Blackberry Sim Only Tariff not for Q10?

[Anonymous]

I've been looking at the sim only tarifffs but the blackberry one says its not for the q10. I asked on live chat why it wasn't but didn't get a real answer but just asked if I wanted to choose o2 refresh which I didn't. The chat was then ended when I said I wanted to wait 2 days until my contract ends. So what do I choose? The other smartphone tariff?

The Q10 does not require a Blackberry bolt on so you just need to choose the standard data option when ordering your sim.

Hi @Anonymous

Welcome to the forum.

Maybe Live Chat were confused because O2 choose not to stock / sell Blackberries at the moment. Maybe.

Follow the advice supplied and you should be fine.

Hi @Anonymous 

The Q10 is a Blackberry 10 device so doesn't use the BIS service the older Blackberry handsets used.

As has been said just get a standard data option but be aware if you had a Blackberry previously that the data is not compressed for Blackberry 10 devices as it was on BIS so yourusage could be significantly higher.
