What's the best plan if I just want a BB with data, no calls

I have just upgraded my Blackberry Bold 9900 to the new Galaxy S III. However, I would like to retain my BB for emails and BBM, and perhaps, but not necessarily, some data for browsing.

Can anyone recommend the best and cheapest plan for this?

Thanks

    6 months of internet, BlackBerry Mail and BBM for one-off £20?

    Also, giffgaff do BB add-on for £3/month, but I am not sure if it works without buying some 'goodybag'.

    The cheapest way to do BBM-only is £20 for 8 months on T-mobile.

    You need to get a T-mobile SIM on the new Blackberry PAYG plan. When you top up £10, as a top up reward you get FREE BBM access. It doesn't use up any of your credit.

    You get the reward the following month, but when you first join you'll get free BBM access as soon as you top up as an introductory bonus.

    Do the same in month 2 to get the reward the following month, you now have £20 credit.

    Once the reward expires, use the credit to purchase a 6-month BBM booster. This uses up your £20 balance.

    In the last month of your booster (month 8) top up with £10 again.

    In month 9, your booster will expire but you'll get another month free as a top up reward.

    Also top up £10 again in month 9, so you'll get the top up reward again in month 10.
    At the end of month 10, buy another £20 6 month booster.

    See - 8 months of BBM access for £20! Brilliant bargain.
    £2.50 per month. Result.:D
