Orange Blackberry Curve
Just picked up the BB Curve for DD from Asda that comes with Orange Sim and £10 credit. Was going to try and set it up for her before I wrap it but can anybody tell me how I go about getting BBM on it as its all she has been going on about at the moment. TIA

Many thanks Beckydee, Just rang orange to activate the SIM and it will take up to 24 hours so many thanks for the heads up. Need to ring back when its activated to set up BBM etc. :j0 -

Quote this to the sales person when you go to set up the SIM:
Dolphin Plan: the £10 credit you've paid for plus these great monthly rewards; 400 free texts plus free internet*
*Dolphin internet usage capped at 100MB per month. (250MB per month for iPhone users)
So now you have 400 free texts and 100MB of data for use with third party apps etc. Your daughter will know.
Now you need BIS and talk time.
£5(to be taken out of the £10 credit) for the BlackBerry Internet Service(comes with 50MB of inclusive data) with the remaining £5 to be used on an Orange Extra; 100 mins 1 month £5. Calls after the 100 minute bundle has been used are 5p/min. You can purchase this bundle by sending a text containing MINS 5 to 6620.
So now you have BIS with 50MB of inclusive data, 100 MB of Internet, 400 texts and 100 minutes of calls.
Confirm with Orange when these packages will actually kick in.
But, most importantly, you must top-up at least another 20p, otherwise the free text and Internet bundle will not work.By bringing your credit up from zero, you'll also once again be able to take advantage of the free allowances that you get from topping up that month e.g. your 300 free texts from topping up £10 on your Dolphin Tariff.
You can do a Tiny Top Up at an Orange retail store or a shop with a PayZone sign. Good luck.0
