BBM Cheap
I have had a BlackBerry for nearly 2 years now, and my contract is going to end in December, eventually I will be looking at getting an iPhone, but I think for now, I want to keep the BlackBerry whilst I save up some money.
So I am just looking for a cheap way to get BBM, as its what I use the most. My current contract is with Virgin, I get 100 Minutes, 500 Texts, and 1GB of Data, and obviously BBM.
I wouldn't mind having something similar to that, but without a new phone included. I currently pay £15 a month, and that included the phone for free. So I would like something cheaper than that, SIM only.
The phone doesn't have 3G, so even 50/100MB's per month would be fine instead of the 1GB, what is my best option?
(I know about GiffGaff, but I'm not sure whether the plans would be good for me. Maybe the £5 a month Unlimited texts plan, with some extra money on there for calls? Also, if I paid £3 extra for the BBM add-on, would I also need to pay for internet? Or do they include internet with the add-on purely for BBM?)

Think about T-Mobile.
Use the dropdown box to select the PAYG SIM that you prefer.
If you prefer Unlimited Text messages, choose that SIM.
Then every time you top up £10 you will get a month of unlimited SMS whilst still having your £10 to spend.
But you should top up £20 or £30 at first and purchase a six month BlackBerry Booster for £20.
That will get you six months of BIS with unlimited browsing and 100 text messages until the end of the month that you joined, then 500MB of data for downloading and unlimited text messages the next month.
After that you can top up as as when(no requirement), just remembering that your future top ups buy you an allowance from the 1st of the next month.
Other networks options may require compulsory top ups each month in order to keep BIS.0 -
sorry to be thick niftydigits, but whats BIS?0

£8 with giffgaff buys a hokey cokey goody bag & BB add-on. iirc 100 min, 300 texts and with the BB add-on you don't need data it all goes through the BB servers & so is included!
