Vodafone bolt on?

Freelanc3r · 10 Mar 2011 at 22:05

Hey guys, quick question.

I currently have a VF contract, 300mins, ULTD texts, no internet, £15 a month. My contract ends in october.

Could I get a 'bolt-on' for unlimited internet from vodafone(obviously at a cost)? I have a blackberry curve and would really like to use BBM etc. Only reason I'm asking is because I'm not using the original handset that I got with the contract, as I bought a PAYG phone and put my contract SIM into it. (bb curve 8520)

How much would it be, and has anyone done this before?

Any help appreciated!

£5 a month for 500mb isn't it?

You need the BIS (blackberry internet service) added to your account. This is because internet on blackberries isn't like internet on other phones - it has to be a special service provided by RIM (who make them) rather than normal telcos so it can contain other things like BBM. It should come with some data if voda arn't extremely tight fisted.

Vodafone quoted me an extra £10 for BB Services. I had a £15 a month contract on an old Nokia (with 9 months to go) that I wanted to put the sim into an 8520.
