Default Blackberry Users please advise :)
Hi, my current nokia n97 mini has finally decided it would like to be completely SH*T. As this is the 3rd handset in 12 months was wondering if i can buy a cheap blackberry and unlock it to use my sim card. A=I am on Vodafone network, it just nowhere seems to stock them on Vodafone PAYG which would make life easier. Also what is the best value blackberry to get?

TIA Mike

Your payment may go up as they will have to move you onto a blackberry tarif. I upgraded to a blackberry on a sim only deal with 02 and they sorted it.

Prob wont get a new phone out of them with 6 months left to go, but they will usually change your tariff. As long as it includes BIS you are fine.

Like Sinky said Virgin have an offer on the 8520 at the mo.

Nice! I paid around £200 for my sim free 8520 a wee while ago. I was with Vodafone and just got them to change my tariff to a BIS one so I could use it. Simples!

I've seen Vodafone advertising a BB tariff for around £20 per month, I'm with Vodafone at mo paying about £45 a month on my contract.

Think I was paying £25 a month on my phone for unlimited texts and 600 anytime minutes. Now on £30 for the same thing but with unlimited internet use for the blackberry added on.
