question about sim only and blackberry

I emailed this to orange a week ago with no response, was wondering if any of you peeps could help

I've ordered a sim only contract 30 day which I have, on the iphone plan, however i'm selling my iphone and using a nokia n95, can I still use the internet as normal on the n95, it's unlocked and sim free

also I want to get a blackberry, brand new, either sim free and unlocked, or on orange payg from the orange shop and put my contract sim only plan in the blackberry

can I use internet straightaway on the blackberry, or do I need a blackberry add on, and can this be done on a sim only plan


I'm guessing i'll need to move from iphone sim only, to dophin sim only

I understand that the dolphin sim only comes with 500 mb internet, but that I can add on another 500mb for £5 as this is available to to customers who already get 500mb in their plan

would this work on blackberry also

thanks in advance guys

Let me get this straight.

You want to use the sim card in two phones?

What's wrong with just one phone?

I'm confused lol.

I signed up for sim only iphone with orange

I've now sold my iphone, and i'm temporarily using the sim in an n95 until I go out this weekend and either buy a new blackberry bold 9700 from carphone warehouse on payg and use my contract sim

or get the 9700 bold on orange payg from the orange shop and use my contract sim in

so I'll only have one phone, the blackberry, so i can i use the internet straightaway on my sim only plan, or do i need the blackberry add on

it gets worse

I've spoken to Orange, they've said I can change to sim only Dolphin, 500mb included, but I can't use this on a blackberry

I need the Blackberry add on, they said it's £5 a month and I get 10 to 15mb allowance

Surely this can't be right? I thought it was 500mb

10 to 15mb allowance is only going to last a few days browsing

Just a further question if I may

Does the Blackberry BIS bundle that is added to the Pay Monthly Sim Only plan sit on top of the 500mb internet

so I still get my 500mb for internet on my blackberry on a sim only plan with BIS added ?

thanks

All Blackberries use data through their blackberry APN however!

Once you have the service books on the device you no longer need the blackberry APN to use standard internet traffic only to get your emails.

Hi Bobadob

Thanks for replying, i'm new to blackberry and mega confused

So my 500mb that comes as standard, thats just for internet on a non blackberry phone?

and i need a BIS bundle to use internet on my phone

so does that mean I get my 500mb plus BIS data, or just BIS Data
