Hiya, i'm new to the forum, and i'm thinking about buying a second hand pearl.

Now my plan was to use my pay and go o2 sim in it, then when orange brings out the pay and go blackberry plan, get a sim card from then and TAA DAA. I have a fully functional blackberry.

Is it that simple though? I'm a complete n00b with blackberrys if i'm honest. This is why i came on here... so if anyone can help me with this, and explain the pros and cons to my plan then i would be very thankful

Hi there. I recently purchased a Rogers BB Pearl, and used my Rogers Pay As You Go SIM card in it and it works perfectly, but doesn't include Email and web browsing functionality of course. As far as I know, to use your current Pay As You go SIM card until you get the new one, the Blackberry needs to be unlocked.

Does o2 offer pay as you go data for Blackberry? I Googled it quickly but couldn't find anything. If not, you will only have voice and SMS functions, I believe. I could be wrong as I do not know much about European carriers.

If they do not offer pay as you go data, the limitations of not having a data plan are explained here: What do I need a Data Plan for? - BlackBerryFAQ
