Thinking of getting a blackberry...question about internet,emails,BBM etc

[nrk121]

Hi, I recently got the xperia x10 mini on 24 month contract with orange uk, but dont like the phone so I want a blackberry bold 9700, but the only reasonable option for me is to buy the 9700 SIM FREE.

Im just wondering, if i use my orange contract simcard on the sim free blackberry, will I have to pay anything extra for emails,internet,BBM etc?

(my current orange tarrif includes free internet and emails if this is of any help)

thanks!

Yes, you will.
You need Blackberry Internet Service to use internet and emails on a blackberry.

You will have to ring up Orange to get this (no they won't care about you having a different phone) and it will cost an extra £5 per month.
