new network/deal

[sansnom]

Hey guys

I want to switch from O2 but I'm having a hard time finding a reasonable deal that suits me and my needs.

Basically, this is what I have atm:

O2
£20/month
600 Mins, 500 Texts
Unlimited Internet, Unlimited Blackberry

What I want is:
Free 9700 Blackberry
~£20/month
~300 minutes free, ~300 texts free
Unlimited Blackberry

As you can see, I don't really care too much about minutes and texts. I want the handset free and I want unlimited Blackberry package for email and blackberry messenger. As I understand, this is separated from the Internet Package (surprise surprise, ripoff networks) which I don't really about either since the blackberry internet service will provide all the data usage i need.

I can't seem to find any network/deal that comes even close to offering what I'm getting with O2 right now, but with a new handset (9700)

Any ideas? Or has anyone spotted a good deal that would suit me?

Also is there a network to avoid? Orange? T-mobile etc?

LOL you wont get the 9700 for free on anything less than £35...its an expensive phone...sells for £350+ off line.

Tmobile are doing it for free on £25 pm over 24mths with the email booster but that doesnt include unlimited internet...you get 300 mins, 300 texts.

Go to £35 pm and you get 900 mins, 500 texts with unlimted email and internet and hte phone is free.

Thats tmobile though...dont know what O2, vodafone or Orange are offering but id imagine you will not get the phone for free unless your minimum spend per month is £35+ per month.

I've just had a cracking deal from phones4u

Free 9700 Blackberry
600 mins free, 3000 texts free, unlimited internet, unlimited blackberry internet service
£30 a month, 24 month contract

and they took my old blackberry off my hands for £30 in cash.

And that's with Orange, vodafone was only 300 mins free and 600 texts for the same price.

Bet you could get more than £30 for your old Blackberry on one of the many internet sites that get advertised on TV. They offered me £116 for my N95 8GB.. so any Blackberry should get more than £30!

Mobiles.co.uk - Orange - 24 x £24
900 mins Any Network Anytime + Unlimited Texts + Unlimited Data Usage

Phone cost £50 is the best i can see

Edit: Duh thought you were offered that not taken it!

to be fair my blackberry was 3 years old and battered to pieces, literally. I doubt anyone would've paid £30 for it, I was surprised phones4u offered to take it.
