Editor's Advice
For tailored BlackBerry SIM only contracts the options are fairly limited. Currently only Vodafone and O2 offer pre-packaged tariffs that provide you with a BlackBerry Internet Service to work with your phone. T-Mobiile do offer an add-on for an extra £5.10 a month which gives you unlimited access to BB email service.
You can still use other networks and SIM only deals with your phone however the two main services of BB messenger and push-email will be redundant and would defeat the purpose of having a BlackBerry smartphone.
On the whole, we’ve found that Vodafone have the best BlackBerry SIM only deals at the moment, except on the entry level tariffs. Available from £15.50 on Voda and £16.50 on O2 you can get 300 minutes and 3000 texts on a 12 month contract. Although the latter contract is more expensive by £1, you do get 500MB of data on O2 compared to 250MB on Vodafone. Please not though that this O2 pay monthly deal is only available to PAYG customers at the moment.
If you are not concerned about having BB Internet Services then you may wish to opt for another network (Three, Virgin, Orange) and SIM that has Internet data available to use. You can view these

Pick of the Bunch
The current tariffs that standout from the crowd SIM deals have to go to Vodafone. For a limited time only you can get ½ price line rental for 3 months on a 12 month contract, saving you as much as £60 a year.
On some of the higher end plans there are also some additional online exclusives including 25MB of data roaming and unlimited landlines. These are time limited offers so take advantage of them when you see them.
Compare the best SIM only deals designed specifically for BlackBerry users and that offer much more value for money than normal BB phone contracts. Both O2 and Vodafone offer packages designed for BlackBerry however you can still get a SIM-only contract on other networks like Three, Orange and T-Mobile but without the BB Internet Services attached.
