Cheapest BB 9700?

Looking at getting my first contract phone and first blackberry and i ideally want the 9700 as itll most likely be at least 18months with it so i'd quite like 3G

i dont mind about the amount of texts or minutes as long as theyre around the 200 mark each, just unlimited internet and includes the Blackberry data...

Is it possible to get it for £25 a month?
Or am i going to have to get the 8900 for that price :/

Thanks!

    mobiles.co.uk (can't comment on how good they are, know a couple of people who have used them without any problems but there are a few threads on here that would suggest otherwise) have a 9700 orange, 900 mins, 500 texts, internet and BIS £35 per month free phone and £100 auto cashback (no claim needed) plus you can get £50 via quidco so works out at £28.75 per month after the cashback.

    Following work out slightly more expensive but maybe options to reduce the minutes and therefore the price.
    Similar deal, same place but £50 auto cashback, £30 per month, 600 mins everything else the same.

    Vodafone direct, £90 cashback from quidco, free phone, £35 per month for 600 mins, internet, BIS and unlimited text.

    O2, £100 for the phone, £30 per month for the same deal as vodafone and if you can find someone with an O2 Open code they can get money back - think it's about £75.

    I've looked into this - lol, interested if anyone has seen any really good deals!
  • All sound really good i just really can't afford anything above £25 a month :/
    ill go haggle in phones4u tomorrow and see if that gets me anywhere, else ill try and find some more info on this BuyMobilePhones.net!

    thanks for the info!

    I've purchased 2 contract phones from buymobilephones.net.

    First one had autocashback and they paid without any problems.

    Second one - have sent paperwork for 1st cashback claim, and have got an email that it has been approved and will pay into my bank account in next 28 days.

    From my previous research about this company, it sounds ok...There is a separate thread on buymobilephones.net as far as I am aware wherein you will find lot more information.
