Blackberry Messenger

Tried searching but cant get my head around it.
Daughter has a HTC Wildfire on Vodafone with 7 months left on contract, 300m unlimited text, 500mb.
She now wants a Blackberry, I think it's a £5 add on for the Blackberry services.
Couple of questions.
Is the Blackberry services in addition to her 500mb as I did read the Blackberry services includes internet, messenger, email, but what amount?
Any other options for the Blackberry services on maybe just a payg as cheap as possible?
Thanks

  • Tell her and her friends to download a program called whatsapp
    its cross platform meaning that it can be used on blackberry, iphone & android.

    so for example a BB user using whatsapp can message an android using whatsapp.

    Hi john-306,

    If you wanted to get a BlackBerry for her on an early upgrade, we offer an online option to do this within the last 190 days of the contract. That means she could get the new handset in a months time and renegotiate on the plan too.

    If you wanted to buy the handset and use her current contract, you would need to add on the BlackBerry Internet Services which would then give her access to BlackBerry Messenger, emails and the App Store. This would not be deducted from her monthly data. All BlackBerry handsets available to buy on PAYG are here.

    If you want to discuss this in more detail, you can email me personally via the address here with WRT135 FAO Heidi in the subject. Please also include a link to this thread.

    Many thanks,
