Help......Blackberry Curve 8250 contract

Timmy_Magic

Hi, my daughter is after a BlackBerry Curve 8250 (preferbly white/violet/purple) and I was looking into getting her onto a contract.

She is currently PAYG with Orange and they have offered me 300mins anytime, unlimited texts and the Blackberry internet booster(?) all for £22.50 a month. (24mth contract)

Apparently, you need this internet booster for the internet on the phone to work properly.

Does anyone know of any cheaper deals or better deals out there???

At the end of the day I need for it to be the cheapest possible monthly but with preferbly unlimted texts, as many mins as possible and this internet booster.

Many thanks for your help as this internet booster is confusing me as some deals dont mention it at all.

how old is your daughter from passed posts its best to keep the teens on payg ,to stop big bills that cannot be payed ,
theres are few networks that offer the 8250 on paygo and some come with Blackberry internet booster(BIS) for a fixed term

this is t-mobiles offering http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/mobile-phones/phones/pay-as-you-go/blackberry/curve-8520-payg/overview/
so after the first six month its going to cost £15 for free txt and BIS ,£10 will can go on calls mms ect ,£5 BIS,
within the first six month its £10 month for free txt and BIS and the £10 will go on calls,mms,ect

put that means you have to topn it up every month to get them

The Orange contract works out at £22.50 x 24mth = £540

I would recommend buying the Blackberry 8520 on PAYG for £149, and the O2 Blackberry SimOnly 12 Month for £10pm that gives you 300Mins, unlimited text and Blackberry unlimited. £149 (phone) + £10pm x 24mth = £389 over the same term, but you are only tied in for the first 12mths.

Good luck.

Thanks for the responses guys. She will be 13 but I didn't want her to spend all her birthday money on the phone to buy it outright. Will have to have a think about whats best. :cool:
