Can Anybody Recommend a Contract Deal?

precession

Hi there everybody,

I am just about to lose my company phone and am inexperienced with phone deals (it will be the first time I've paid for a mobile!)

My OH is on 02, so I would ideally like a tariff that'll allow me to ring her on the mobile and at home for free. Do 02 do such a tariff? If not it isn't too much of a problem.

The phone I'd like is a Blackberry pearl; I have a Blackberry 7100v at the moment which I love, but does anybody have any thoughts on the new BlackBerry?

And finally, what sort of tariff should I go for? Usage would be about average I think, applies to voice / text / data.

Many thanks.

I have to recomend Tmobiles Flexi contracts.Im on the flex35, 35 pound a month for 180 pounds worth of credit. As much as i try i only manage to spend 150 pound. you get a weekly text message to update you on how much youve spent and you can ring for free 24hrs a day also to find out.
Its the bestest! contract ive ever had.
