Hello,
I am trying to find out if Orange do a Sim only tariff for blackberrys.

When I visit the site, it only shows iPhone or standard phone tarrifs for Sim-only.

Has anyone on the forum managed to get a blackberry sim-only deal and if so, how are you finding it? Does it work out a good deal per month? I already have a relatively new handset and would rather re-use this on a sim-free tariff than re-subscribe to another 18mth contract with Orange.

    Its any tariff with the BB addon changed at an extra £5 a month (if you want to use push email and MMB, if you don't want those than you don't need the addon)...

    Ah thanks. Yes would need add on, but this would still work out cheaper than a fixed term contract including handset. :money:

    There are new Panther sim only plans which now include a Blackberry Internet option. They start at either £10.50 or £15.50, I'm not quite sure which it is

    The Phone Co-op (who run on the Orange network) have a Blackberry SIM-only for £8.00/month but this comes with no texts or minutes so unlikely to be worthwhile for most users (their prices jump to £16/month if you want unlimited texts and 100 mins included too)

    Oddly, T-mobile PAYG rather than any contract deals seems to be the cheapest way to get Blackberry access if you don't want anything else (£20 6-month booster = £3.34 per month). Waste of time if you do need texts/minutes too, though.
