Did you ask if it was a refurbished one or a bran spanking new one?
Did they not offer you £20 per month 600 mins 1000 text & BB internet?

i did ask about that but they wouldnt do it!! i didnt ask about whether the phone was new or a refurb. how can you tell if it is a refurb??

Mainly if it does not come in it's original packaging, I would phone up to make sure. I will be tomorrow.

I wonder if they don't sell refurbished phones anymore what they do with them.

Those who return their handsets within the 7 or 14 days grace period what do they do with them? To me they are used handsets or am I wrong?
And I just do not want a used BB 8900 well not for 18 months anyway!

Refurbed phones are probably given to people when an exchange is done on a handset.......

Will give it a go then...

I thought deal was £20/month and £150 if no phone. Means £20 x 18= £360, minus £150 = £210 for 18 months or £11.67/month.

This is £15 x 18= £270, minus £150 = £120 for 18 months or £6.67/month.

I was planning to upgrade to the BB 8900 on the £20 tarrif, sell it for £250-300 (they seem to be selling for that on ebay) so effectively have around £5 line rental. But if I get £15 line rental and a credit, I'd rather do that than mess around for a quid or two a month!!

Edit, beat me to it Redux. I'm not sure that offer is £15/month on a 18 month contract.

If u get a web bolt on with this deal u will not be able to use the internet facility with any other phone it only works with blackberrys

Got the web bolt on rather than the blackberry bolt-on, can choose even if you get a bb.

Took an upgrade with the bb 8900 yesterday, made it clear I wasn't going to use it so took the web bolt on instead of the bb one. You can choose ANY bolt on, regardless of phone chosen.

Why would you take web instead of BB?
