If you get unlimited texts why do you NEED to have a blackberry for the BB Messenger?

The other person may not have unlimited txt's, you can send group msg's, it's a bit quicker then txt's - plus quite a few other reasons.

The Bold 9700 is an excellent handset, by far the best I have ever used.

I am on 3 Mobile. I pay £23.00 for unlimited texts, emails and Internet and 500 voice mins.

Blackberry messages, PIn to PIN Blackberry messages and Blackberry Instant Messenger are all free and unlimited.

No idea if this link will work but try here :-)

(System would not allow me to post a reply with a link -but see the original posting -nms)

I followed this link but it wasn't clear if it was £30 after or before a £7 discount, so I contacted 3 mobile. Two different advisors told me it is £37 less £7, ie £30.

KingElvis: If you have signed up recently, I would check it out yourself. It sounds like it's not £23, but please let us know if you've had a bill from them and it is!!

Sorry, it's actually £24 I pay per month. It may have been a deal they were doing at the time or something cos I can only find the £30 one on their website.

My latest bill was around £26, but only because I stupidly rang some 0845 numbers.

Exhortation

I have a similar deal to KingElvis on Three. I get 500mins, "unlimited" texts, "unlimited" Three-2-Three calls and also all the stuff you'd expect with a Blackberry (emails, internet, messenger etc.). Three have now clarified their contracts, though, and the texts are now limited to 5000 and the same network calls limited to 5000 mins. Also, they don't do 18 month contracts anymore, so if they're still charging £30 a month then it isn't as good a deal as it once was (albeit the 9700 is a better phone than the 9000 I have).
