Thought I'd start a new thread.

Think I've finally decided on the 8900 Curve. Just need to select a network now. (Newcastle upon Tyne)

Any opinions?

Jaybird-UK

One2one or Rabbit network

Im on Orange, no issues with coverage, service good, and web access and setup is simple (like me)

Well done on choosing mate, get on the whole BB Messenger thing too
PS Orange have deals on their data plans at the moment, take a lookie... Mobile Phones | Broadband & Mobile Broadband UK Deals | Free Web Email | Orange.co.uk

Currently got Three and voda and both seem "fine" in my house. Looked at orange, but seems no unlimited date tariffs?

Vodafone looks to be the "best" deal, but I'm probably missing something.

Thanks

o2!! tariff might be slightly higher, but offer treats, priority tickets etc etc

Ideally looking for 600 mins any network, 2000+ texts...and some kind of decent blackberry type bundle.

Ere ya go mate..


FREE 8900

Oh and Orange Wednesdays lol

PPS, a friend who recently got an 8900 on O2 cannot find anywhere online to get online setup of the Blackberry account. Orange do it via the web or by the phone.

Looks like I'll have to pay £34.26 to get the unlimited access.

Thank you

Snazy

No mate, buy online and its £29.36 a month

All the blackberry packages are "unlimited" date but fair usage policy applies.
How much you expecting to use ?

Other option is to apply the blackberry package to ANY other tariff on Orange.
Unlimited access for £4.89 with all pay monthly plans under £34.26

So, reckon this has the unlimited data due to the fact that the tariff should be £34.26?

EDIT - I'll give them a ring tomorrow! Thanks anyway bud

Snazy

Naaa thats the "before savings" price. Due to the sale, its £5 off that, hence the 29 odd quid.
I have to say I am paying far less that that on my tariff.

Good luck getting what you want, whoever you choose to go with. But I cant say enough good things about my service.

I don't understand why "unlimited wifi"

noblechris

iTrader: (1)

neither do i m8, just what it says on their website

trading my blackberry in next month for the iphone

bigsinky

neither did i????? is wifi not free? obviously are participating wifi hotspots.

noblechris

iTrader: (1)

yep wifi is free on mine without the add on...never used it though as i have blackberry web package for email etc, phone is online 24/7 that way and get all my emails, messenger etc

Snazy

Yup the wifi is for hotspots, unlimited free access via these. Airport lounges etc, which require subscription. Unlike the free ones you get in Maccy's etc.
Not that I am likely to bother using them anyway, my GPRS/EDGE suits me fine.

Chris, I prefered setting mine up thru the net. Can be done on the phone, but for initial setup I found it easier via the PC
£34 sounds about average for a decent package I would say. Although Orange are offering a discount, taking it to £29 at the mo.
As for the add on packs, I dont even manage to use my 800 mins, let alone needing more lol.
