My contract is up and i'd like to get a blackberry and switch back to pay & go. I know o2 do or used to do unlimited data for £10 per month on top of a pay monthly voice tariff, thing is do any of the networks do unlimited data for around the same price as a bolt on on pay & go at all?
I don't mind changing networks but i want to stay with pay & go as the free minutes are not worth it as i never use them. Orange seem to have good tariffs, just wondered what else is out there from people with experience, thanks.

T-mobile do a 'use as much as you want for £1 / day' which if you use it every day will be a lot more than £1/ month.
Shop around, I suppose.

Hmmm that would work out expensive, i only need txt and data really, never really ring people, orange have good pay & go deals. I suppose it all depends on what happens to o2 tariffs regarding the iPhone, surely they'll have to change their tariffs to suit it, decisions decisions.

t-mobile still have the sim only deal for £7.50/month. Its not pay as you go, its a rolling one month contract (so no real commitment), but you can then add the web'n'walk for another £7.50/month which gives you almost unlimited (UAP of 1gb/month) of data
I'm using 2 of these now for my main 2 devices

Righty ho,
I have the same set up as Masseur, only with BB added on and it costs me £25/month!
and as M said it gives you unlimited data, which is great I think you get 50mb with the Blackberry plan but if you exceed that it will just use your unlimited data! and you get 50mins x-network/month.
No text messages included but you can add bundles to your account, it is all very easily explained on the website and the staff are great when you talk to them as they know what they are on about 95% of the time!

Right ok t-mobile seem pretty good, i'd like to spend around £20-£30 a month and have unlimited data and alot of txts, really. I'm planning on getting a blackberry soon and then an iphone sim free which is why i'm looking for a sim only deal. Mass when you say £7.50 rolling commitement and then unlimited data for another £7.50 what do you get for the first £7.50? I must be looking at the wrong page on t-mobile, goddam pc is so slow.

I think you just get 50mins x-network for your first £7.50!

here is a direct link to the page
you get 50 minutes "Local, national and calls to any UK mobile network at any time"
no texts included. You can upgrade this to any flext plan if you want to and get some texts

£3.50/month gets you 50 texts @ 7p/text
£6.00/month gets you 100 texts @ 6p/text
£10.00/month gets you 200 texts @ 5p/text

Hmm right i see thanks for that. I only really want a data plan and then be able to top up and use the credit for txt and calls if that makes sense. So if i could get a data tariff for like £10 and then just top up that would be great.

Thing is, if your gonna use your BB as a BB you will need a rolling contract as unless I am completely wrong you can't have a BB acount on a PAYG!

Oh how lame, ok i see why i'm confused now, guess i'll get the blackberry and go into t-mobile and speak to them, thanks guys.

I think you can only get the "sim only" on line

*sigh* wonder in which century the networks here will start offering unlimited data at an affordable rate.

My brain is pickled, i only want a sim so i can get the phone separate, wish you could just buy a sim with unlimited data and top up it ain't much to ask lol. Best just to go in and speak to someone i suppose.
