3. If I decide to purchase the item, how do I get onto the Internet & send & receive e-mails using the phone, would I have to take out an additional ISP? I currently use Virgin Media for my Lap-Top. Thanks

   1. You just register your personal email address on the blackberry. You can add more than one ie work email

4. is the camera good and what is the internet speed like
   
   nadine asked on 06 Feb 2011
   1. The camera is alright, sometimes can be a bit grainy or dull but it still takes a good picture. Internet speed can have you waiting a bit to load a page but that could depend on where you live or other things

6. On which network is the BlackBerry BB service free and on which is it an additional service you have to pay extra for?
   
   Jeet asked on 09 Feb 2011
   1. Hi, well I am on O2 and my son is on Orange and we both get BBM free. I thought that was the idea of it, I thought it was free to send a message on all networks??

7. whats the best theme to use?
   
   harriet asked on 12 Feb 2011
   1. There are so many you can download, it's all about personal preference
      
      Becky replied on 15 Feb 2011

       
8. does it have internet acsess
   
   Billy asked on 12 Feb 2011
   1. It has wifi so you can connect to a local wifi spot but to go on the internet you need to have a blackberry data plan with your tarrif
      
      Becky replied on 12 Feb 2011

       
   2. I just top up £15 per month with O2 and they do the rest. Same as I did before I had a Blackberry. I think £5 of that goes to Blackberry, but I still have the same free texts/internet that I had before, I still only top up £15 per month.

9. does every blackberry curve 8520 have free BBM !
   
   megan asked on 16 Feb 2011
   1. You can download BBM onto the phone but you won't be able to use it unless you have a Blackberry data plan. Same goes for all other apps like Facebook, ect

12. Hi, im on t-mobile and i want to get a blackberry but im worried im going to pay out for it and realise after a few months that i could of got something better for my money what do you think? shall i just get a blackberry or get a different phone if you say a different phone what phone would you say? Also i have read all the questions&answer's above and im really confused what is a a data plan? do i have to pay out more money for a data plan or can i just use wifi?
    
    
    
    louise asked on 26 Feb 2011
    1. You need to find out if Tmobile do a blackberry data plan and if they do I would say stick with this phone. A data plan is what lets you use the features such as email, blackberry messenger, the applications, etc. I only know about the O2 one as thats what I'm on and its something extra you add on to your tariff for an extra charge.
       
       Becky replied on 27 Feb 2011

        
    2. would recommed blackberry cant live without it! data plan essential should check out Tesco mobile on pay as you go, £5 a month for data plan and you get triple credit ie top up £10 and you get £20 free credit.
       
       Lynne replied on 27 Feb 2011

    Yasmin asked on 06 Mar 2011
    1. I wanted this particular phone so I do think it's worth the money, it's got everything I need on it. You could pick a different model of Blackberry if you wanted
       
       Becky replied on 07 Mar 2011

        
15. I know they are very expensive but are they worth the money you pay for them?. I have my own sim is that ok to put that in there?. Is this one of the best phones you have ever had?. Do you have to pay for bbm on the phone?. Thanks x
    
    Ellie asked on 11 Mar 2011
    1. Personally I do think it's worth the money because I've got everything I need in one phone. If your sim is the same make as whatever network the phone is or if the phone is unlocked to any network it will be okay. Yes you do have to pay you need a blackberry bolt on to go with your tariff so you can get the extras, mine is only £5 a month with o2
       
       Becky replied on 16 Mar 2011

        
    2. Yep, I totally agree with Becky's comment above :)

20. If you're on Pay As You Go do you get free Facebook access and what is the best colour to get?
    
    Emily asked on 19 Mar 2011
    1. As long as you pay for the blackberry bolt on which is what lets you use facebook, bbm and other apps then you can use them. There is no 'best' colour as it's personal preferece, get whichever colour you prefer
       
       Becky replied on 23 Mar 2011

23. I am wondering if for definite it comes with £10 credit?
    
    Andrew asked on 21 Mar 2011
    1. I can't say for definite but I work in a shop and when I sell a phone at the checkout I have to ask if the customer wants a top up with their phone.
       
       Even so, there's nothing wrong with buying a voucher seperately
       
       Becky replied on 22 Mar 2011

        
    2. Mine didn't come with any credit. I got it from Tesco Direct.

27. is the internet free on this phone xx
    
    
    Megan asked on 09 Apr 2011
    1. The deal I have at present gives me free internet for 6 months on a payg. However it does pick up your own wifi if you put your password in, so as far as I can see sensible use near your wifi is fine, but as far as I am aware they will charge when you are out.

28. Is the internet free on this phone r do youu have to pay and is bbm free xxx

29. is internet free?????
    
    Megan asked on 09 Apr 2011
    1. Internet is free if you connect to a free wifi service, but to get the internet without wifi you need to pay every month for a blackberry bolt on to use the internet and other features
       
       Becky replied on 09 Apr 2011

        
    2. Think it depends on your allowance. I'm payg O2 and pay £15 per month, £5 of that goes to Blackberry, and I get free txts and internet

39. hey, i recently got a new sim and i always top up £10 to get my unlimited text and £5 goes to my internet wich is for 30 days and its unlimited. i want to get a balckberry soon But im Quite confused about the 'blackberry bolt' does this mean that when i get my phone i will not have to pay that extra £5 to get the unlimited internet for my bbm? Plase help thanks
    
    Margaret asked on 12 Apr 2011
    1. what you need for the bbm is different to the internet, even if you were paying for the internet you would not be able to use bbm without the bolt on. I think with the bolt on the internet is included but check with whoever you're with
       
       When you get a blackberry buy the bolt on with it, I'm on o2 and when I top up £10 a month I get 300 free texts and £5 goes to pay for my bolt on
       
       Becky replied on 12 Apr 2011

        
40. bbm on bb curve is it free to download then do u pay £5 to use it every month on pay as you go?

44. I am on contract with T-mobile. I understand I can pick up wi fi signal here, or elsewhere with pass code. Does it cost more to pick up internet elsewhere?
    I do not necessarily want facebook access.
    
    bobby asked on 18 Apr 2011
    1. As long as you have a set limit of how much internet is included in your contract (e.g. 250mb) it does not matter where you use it.
       
       Lauren replied on 18 Apr 2011

        
45. How do you find out your BBM pin?
    
    Kacey asked on 18 Apr 2011
    1. When you're on BBM, click on the top section where your name & availability are, this should go to another page & if you scroll down it'll say your pin. (:

46. is a blackberry curve good and dose the blackberry messanger help your phone bill go down a lot?
    
    shauna asked on 18 Apr 2011
    1. BBM does save you a lot of money on texts and calls but only if the persons/people you want to message also have it. Though I think there my be apps out there you can download where you can message to any messenger.
       
       Becky replied on 18 Apr 2011

        
    2. I have a payg and 6 months free internet at present so watch this space. As it picks up the wifi at home I hope it will be ok with careful use

48. Is the Blackberry Curve worth the money? because all my friends have got one. Is BBM for free? And do you have to pay for Facebook?
    
    Bob asked on 19 Apr 2011
    1. Bbm and facebook are apps that are free to download but you can't use them unless you have a blackberry bolt on with your tariff. I'm on o2 and pay £5 a month and I get all my emails to my phone, fb, apps, everything
       
       Becky replied on 19 Apr 2011

        
49. Hi, I noticed some people mentioned you can't do picture messaging on this phone? Is that right? Or that it costs more again. Do you have to pay for another data package for this?
    
    Also, just wondered how speedy it was to get on the net when out and about, as that is main reason for me thinking of buying. Thanks very much.
    
    Kay asked on 20 Apr 2011
    1. Well you can access the internet very quickly wherever you are and photo messaging is possible but its best to do it via blackberry messenger as the bluetooth isnt that good.
       
       Lauren replied on 20 Apr 2011

        
50. When you buy the phone itself does it come with headphones and adpater for the lapotop/computer usb lead and charger??
    
    Simran asked on 20 Apr 2011
    1. Yes it came with all of the above.

51. I now have a Blackberry Pearl which is getting quite old now, I've been begging my parents for months to get me a Blackberry Curve. They said yes if I do jobs and stuff, so I'm saving up basically. Is it really worth all this?
    
    Gabby asked on 20 Apr 2011
    1. I think you should buy your own phone and not your parents!
       You should do the jobs anyway, not for treats. there are much cheaper phones available anyway.
       
       Robert replied on 20 Apr 2011

        
    2. The answer to this is, are you more into texting or email? The reason I bought one is as I run a small business I use it to check and send email, as you know it has a small keyboard (more suitable for girl size hands) It is therefore a more professional phone bit still has all the features you need. I paid £150 for mine as payg on T mobile with free 6 months internet, it retails for £250 on Amazon, hope this helps it is a lovely phone
       
       Jenny replied on 20 Apr 2011

        
52. How do you get a data plan on this phone, so i can start using my BBM straight?
    
    Sophie asked on 20 Apr 2011
    1. you buy it from your network provider. I added mine using the o2 website
       
       Becky replied on 20 Apr 2011

        
53. Hi,
    
    Thanks for the answer on photo messaging. Can you not just send text picture messages, like with normal phones?
    
    Is Blackberry Messenger only able to be used with others who have Blackberrys? Thanks.
    
    Kay asked on 20 Apr 2011
    1. You can but to be honest its really slow and is sometimes not compatible with other phones. Blackberry messenger can only be used with other blackberrys but there are other applications that can link you with other phones.
       
       Lauren replied on 20 Apr 2011

    2. change settings on message page, from mms to sms, the tricky part is getting in touch with the provider e,g t-mobile or orange to update phone to recieve picture messaging, or send pic to yourself to activate it, take time to explore the phone in detail so much to see its surprising

58. When I got to an Orange Store and I ask to buy a blackberry curve 8520 will I be able to go home and use bbm straight away without wifi? Or will I have to ask the man/woman at the shop for blackberry bolt on? (this is for a pay as you go phone) Thanks
    
    Ali asked on 23 Apr 2011
    1. yes for pay as you go, ask to set it up, then off you go, have as much info as pos from store, for messenger its best to get high speed response thats set up ready, and always have clear signal for great fun

    1. Yes, it costs £5 a month to use all of it (facebook, bbm, twitter etc.) but if you are on contract it often comes included.
       
       Lauren replied on 24 Apr 2011

    tom asked on 26 Apr 2011
    1. I believe you need to pay an additional £5 per month if you are likely to use your email and internet options. Haven't seen my first bill as yet to need to clarify that when I get it.
       The Internet connection is quite good and quick - so it shouldn't be an issue.
       
       Hope this helps.

82. Is this a good phone for texting all the time and using facebook, twitter etc? And whats the bad things about it?
    
    B asked on 03 May 2011
    1. Oh it is great for facebook, I'm not a twitter user, but the app was already installed so it must be closely linked. The bad things about using it for facebook is probably the current app I use at the moment, doesn't allow you to like certain things. But other than that, great for facebook. I'm on it all the time, and get an alert for a new notification, so my poke backs are even quicker now.
       
       Bad things, in your messages inbox you cant delete the facebook notifications. So if someone is snooping on your phone they just need to go there and can see private mails easily. Battery life is pretty annoying too. The keypad too me awhile to get used to since I've never used a qwerty keyboard with a phone before but I am slowly getting there. Any other queries, feel free to ask.

     1. I'm really sorry I can't answer that as I'm on a monthly contract, and I believe the perks are very different to pay as you go. I suggest you talk to Orange as they are very helpful.

106. Is it a good phone to have ?????????'cuz im getting 1 for me bday but wasnt sure if it isss good or not!!?? xxxx
     
     laine asked on 16 May 2011
     1. It's fab, the only thing I was concerned about was the battery life, as I was finding it was needing charge every day, but I think this depends on things like WIFI and the internet, once I had turned the WIFI off, it doesn't need charging nearly as much as it was. Over all I do not regret my decision to opt for a Blackberry 10/10 Full marks!!

107. Can you download apps onto the 8250?
     
     James asked on 18 May 2011
     1. Yes.
        I'd suggest you download Blackberry App World (free) and this shows you hundreds of apps of all different catergories.

Heyy, im 14 and ive wanted a blackberry for along time now and people at school are getting them. but people have said that they are rubbish and the scroller freezes and it deletes your contacts and a regular basis :/ if i had a blckberry then it would be on pay as you go and im scared it might break but people who have told me this are people at school and i wanted a better opinion on them can you please help me :) thankss x
     
     Chloe asked on 18 May 2011
     1. I love my blackberry. I have never had any problem with the scroller. Mine is a payg and I got a good deal on T mobile with free internet access, but it does pick up your wifi at home. I run a small business so I bought mine for the email facility and the keyboard. I did buy a bag like cover for it with a screen cover on amazon. I have not had any troublere with my contacts either. Hope this helps.

     2. I have BlackBerry Curve 8520 on Pay as you go with Orange who had best price. This is second Blackberry and it is very good especially for texting and has good battery life. Not had any problems with scroller nor contacts nor messaging, I keep mine in soft cover with keyboard locked. I would recommend one of these as first Blackberry. Lacks some features of more expensive ones but great value!

     1. If you have a t mobile contract sim card , It depends on which tariff you are on and how much of your existing contract you have left. Go on to your service provider site and see other plans that have a Blackberry upgrade.

122. What are the disadvantages of the blackberry Curve
     
     ilyas asked on 22 May 2011
     1. I haven't found any major problems with it yet. One little niggle that I have is that if someone texts you that isn't currently in your phone book, there is no way to 'add contact' from the text message. You have to phone the number to enable you to add it as a contact or remember the number and add it manually. I would think the keys maybe a bit small if you have large fingers. I have heard that the battery life is short if you spend lots of time on the 'net - which I don't so it hasn't been a problem for me. Personally, I really like my phone ;-)
        
        Kate replied on 23 May 2011

         
     2. Nothing really major to report. The only 'fault' could be that the keys are a bit small if you have large hands like me, I need to be careful. Otherwise its great. the battery life on mine is far superior to my old nokia N8 I only need to charge it every other day. Overall a great bit of kit!
        
        Roger replied on 23 May 2011

         
     3. Also, I've found that texts, Facebook messages or notifications in general, can become duplicated in the 'Messages' folder, rendering the phone unable to send a message or delete the duplicates.

     1. Nope bbm just requires an internet connection, nothin more and its totally free of charge! I talk on there like all the time 24/7 and it don't cost me a dime! Just nake sure u coonect ur phone to a wireless router as it speeds up how fast ur bb msgs go through and ur internet! Instead of usin ur phone internet witch is really slow!

     Abi asked on 24 May 2011
     1. hi, I am only comparing to my old phone which I only had to charge once every 3 days but my blackberry has to be charged nearly every day but in saying that I do use my blackberry alot more than I do my old phone. as my old phone did not have email or apps. it is not a major problem with the blackberry and would recommend one to whoever was thinking of buying one. hope this helps.

     2. My battery only ever needs charged every other day, and thats with constant use! I won't say that the battery life was "bad" per say, but I wouldn't say it was "amazing" either... But when you weigh everything up about this phone-Thats it's only real "con", and I can def live with that!!! I'd be lost without my Blackberry now-I LOVE it!!! Best phone I've ever had!!!

     Fiona asked on 30 May 2011
     1. As far as I know you have to have a blackberry bolt on to get anything blackberry on any network, so while its free to download you still have to pay for the bolt on every month. I think this is on any network but you should check with Orange.
        
        My blackberry came with brick break and other simple games like that but if you go on the app world you can download hundreds of other games like solitaire, hangman and more.

I think the design perosnally for me is awesome! I love the fact u can customize it with the cases I have a playboy one for mine! U can have ur emails set up on ur phone! 2 me its got an amazing speaker on the top! Blackberry app world has loads of apps! Only down side is that most of the apps arnt free but some of them are! The querty keypad is awesome! My first phone wit one of those lol! And over all its just an amazin phone! I wouldn't b without mine! Anything else u wanna knw just ask away :) xx

     1. Almost identical to that of the iphone 4 sms style! Lists texts by coversation so its almost like using bbm! You can also make texts as big as you like without having to send multiple texts which is great.

146. When You Buy The Blackberry Do You Get Free BBM With It?
     
     
     
     
     
     Nathan asked on 07 Jun 2011
     1. No usually you have to pay per month about £5, some companies like tmobile give you a choice of extras - BBM is one of their extras. I would say that if your mates are on bbm you need less texts in your package so it kind of pays for itself cos your monthly contract is less. I pay for 4 blackberrys the cheapest contract includes bbm for 15 per month - t mobile

     1. It doesn't cost anything to send messages from BBM (it's only available on blackberry anyway so it doesn't make it any cheaper!) but it costs to get BBM in the first place

     2. I have a payg and the deal with T mobile was free internet for 6 months so I can't answer that. It does use your home wifi though, so using it at home will be fine. It does pick up emails when I am out, plus facebook ebay etc. It is a very nice phone

151. On my current phone I have orange dolphin and when i top up £10 then I get 300 free texts and free internet for a month.
     
     Can I join orange dolphin if I were to get this phone?
     
     Would the free internet (from orange dolphin) let me use blackberry messenger for free?
     
     MACKA asked on 08 Jun 2011
     1. if you buy your phone from orange you will be able to get orange dolphin on the phone unless the phone is open to all networks.
        
        I would think that your free internet would include blackberry messenger but i suggest if you have any doubts ask at the phone shop when you buy your phone...hope this has helped.

     2. I totally understand where you are coming from, because I was on orange, and had that same tariff! When I got my Blackberry I got it from T-Mobile, and also signed up with them for a contract (meaning that my Blackberry was 100% free. You HAVE to pay for your Blackberry if you want to stay on “Pay as you go”, and they can be pretty pricey).
        
        I compared all the costs & benefits involved, and having a contract works out WAY cheaper!!! The call costs are a lot lower, and I have so many benefits that make it 100% more worthwhile.
        
        You already know what you get free every month on Dolphin, and how much that costs you-But you’ll need to add on the price of your new phone-Which will be pretty expensive…
        On my T-Mobile contract I get-
        *100 free any network minutes
        *Unlimited, any network texts
        *Unlimited internet usage
        *Unlimited Blackberry messenger
        *Free email
        *Free Blackberry
        All of that costs me £20 a month, which is very good value for money!!!
        
        If £20 is too much for you, you can go on the £15 a month tariff, and with that you will get-
        *Free Blackberry
        *100 any network minutes
        *100 any network texts
        *Free email & Blackberry Messenger
        
        I hope that might have helped you out a little?? If not, please get back to me & I’ll try my best to answer anymore questions that you may have ;)

     1. HI Jac,
        Mine is black so wouldnt know the colour. All you need is the other persons BBM pin or you can give your pin to them (which you set up easily when u start the phone) and its as simple as that!

     1. Im on t-mobile, but i believe that to use BBM it is £5 per month extra to buy a "booster" that allows internet access and BBM use.

     2. yeah they are fine for memory there is a way to check how much memory space you have left if you do not have a memory card in the phone, for instance if you download loads of songs just go into media folder then press the bitton next to the green phone scroll down to memory use and it will show you what you have used and what is left. hope this helps

Im currently on o2 and i have £10 credit. if i got a blackberry at currys would i have to buy a new sim and everything. Can I just buy the phone itself or do I have to get a sim aswell? thanks. also is it easy to use? is the blackberry messenger free or do u have to pay for it? lol like i said im confused. one last thing: is the app store bookmarked like it is on the iphone/ipod touch/ipad? thank you.
     
     Emily asked on 14 Jun 2011
     1. Hi Emily,
        Firstly, if the phone is sim free, then i guess you choose which provider you go with. I'm with orange, they have good pay as you go packages, free internet etc. The Blackberry is incredibly easy to use, and yes BB messenger is free, but you would pay £5.00p for BB internet service, which then gives you access to messenger. App store is bookmarked, but i'm not incredibly impressed with the apps, it's a different operating system, not quite as good as iphone, but i'm not interested in apps. Blackberry is a very nice phone for facebook and tweeting and internet browsing, texting and music, it synchs with your i player.
        Hope this helps,
        Peter

        My advice to you is to get it on contract-That way you won’t have to pay ANYTHING for it! I got my Blackberry free along with my contract from T-Mobile-If you do it that way you won’t have to pay for the Blackberry at all ;)

Things like bbm will not cost u anything if u connect ur bb to a wireless internet as that's something I always do because I use bbm quiet a bit! Hope this is hpful to you!

There are so many good deals right now, T'mobile and 3 have great deals. Good luck and I am sure your mum will realise this is the best option x

     1. You have to ask your service provider to activate it. It will cost you £5.00.
        You can use the wi fi feature as well which is free, you can link it to a hub or anywhere there is free wi fi you will be able to connect to it. You may want to activate you Blackberry messenger service as well.

     brooke asked on 05 Jul 2011
     1. I'm sorry I don't know the answer to that. I'm with T-Mobile and I get the internet free with my package but I'm on a contract. I don't use BBM but my son does and he pays an extra £5.00 a month to use BBM but then he's a pay as you go customer so I'm guessing it depends on what package Orange offer and what type of customer you are.

     and i hurd that blackberrys have alot of faults is that true?
     
     kierah asked on 07 Jul 2011
     1. BBM is usually included as a compulsory add on with most providers making it included in the contract, on PAYG you usually have to pay around £5 a month for BB services (BBM, email etc). Blackberry's have no more duds and faults than anybody else, ive not had a problem with either of the two ive had over three years. Most iPhone owners will discredit Blackberries it seems.

     sam asked on 07 Jul 2011
     1. Best deal is on Virgin pay monthly at £10.21 a month. If You buy on orange or O2 PAYG then you pay for blackberry services at £5 a month - it is taken from your call balance very 30 days. The only company I know that used to give 6 months free internet was T-Mobile - don't know if they still do
        
        David replied on 08 Jul 2011

         
     2. Sorry Sam I don't know the answer to that question. My Blackberry came free with my 24month contract with Orange. It costs £20 to £25 a month with unlimited texts, 600 minutes talk time and unlimited internet browsing. To be perfectly honest with you it's not a great deal as I can't access e mails and the battery life on this phone is poor. Good luck!

     1. Hi I use my Blackberry curve all day every day, I use it for work and personal use. The BM is very good as you can use it all the time at no extra cost as long as your friends and/or family have a Blackberry. The camera is very good and take clear pictures and can be uploaded straight away to any social network site. I would advice to get a good cover for it to protect it. The apps are also very good, I have even uploaded a few books to read, even though the screen is a bit small.

     1. Yes it is a good offer for Tmobile and for your first blackberry this is a good choice and now with them sharing network with orange network coverage is a lot faster and better! Have fun with your blackberry you will never go back to an ordinary phone.

     Also when you buy the blackberry would you get bored or tired of it within the next week or 2 ?
     Thank you
     
     Sophia asked on 04 Aug 2011
     1. All the plans we have are contract so not sure about first bit, but bbm is usually extra.
        We've had 4 of these phones in the family for over a year now and we're not bored yet - key thing is are your mates on blackberry?
        
        louise replied on 06 Aug 2011

         
     2. It is extra but mobile phone companies will usually just include your bbm charge with the cost of the contract, not affecting the price... I got 300 mins, unlimited texts for 20 quid, and they through in unlimited internet and bbm for pretty much no charge... search around and inquire!!

     Heledd asked on 10 Aug 2011
     1. It is!! I know from my own daughter (who is almost 8) how quickly they pick things up, so a 13 year old will def have no issues with it at all ;) Im 29 & it took me a bit to get used to, but I'd never go back to iPhone now-My Blackberry is amazing, and literally does everything!!! The only down side is the battery-It does need charged every night, but im sure that they will address that problem with future models :)
        
        I hope that's helped, even a little??
        Many thanks & take care,

     2. Hi Heledd, I'd say not as the functions are quite technical although with adult guidance it may be ok. There are different phones with similar features that may be a better starting point. Touchscreen for example. The main feature for me with a blackberry is receiving e mails. Otherwise they are quite a weighty phone. My 16yr old son says he wouldn't have got his head round it or even needed facebook or twitter when he was 13. Hope that helps ps my son says to look at the samsung models.

     1. hi,
        No you have to add blackberry services to your contract i was told in Vodafone thats an extra £5 per month.
        I havent got it as i thought as I already have unlimited texts it wont matter but you cant downloads 'apps' such as facebook without these services. You can still use the wifi to log onto facebook but takes longer!
        Hope this helps

     chloe asked on 12 Aug 2011
     1. Blackberry messenger and Internet costs the companies £5 a month, so it would be unlikely unless the amount of minutes and texts is very small. The only company I know for sure that does a deal with everything at that sort of price is Virgin Media.
        Don't know if you are aware that most companies (Orange, O2, Vodaphone & T-mobile) offer full blackberry services for £5 a month on Pay as you Go. I have always found O2 the most helpful provider to deal with but their coverage is not as good as Orange or Vodaphone.

        If you go Pay as you go then going on the Dolphin tariff will get you internet. But BBM will be a bolt on extra doing it this way.

     1. My Blackberry was free with a contract for £20 per month for 2 years. I use it for business and it is well worth the cost to be able to access email and the internet quickly. I also prefer the qwerty key board to a touch screen its less frustrating!!

If u have a bbm on pay as u go u have to buy a bolt on that costs about. £5 every month to use bbm, facebook etc.. As for internet depends on wot package u buy if u buyin it on contract! I have 250mg of net! 100 mins unlimited txts! I connect my phone to my wireless broadband internet all the time that way wen I use bbm and the internet it doesn't cost me an extra charge on top of my phone bull every month!

     Carl asked on 31 Aug 2011
     1. HI bb is a free service and is easy to use as its on your blackberry app and you either give someone your pin or scan your bar code if someone sends u a request you just accept or decline you can also send broadcasts like a joint message to all hope this helps
        
        julie replied on 31 Aug 2011

         
     2. Sorry but bbm is free, but the actually blackberry service is not! Depending on what phone company you're with, and how you've been with them, they will usually add an additional 5 quid a month to your contract, however some companies integrate the cost of blackberry enterprise into your monthly plan so you won't even notice a difference in price. Best way to find out, call the companies and ask what deal will suit you best!!

     ivor asked on 02 Sep 2011
     1. It's all according if you are going to use it for work and pleasure, and how much use you'll get out of it anyway.
        
        The features are relatively straightforward and, even though the manual is not brilliant at explaining things, because it is so user friendly you can get the measure of it quite quickly.
        
        The email facility on the 8520 is not brilliant, but it does connect to the internet and it is possible to access your email via that facility.
        
        It is particularly useful if you have other friends or colleagues who have a Blackberry, because with the Blackberry Messenger facility you can text for nothing (as long as it's Blackberry to Blackberry)
        
        I've found mine fit for purpose.
        
        Nick replied on 04 Sep 2011

     1. Sorry but I did not keep mine long enough to find out. I found the keys were too small for me to use without glasses!! My grandaughter has the Blackberry curve and I think she finds the battery will last the day, it all depends how much you use it like anything. It seems all the new type phones struggle with the batteries. Im going to buy a Samsung Galaxy 11, I think the battery is supposed to be good.

     1. Depends what network it is - if it's T-mobile there should have been a leaflet in the box with a code to text. Other than that best thing is to visit the local shop of the network. Most PAYG networks now do deals where you pay £5 a month for BB services.

     Ciaran asked on 27 Sep 2011
     1. I would say dependant on the price. The one I bought was £130 and I paid with tesco clubcard vouchers which were doubled up (so really only paid £65). I bought it for my 12 year old daughter who loves it and is continually on it playing games when she isn't texting. My 17 year old Son also has this phone as well as my nephew and they are both very happy with it.

     2. yes definately !! this phone is fantastic I cant say enough about how good it is, in fact it recieves my e mails about five minutes before they arrive on my computer ! its simple to use and with the keyboard lay out of the keys it makes texting so much easier, you must buy this phone !!

327. Hello, I was thinking about buying this phone, my first question is : does this phone freeze alot and is it good for its value? because i can get a better phone for the same price or less also, there is one on t-mobile with 6 months free Blackberry messenger do you know which is the best tariff to go with also this is on pay as you go :) Thanks
     
     James asked on 27 Sep 2011
     1. Well I'm happy with it tbh, but I'm sure it does more stuff than I do with it! I do like the qwerty, didn't think I would. I do think the bb apps take ages to download tho. Plus side, I spilled tea on it the other week, it was a bit funny for a few days but its fine again. Yep it does freeze sometimes, but only for seconds. On the whole I like it. A lot. Coverage is good, I would maybe try 3 mobile if you use the web a lot, really quick and they tend to have all you can eat data. Hope this was helpful. S

Of course if you don't want to invest in iphone :) This which I bought haven't got nice camera but all the rest is great!

     jodie asked on 02 Oct 2011
     1. right ok lol quite a few questions, if its on contract theres all different type of plans, so it all depends on what plan best suits yourself, have a look online then you can work out which ones the best.
        on the plans the internet comes free thats included, and bbm is free too, word of warning though dont use your texing to send photos you will be charged, send photos through bbm its free. wifi should automatically come on the phone as it needs it for the internet, go into Manage Connections and tick WI-FI on. to receive bbm go to Blackberry App World (on your phone) and download. Hope this has cleared a few things up for you. Good luck..

     1. Some do, but its a free download if it isn't already loaded. It's very easy to manage through a PC as you need to connect frequently to get updated apps etc... and they supply the software to load to your PC when you buy the phone.

     Kaitlen asked on 30 Oct 2011
     1. Contact o2 and ask about adding blackberry services to your contract. Blackberry bolt is usually and extra 5 quid a month, so you will have all your blackberry services (bbm, email ect.) Plus your unlimited texts and another additions from your existing contract (minutes and whatever) you will probably also require an internet allowance to use your blackberry. Ring o2 and enquire about it. I am with orange and they integrsated the bb costs into my existing contract so I don't even notice the extra cost. They may offert you a new contract with a free phone which I would reccommend as this contract will be set up to maximise your bb experience. Hope this helps

     Millie asked on 03 Nov 2011
     1. It is a great phone but if you want to Browse the Internet it not so good as it is not a 3G Phone which means it is not very fast loading data.
        If as you say you are a Teen then try to go for the 9300 as it has 3G and i assume Browsing the Net is what all Teens want to do.

371. if i get this phone and i get it unlocked do i have to pay for bbm?
     
     jacqui asked on 04 Nov 2011
     1. getting the phone unloced is something your network provider charges for. It's nothing to do with the phone!
        
        Joanne replied on 06 Nov 2011

         
     2. if its pay as you go then yes the network provider will charge for bbm but if its a contract then its included in the monthly charge.

     1. The deal I had with T mobile was the first six months were free and after that with a payg it costs me £20 for 6 months. It will also pick up your own wifi.

     2. For me, the blackberry has not been the best online experience, nor has the wifi been particularly successful. To date I have been able to access the internet very briefly on one occasion on a bus travelling through the West Country. I have been unable to access the wifi facility or the GPRS in China or Kenya and that is within the last six months.

     sheffra asked on 19 Nov 2011
     1. Blackberry services are an add on which normally costs £5 a month on pay as you go.
        BBM is linked to the pin number of the phone not the SIM, but is registered with the service provider. If you are thinking of just taking out the sim and putting in one from another provider it won't work. The phone will be locked to Tesco and Tesco phones are some of the hardest to unlock.

     1. Hi Matilda, the phone is fast charging, has headphones, charger, battery and SIM card, but mine is on monthly contract so you may not get a SIM card with it if yours isn't. Has all forms of messaging including e-mail, Facebook and Twitter. Very small keyboard though and I find it difficult to use and read - I won't be getting another one but will opt for iPhone instead. Hope this helps. Derek

     2. Yes it does have headphones ,charger,battery and sim card with it and you can get messenger , e-mails, twitter & facebook but you have to set them up, orange is very happy to help you set it up it also has a disc for you to download on your computer so you can update your blackberry the battery is fast charging but doesn't last very long also if your with orange you get charged £5 extra to unlimited broadband it all depends on what plan you have I love the blackberry phone easy to use but the only fault is that the battery is short life mine lasts me about a 2 days at the most . Hope this is helpful to you Linda.

     1. It all depends on what you're looking for in a phone. If the basics of a smarphone is all you're after, ie calling texting, blackberry messenger and internet then this phone is more than handy for that! However, if you're after something a bit more advanced then I suggest the 9360

I'd go for a Samsung Galaxy next time. Hope that helps.

     1. The BlackBerry 8520 is a very good entry-level smart phone. It is my first smart phone, and I am constantly using it for email, facebook, and even some games. To be honest I chose it because it came free on a t-mobile 12-month plan. That being said, I do not regret it. I am still learning how to use all the bells and whistles on it.

     Donette asked on 29 Dec 2011
     1. BBM wasn't pre-installed on my device, we phoned customer services who got it all going. I believe that BBM costs something like £5 per month for PAYG and can be included in some contracts. I don't use it and it's not included in mine, however, my son who has same phone and is PAYG pays the £5 each month.

     is it worth the money
     
     lottie asked on 30 Dec 2011
     1. The 8520 is now one of the older smart phones - it is very slow to load when you first put the battery in, but it wakes up quickly when powered of without battery removal. To get full advantages you need the blackberry bolt on - this is £5 a month on PAYG, taken from you call credit - on pay monthly it will be built into your plan. You do not have to download anything else - the blackberry OS has a browser built in - it is not that quick because this phone is not 3G so you have to use Blackberrys edge technology (although on orange you can use a local wireless hotspot using a feature they call UMA). I would recommend you go for the 9300 instead as it has a much new operating system and is 3G so is better at browsing the internet. They are currently about £150 on PAYG - hope this helps
        
        David replied on 02 Jan 2012

         
     2. I had to change my internet package from Orange to Blackberry and, as David says, it's £5/month. I don't really have any problems with it and I guess it could depend on your internet download speeds. Like I said, I don't have any problems with it. It does everything I want to do and came as part of my package.
        
        June replied on 05 Jan 2012

         
     3. I am not at all happy with it. I can't browse the internet, I can't access my e mails and I can't use facebook without paying extra. As my contract is £25 a month I really don't see why I should. The battery life is woefully short. I am hoping to change my phone asap.

     1. I'm not sure about data plans, I am on an orange contract and I think its 25 pounds a month. I don't think the battery life is too bad, it is a smart phone after all. If you are on the internet and things like that a lot it will be drained, but I just charge mine at night. Compared to iphone users I know people who have to charge throughout the day as well.

     1. I can't really say about the choice between orange and t-mobile, not really a Blackberry question and I'm on O2 and have no idea if there's a plan on the other networks.
        
        Battery life could be better I guess but I think it depends on the apps you have and such like whatever you have running in the background that can drain it. Personally I only have to plug mine in about once a week maybe.

I'm confused, i don't want to buy this phone if all that is true :/

     Jane asked on 04 Jan 2012
     1. I don't know about that as I got this phone on contract I do know that some other phone companies ask you to pay£5.00 per month for the bbm but I dont know about orange

     2. In my opinion yes the 9300 is better but for a first blackberry phone you cant go wrong with the 8520, it is a mini computer on a budget, ok its not touch screen and does not have android but for emails, texts and facebook etc what more would you want for under £130.00

474. My son has just got the 8520 curve. He is on Orange. He did the subscribe (email to 247) and we have tried to download BBM but when he tries to send a BBM it states 'pending authentification'. Does he have to wait for a code or something to come through before he can use BBM now that he has paid the £5.00 as directed by orange?
     
     j asked on 08 Jan 2012
     1. Hi
        Sorry I can't answer this as it appears to be a subscriber issue. I dont use BBM and mainly use my blackberry for e-mail

484. Hi, if i didn't get the blackberry bolt for £5 a month, could I still use BBM, Facebook, etc using a Wi-Fi connection? Also, as I'm on pay as you go and usually top up with £10, would it mean that I had to top up with £15 for the bolt or could i continue topping up with £10 and £5 be deducted for the bolt. Hope this makes sense :) Thanks.
     
     Kay asked on 15 Jan 2012
     1. Hi, No I don't think you would be able to use anything unless you got the Blackberry bolt on. I couldn't get my fone to work properly until I got it. Also your top up would be £15 a month (£10 as per usual aplus £5 for the BB)

     1. You need the bolt on to use BBM - but you can use wi fi for FB. Im not sure how your top up works - mine is 10 plus 5 bolt on but they deduct the whole 15!!! sorry, its as clear as mud. ck with your service provider.

     2. Hi Courtney - Yes I would highly recommend it. It's much more than meets the eye and really comes in handy.
        
        I've not used doc-to-go or sheet-to-go but have viewed a few things in them. It's OK on that side but a laptop is much preferred.
        
        The battery life is good but as I've recently been using the media player more, it seems to need more charging then other phones, though that in mind it's only once every few days which isn't too bad.
        
        Hope this helps.

     2. Hi
        The blackberry 8520 keyboard is very small and to type u end up using 2 thumbs
        BBM would be part of a blackberry plan however if you dOnt have blackberry price plan the extra (BIS blackberry Internet service) will cost you and extra £5 plus your plan also available on pay as you go
        Also choose T-Mobile or Orange as the use the same network now as there Everything Everywhere
        You could try a demo handset instore and I can't agree more I find the I Phone is a better handset and easier to type on too
        Good luck

     1. Hm, interesting question! 85/100 ..it depends however. Sometimes I connect in no time! I would say that the Blackberry is actually very fast, but it depends on the connection and the interference. However I am very pleased with it, great phone with amazing options that I slowly discover as time goes by apart from the camera which is rather disappointing! Hope this helps you.
        
        Gabriella replied on 31 Jan 2012

         
     2. at time 95/100 but at peak times it can go down to about 70. i get a great signal at home but when out it can be different. check with the network to see the signal strength before purchase. other than this it is a great phone which uploads pics online quickly and easily.
        
        Mary replied on 31 Jan 2012

         
     3. I don't find it slow when we are home the signal is great which is why i changed phone and network as we live in the middle of nowhere. If we are out and about i do find it takes a little longer to load so i'd give it 50/50 depending on location, but i do have to agree with Gabriella about the camera it really lets the phone down but this is the only flaw i have with the phone.

     Arzoo asked on 25 Feb 2012
     1. i bought this for my daughter, who does get through phones quickly, she has had it 4 months now and touch wood it is all working perfectly, although she is aware it has to last her 2 years due to her contract, so she is looking after it, she also has put her own case on the back which offers some protection, but yes i think it as robust as you can get.

     1. Hi Lauren. Thanks 4 your questions. Personally I'd say I'm quite happy with my Blackberry Curve. Sometimes it won't show full image Zooming 2 100%.But it does zoom in. I usually charge every 2 days. Hope I've been of some help? If not, ur welcome 2. Ask more questions if you need 2!! It might help you 2 go 2a phone shop+ask 4a demonstration.

     Lauren asked on 12 Mar 2012
     1. in a nutshell yes its is good. but as you have highlighted, the images are not full size, but you do have the option to zoom in now. the screen size does limit, you availability to see web pages but with the zoom, it does help, although not perfect...the lifespan of the battery is alot better then the older models, but when im using wifi, the battery does seem to deplete faster then i would of thought. but in no way will you be recharging your phone every 2 days. to sum up. if i was using my phone for internet browsing a lot, i would go for an android phone with 5" touch screen, but if it was more for sending/recieving emails, txting and phone calls with a samll amount of internet browsing then i would go the blackberry.

     1. I like it. I don't browse that much on it, when I do I find it a bit slow but thats maybe the area I live in. You can zoom in and it is very easy to use. The battery life is not great, for two hours a day you will probably need to charge it up every 2 to 3 days give or take. I would recommend it cause it suits me great. Hope this helps.

     2. I got it free with my Tesco contract for £15 a month and I get 750 minutes, 5000 texts and 500mb of data per month. I keep the phone charging in my lorry, so I'm not certain how long it would last without a charge. If you have slim fingers, the keys should be a breeze. It loads up quite quickly for the internet and you can pretty much browse all day everyday for no extra charge. Yes, it does zoom in.

     3. Rhyannon, I am by no way a phone expert but I am starting to experience problems with my Blackberry - strange messages about connections coming up and the sound isn't too good. The camera is not great and the internet connection is slow and a very small screen. My son's Blackberry keeps running out at 45% so I would avoid Blackberrys from now on.
        Never heard of a Rio but my kids are saying iphones are the best.

     1. Hi there, are you just buying the blackberry handset? Or getting it through a contract? If you get it through a contract the phone is usually free with a contract lasting however long you agree to have it ( for exmaple 12 or 18 months etc) But just buying the handset with no contract you will have to pay the price will vary with each model of the blackberry, hope this helps.

565. is this Phone worth getting on contract?Or does it break easily? my friends have the 8520 and they love it but then some of the others have the bold9790 because the 8520 seemingly freezes loads...does anyone know what phone would be the best to get for socializing (bbm,Texting,Facebook) :) Thanks
     
     Zoe asked on 10 Apr 2012
     1. The phone freezes sometimes but is easy to use the biggest problem I had was that I got it on tesco contract and I have problems with them update the phone monthly so I can get internet one time it took about 10 days with no internet I have now got an I phone 4 with tescos no problems brilliant phone much better than the blackberry

     2. I got my 8520 on contract and its fine. It did freeze once but I just removed the battery then put it back in. I use mine for BBM, Facebook and Twitter and I'm more than happy with it.

     lucy asked on 15 Apr 2012
     1. You have to pay a monthly charge of £5 then after that it's free to send messages until it runs out which you will then need to top up and pay the £5 charge again

     2. I think its amazing value for money. I pay £15 a month on my Tesco Tarriff. I find it easy to use, quite quick, and it has everything i need on it. Its very durable too, as its had a bit of a battering from my two young boys! Its quick to charge up and has quite a long battery life.

     Daisy asked on 18 Apr 2012
     1. Hi,
        
        I had loads of problems with the service provider initially as I kept loosing Blackberry services and they just couldn't seem to get them to stay on for more than a month at a time. The bundle is good because I do not use many texts or minutes and I only use the data bundle to check news and football scores, which is good because the internet access is rubbish. I would not renew this package. It is good for e-mail and thats it
        
        Sean replied on 18 Apr 2012

         
     2. I think this is a great deal - I use the capped contract for my kids. One uses BBM all the time, the other uses it quite alot and also checks football scores constantly! Having just returned from holiday I even found that they got 10mb a day blackberry access for free which was great. They don't use the minutes much but use the texts and find that they are more than enough. I thought it was the best value around although it was the capped contract feature that really swung it for me. The service has been pretty contant and I can't say I have any complaints.

582. what is the difference between blackberry email and blackberry messanger?
     
     isabelle asked on 23 Apr 2012
     1. Hi...the difference between blackberry internet service (the £5 a month bit) and the unlimited internet add on is that the unlimited internet is paying for the actual data that you use...there the blackberry internet service is paying for use of the blackberry specific services...and unfortunately you do have to have both in place to use the blackberry properly!
        
        Without the BIS you will not be able to access email, messenger or the internet browser and without an unlimited web add on you can access them but the amout of data used would cost you a fortune!
        
        It's well worth paying for though, blackberry email delivers all your email the instant you receive them, blackberry messenger offer always on access to instant messaging with all your friend who have blackberry's (you can also instantly transfer files and photos etc) and you also get access to the app world and use of apps like facebook and twitter which are really fast and again all notificationd are pushed straight to the handset so you never miss a beat!

     Pia asked on 29 Apr 2012
     1. Personally I don't use a fraction of the 750 mins I get for the £15 a month and I do use the internet a lot so if purchasing again I would look for a 3g blackberry for the same price but with less inclusive minutes. In addition to much faster internet the 9300 3g comes with apps installed for facebook, twitter and blackberry world but the 8520 did come with a cd rom which I think may have included some apps. The 9300 is slightly better designed and they've ironed out some small quirks that exist on the 8520. It can stream live music off the internet and allows you to open different tabs on internet explorer. However if you want lots of minutes, instant access to your emails and a good camera and video then the 8520 is a great phone.

     1. You go to blackberry app world and download it from there. if you already have your bbm and just want to get it running top up your phone 5 pound a month to pay for your bbm. then phone up tmobile to confirm and register if not already done and your bbm should be up and running in upto 48 hours.

     F0r the £10 a month deal, where your on a 24 month contract, where you get 5000 free texts and 100 minutes and 500MB of data, do you get free BBM and email, and do you have to download apps like facebook on there or are they already on there, and back to the BBM and Email, down where it gives you all the different contracts you can get it says unlimited BBM and email, but didnt know whether this was included and free or whether you have to pay.
     Thanks :)
     
     Olivia asked on 21 May 2012
     1. the £10 a month deal unfortunetly is now £15 a month but includes bbm with that. It is a month to month contract with Tesco so you are not tiede in for a long period. depends on your phone which aps you have.
