Orange adds PAYG BlackBerry
The choice for cheapskates?
Mobile email fans bereft of cash can now get their BlackBerry kicks without a monthly service contract, thanks to Orange.
The service provider has announced plans to launch the BlackBerry Pearl 8120 on Pay-As-You-Go.
Although the phone will initially cost you £145 ($206/€161), you’ll then have control over how much surfing, calling, emailing and texting costs you because you won’t be tied to a monthly commitment.
Orange’s decision is said to have followed “growing demand for a BlackBerry smartphone with PAYG service”. Unfortunately, RIM’s latest BlackBerry – the Storm – won’t be available, but there’s always a chance it’ll be added to the list later. Much like O2 did with the iPhone 3G.
The BlackBerry 8120 will be available on Orange PAYG from early next month. ®

£5 per month
It actually costs £5 per month for all your emails and internet. however, on the first day of launch, it didn't actually work.
PAYG?
Who wants PAYG Blackberry - halfway through looking at an email it says you don't have any more credit... Is this someone just pushing devices?
