Think I may have made a mistake - blackberry question

asandwhen

I have just purchesed Blackberry 8520 from E2SAVE

on Orange "Panther £30 Blackberry Data (24mths) " tarriff.

£30 per month for 24 months with £210 auto cashback and £45 quidco.

I assumed that Blackberry data included internet but now I cant see that it does - on the E2SAVE website it says :

Now you can access your emails wherever you are with Internet Talk for BlackBerry® from Orange giving you an UNLIMITED* data allowance to use for emails.


My questions are does this include any browsing at all? does it include the blackberry messenger? Im abit worried now.

Just found this on the Orange site :


Use your Blackberry to send and receive emails, access the Internet and enjoy more talk time with friends.

pay monthly

• Panther plan – includes unlimited push email and data (fair usage policy applies), plus minutes and text as part of the monthly access fee. A range of Panther plans are available from £25 a month.

So I am abit confused now is it just email or data aswell - gues I will just have to wait till morning and ring them - DAMN YOU NIGHT SHIFT

Panther 30 doesn't seem to include 500mb for browsing, only Panther 45 and over get 500mb browsing according to their website. Hope this helps.

INCORRECTTTTTT

ALL PANTHER PACKAGES GAVE 500MB INTERNET, AND UNLIMITED PUSH EMAIL.

Orange's website itself has a misprint saying you get 2months free!

To the OP, why didnt you just ring orange up and get the Panther 25 for £20?? I got Panther 25 for £15 the other day with a free 8520. Includes the 500mb of data.push, and i got unlimited txting thrown in for free as well.

If you have an orange PAYG sim you can get £10 off the in stoore price, hence Pantehr 25 for £15. I imagine you can therefore yet Pannther 30 for £20 if you do the above.

All panther packages some with data/email @ 500mb though. Thats what makes it a panther package, they're made for Blackberrys

Many Thanks ... Thanks what I wanted to hear.

The reason I went for the package I did is because I got it from E2SAVE and got an auto cashback deal.

£30 per month for 24 months - £210 auto cashback + £45 quidco cashback - This makes the line rental about £19 per month.

Paying £30 for Panther 30 isnt the norm thuogh, unless you purchase in-store. Panther £30 online would set you back £25 to begin with. Calling up orange sales and appear to be haggling would take another £5 off. Standard rate would have been £20. I prefer the peace of mind.. plus you always know exactly what you're getting, when, and for how much!

Glad to hear it myself, I thought lufcgirl said that all Panther packages come with 500mb browsing but when I checked the site it said differently.

I know what you are saying and its whatever suits really - The cashback is automatic cashback (cheque sent within 28 days of start of contract) so its not redemption. I know I will be paying £30 per month but the real figure is £19 when you factor in the cashback. Id rather have the money sitting in my bank at the beggining of the contract earning me interest than save the £10 per months over the contract.

did u get ur sim yet? does it have unlimited internet as the person above stated it standard on panther tariffs? i am also thinking of getting it, on panther 25 thou

I am confused. I have a Bold 9700 on a Panther 40 contract. CPW confirmed that the contract included BIS push e-mail, 500Mb internet and Orange maps. I do not doubt d. m but, like many other posters, I have found Orange's website, price plans and ts and Cs very confusing. Where does it state that 500Mb is included in Panther 40 Plans, and how can new users monitor data usage? I am not keen to test the 'system' by waiting for a data charge to appear on my bill. Advice please. Many thanks.
