Blackberry Curve 8520 Package Queries
 

Hi All - Questions refer to £15 package. Considering purchasing two phones. Q's 1- 4 for 'er indoors. Q's 5-6 are mine.

1. I've seen a few complaints where Virgin customers have been billed extra by Blackberry for Web/Email usage. I don't want any unexpected 'surprises'!! Under what circumstances are BB charging?

2. Does it cost extra to send/receive pictures?

3. Are Virgin to Virgin calls free? Info on website seems vague.

4. Switching from Orange - Can I keep my existing number?

5. I'm on a £10 Sim only Virgin deal on an old Nokia and want to upgrade to the Curve £15 package by paying an extra £5. Can I do this?

6. Can I keep my existing number?

All responses appreciated.
Regards.

No idea with regards number 1 but all the others should be yes.

It says on the virgin mobiles website in the fair use policy section that blackberry email usage is 25mb a day after which they may charge.

In regards to question 4:

Yes you will be able to keep your existing number but what you will need to do is request a PAC CODE from ORANGE and you will need to call Virgin when you recieve the PAC CODE and give it to them and they will request the number transfer.

In regards to question 6:

Yes you will be able to keep your own number as the sim only is a rolling contract ( 30 days ) and all they will be able to just put your number on the the contract.
