trying to understand "push or pull" email facilities

You can get a free Blackberry from Vodafone plus £100 quidco cashback from £12.50 per month depending on how many minutes/texts/data you want. If you are just reading text emails and not downloading big attachments then 500MB will be more than ample for you, actually 250MB would probably do!

seen from cpw subsiduarys

t mobile web 900

with 900 minutes and 500 texts and unlim data
with a blackberry refurb 8520

£30 a month but with cashback = £11 a month .

and with quidco .....and ebay for the free blackberry handset as i've a 7290 and ebay to sell the couple of nokia handsets i've got .... .. will ultimately cost close to £0 which is what i'm used to !!

and they have blackberry push email add on at £5 a month .


I'm assuming that gets me where i want to be ? .... ie

1) i can finish my current o2 calls/text tariff and transfer number to this new t mob contract

and

2) i can finish my o2 business data only tariff that i get my AOL emails pushed through

all on the one handset, my backberry 7290

Job done ?

If you're happy with Blackberries and don't really care about apps so much, then that plan sounds perfect for you.

Beware the caveats of T-Mobile's data plan, it's unlimited for "browsing and email" but only 500MB for "music, video and downloads", so if you watch too much youtube on your phone you might run out of data allowance. On the positive side they just limit you to "browsing and email" rather than charge you extra.

Dunno if you already know this but to move your number you'll need to ring O2 and as them for a PAC code, which they will SMS to you, then you ring T-Mobile, give them the code and 2 days later your phone will pick up your old number. In the meantime, probably best to carry both phones.

The 8520 is not a great phone, its battery runs out really fast, and it has no 3g so its dead slow. The minimum you want to be looking at is the Curve 9300

You can buy one from carphonewarehouse, the are out of stock a lot, but the come in about once a week or so just keep checking. It doesn't matter which network you buy it on they are all unlocked for £140. (go though quidco and save £5) and then you could get a sim only blackberry tariff. on o2 for £20 and £75 cashback from quidco. and you get a £50 shopping voucher from o2.

600 mins unlimited sms 500 bb data and wifi for 12 months.

140 +
20 x 12 = 380
less discounts
75 + 50 = 255

So for a 12 months thats £21.25 and to compare it with a 24 month contract thats £10.63

Blackberry is "pushed" & "securely", thats why business use them along with Blackberry Messenger - PUSH, compressed & secure data -EVEN from the network delivering the private data connection to Blackberry, many drug dealers use them now....what does that tell you !

Gmail uses SSL on its IMAP connections?
