Orange UK launching PAYG BlackBerry 8120
We just got a tip that Orange UK would be the first carrier in Europe to launch a Pay As You Go BlackBerry device. Here’s the deal: it’s an exclusive-colored BlackBerry 8120 (Indigo, which is available on T-Mobile USA, might just be an UK exclusive) that will sell for £145. What about the monthly fee? A laughable £5/month. A pretty awesome deal that we’re told launches tomorrow. You can also most likely look for the PAYG service to color-up the rest of the BlackBerry devices Orange UK offers over time, provided this goes well. We guess we were right about BlackBerrys coming in boxes… Any Orange folks out there interested in picking up one of these?
Hey that is really good news well my carrier vodafone South Africa already had this option check the link:

Is it possible to do that here in the U.S. ?
Depending which carrier may want to dabble in offerng a service like that .
@ Kimberly, i’m not sure if there’s a Pay as you go service for Blackberry’s here in the U.S. but the one for Orange is only available in Europe, you wouldn’t be able to get that same deal here stateside.
I wish the USA had Prepaid BlackBerry services!
What a most excellent way to peddle large volumes of aging mid-range tech stock to a target audience who likely never have or will actually need a BlackBerry. This isn’t to say I can’t recognise the benefits of a BIS topup as you go BIS tariff if absolutley a necessity over contract, but the en masse will likely be fairly unaware of the amaount of data their shiny new (old) BB logo bearing device will chew up day to day.
