that great to be honest, I upgraded in July with the 8900(Free) which is a much better phone with 400 minutes, 300 txts u/l landline BB internet and e-mail for the same price. I was not a high band customer never going over my minutes/texts. The least you can push them for would be the same deal as what I am on.
