Best blackberry deal.

Wonderful100

Just a word of warning to check that any contract contains the full Blackberry settings package as without it you don't get full use of their phones.

My offer via Carphone Warehouse has left me unable to send picture messaging unless I want to pay another £5.00 per month(I was told that everything except sending emails was included in the price I originally paid).

BTW I have the lilac 8520 and it's a great phone and very easy to use other than the non picture messaging I love it.

The 9700 is even better but deals are thin on the ground....8520 can be had for £20 ish p/m, 8900 and 9700 are in the £30-35+ p/m bracket.

I have an 8900 on orange for 20 per mth, 400 mins, 300 txts, ul landline and full BB BIS.

Wow...where did you get that???? Give us a hint, go on......;)

Listen up!! :j

I got the deal for my sibling. It's Panther20 for £15 on a 24m contract.

Sibling was on orange PAYG, topping £10 a month on some LG toy-l;ooking phone. I hated it. Called orange sales and told them I was told that if I switch to a contract i'd get some upgrades for free (which was true...).

I also pointed out that if i got the 8520 from them on Panther20, the advertised "Orange Maps" wouldnt work as the phone has no GPS, the salesman agreed. I asked if, instead I could have unlimted internet as I wouldnt get satnav.. the saleman then pointed out a misprint on the website, the package already comes with unlted internet, but the website states only 2months internet. He then agreed to give unltd txts and take off £5 off the bill every month as I was on PAYG.

So yeh, thats how it was done .. let me know how you guys get along :T

Call 450 from your orange handset and follow the prompts about changing your service. You'll be put through to a pretty useless initial operator then he should hopefully direct you to orange sales.

i rang up......

18month contract
BlackBerry 8520
400mins
unlimted texts
unlimited internet
insurance

£26.00 month

not bad for a 18month contract i think

RightyTightyLeftyLoosey

Great deal, more mins than the Virgin Mob deal and insurance included, shorter contract too. Good for you.

Im not sure if it was actually a mistake though or if he was meant to say 18 all along. He could have done it for £21 on 24m or £26 on 18.
