Bis - bbm

7ewis

My contract for my BlackBerry ends in December, I don't want to renew the contract because I eventually want to get an iPhone instead and the contract was only £15 a month.

At the moment I get:

100 minutes
500 texts
1GB data
and the phone

What I want to do is keep the phone, and somehow have a cheap contract, or cheap way of using pay as you go, but I still want to have BBM, as I use it more than anything which is why 500 texts was enough.

I looked at GiffGaff, but the decent contracts with data are £10 + £3 add on for BBM, which is hardly any cheaper than my current contract, and I got a phone with it... They also have £5 a month contracts, but without data so if I bought the £3 BIS add on, I would be paying £7 + data...

I'm looking for a simple contract/pay as you go deal that gives me something like:

~50 mins
~100 texts
~50mb
+BIS

I don't want to pay over £10. I would prefer to have more than that, but I am making a compromise to make it cheaper. Also the data is a low amount as my phone doesn't have 3G so it's very difficult to use over 20mb a month... But I don't think anyone would offer that low amount. It's only really for BBM and Twitter anyway.

Sorry if this is a bit long, but what would you money savers suggest I do?

does twitter count as "browsing"? If so the T-mobile blackberry plan might be okay?

Hmm, that looks quite good! So I can just top up £10 a month and get bbm, then my £10 to spend on texts and calls when I need to!

Yeah, I'm not sure what 'browsing' counts as. Twitter isn't a necessity, but I would prefer a data plan even if it is small just so I don't accidentally go over if Facebook sends me a notifications or something similar...

I think browsing is everything except downloading and streaming.

Have you noticed that T-mobile offer 6 month BlackBerry Booster for one-off £20 on PAYG?
