    You will only be able to use calls and texts, plus some third party applications.

    Because Blackberry handsets need the Blackberry Internet Service (or corporate equivalent) as well as normal internet.

    Could I ask, will this work in an unlocked (officially, by O2) iPhone 3GS? Including the data aspect, so I can surf, e-mail and use/update/download iPhone apps etc online?

    Thanks.

    According to Tesco Mobile shop it will be fine with the iPhone 3GS. They tried to tell me it wasn't suitable for the iPhone 4 and then finally admitted it was only because it wasn't a micro sim.

    Excellent, sounds like a cracking deal then. £10/month for what I am basically paying O2 £35/month for currently.

    Can I ask one more question, can I port my O2 number over to it, presumably by getting a PAC code when I cancel my O2 contract.

    Thanks.

    The O2 Simplicty deal is £15pm for 300 minutes. Remember though that part of that £35 was to pay for the handset.

    Yes you can.

    Are you at the end of your contract?

    My contract is up on 1st March, so presumably I can request my PAC code on 1st Feb.

    The Tesco SIM deal sounds better than the o2 Simplicity deal as you get more minutes for £5 less per month. Unless I am missing something obvious?

    doubt if the Tesco £10 SIM only deal will still be available by March. They said end December but seem to have let it run a bit longer. Then it's going to £15 they told me.
