Blackberry help needed please

Have bought DD a sim free blackberry, so she can use with a local sim card when she comes home (very moneysaving)!

Does anyone know which provider to use in the UK, for a sim card which will allow access to the blackberry services as well as calls, texts, internet access. Not fussed if its pay as you go or monthly but most of them seem to include a phone which we don't want.

Other thing is I don't really want to pay £30 per month as she won't use that amount of calls etc.

Thanks for any help given:)

    tesco do one
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    Tesco's is £15 p/m and includes BIS - most networks will do BIS as a 'bolt-on- on PAYG for £5 p/m (obviously on top of calls etc)

    You've got that wrong. The O2 BB Bolt ON for £5 gives you access only. No data is included.
    Text and Web for BlackBerry
    Up to 500 UK texts, 500MB UK data plus BlackBerry email and unlimited Wi-Fi when you top-up £15 a month.
