Hi all, I have just managed to get orange (uk) to give me totally unlimited - no fair usage policy e-mail and internet. For the same £8 per month! It is called 'blackberry total', the customer rep let slip it's name! Has anyone eles got this?

I am going to be starting a blog soon dedicated to my BB 8820 and will be posting the full stroy there!

Wow. Orange is getting better!
Now only Vodafone in the UK needs to scrap their 6mb allowance for something better!

Yes, it is good although I think it is only available if you have a BB and specifically ask for it. May be it is a trial? After all they are offering 80mb for over £40 still! Who would get that!!!

I have the "talk with blackberry" unlimited data plan for £6 per month (2 year contract) it gives 250mb fair usage, checking on the Orange site they still have 6mb data usage. If they updated their website surely they would get more customers coming to them.

Funny thing is that the carphone warehouse lists the new 250mb data plan for orange. It is really odd that they haven't updated their own website.

just to let know that i phoned orange and the best they could do for me was 250mb for £8 a month as seen on their website Orange Business Services | mobile data plans, data tariffs

although it is much better than £8 for 6mb

Thanks for the heads up on this.

That's a great deal from Orange. 250mb for £7.50 VAT inc.

I made an order from them last week, and they horribly got my account wrong, and gave me a number which belongs to someone else...

250 is brillant, but I double checked and it is unlimited and 'No fair usage policy' with 'blackberry total'. Brillant!

i tryed to explain to the woman on the phone but she couldnt speak english all that well and she could only give me that package so even though it not unlimited it better than before and 250mb aint bad. Although Orange phoned me back after i lost blackberry coverage as the changes wont come into effect till my next bill which is 12th June

Hi people, okay I have a Nokia N95 and just got the 250mb bundle added.

Now I've read this thread so phoned Orange back to ask. Apparently, it's an offer to Blackberry owners only and is 50p cheaper than the 250mb bundle. However, the chap said that it's actually the same deal and the blackberry unlimited bundle is still fair use of 250mb.

When logging into OrangeWorld you can view your account and it says all the bundles on the account including the data used and remaining. Maybe someone with this bundle can check there to see what it says.

Hope this helps.

Just checked my account details via OrangeWorld, it only tells me how many minutes are left on my plan. Phoned Orange, they swapped me over to the Unlimited, 250mb, Internet Talk for Blackberry plan with no problems. I cant believe they were charging me the same price for only 6mb.

hi Lukekjones... So are you saying that Orange confirmed with you that the BlackBerry Unlimited plan is limited to 250mb?

Yes, guess it's not unlimited then.. Attached is a screenshot from their website with the unlimited condition added.
