Good deal for a Blackberry internet and emails

smithson5

Hello

I've got a Blackberry Bold 9900, and I'm looking to get a contract or PAYG deal for it.

My priorities are internet (I can browse for hours!) and emails. I'd also like the option for to be able to call and text now and again (I rarely need to but I make the odd short call/text occasionally.)

I'm happy to go with any network (except T-Mobile), on contract or PAYG. I'm just confused with what seems to be a minefield of different deals!

Could anyone recommend me any good deals/tariffs that would suit my needs?

Many thanks, smiths

What needs? Are they not far too vague?
How much data? Do you need BIS?

PAYG T-Mobile SIM with the £20 6 month BlackBerry Booster.

6 month BlackBerry Booster £20 6 months of internet, BlackBerry Mail and BBM Text 6MONTHBB to 441

No need to go for one of their Smart Packs as you won't make use of it. Just take the Text or International Plan, top up with £20 or more and then apply the 6 Month BlackBerry Booster.

You'll get full BB access for six months, plus 100 free texts until the end of that first month and then unlimited texts(If you go for the Text Plan) the next for that £20 topup and the subsequent Booster application.

Another way to get the same deal for less, is to purchase the SIM already preloaded with £20 of credit for £14.99.

That is the best deal that you can hope to get.

You can use the LocalPhone CallBack service to make calls in order to avoid the high rate for voice calls.

^^ thank you. I'll go with any network bar T-Mobile (sorry just edited my original post for that - I've found their customer service to be abysmal).

So does anyone have any other suggestions please?

I've got a Blackberry 9900: looking for a deal with at least 500 GB internet and emails, with the option to make a short call/text occasionally.

Cheers, smiths

Blackberry Internet Service.

its what blackberries use for certain data and mail.
without it, things like the built in email, blackberry browser, BBM, etc wont work

It's a PAYG service! Why would you need customer service??
If you think anyone else's PAYG customer service will be better, you should think again.
Just get the SIM and try it it. It will either fit your needs or it won't. It's PAYG, so you are not tied in to anything.
This is a website for for people hoping to save money and to get the best deals, not for drama queens.
People will likely be less willing to help you when you reject the best offers for silly 'reasons'.

Indeed, with T-Mobile deal I described, you will no longer be wasting £5.10 per month.
So don't bite your nose off to spite your face.
Six months of BIS for £14.99 can't be beaten.

Next best deal is Ovivo(Vodafone network). You get a free allowance every month when you buy a SIM for £15 and just need to add BIS for £5 per month.
So a total cost of £51 for six months.

Just because I don't want to go with T-Mobile (payg or not) doesn't give you the right to label me a drama queen. You have no idea of the problems I've had with T-Mobile in the past (mis-sold a contract which went to Oftel and a dispute went on for months).

I know what this website is for - which is precisely why I'm here hoping to save money and get the best deal.

the £5.10 you're currently paying for blackberry services is BIS.
its just another name for it. BIS being the more official name
