Default Do any of the UK networks offer pay as you go BB services with pay as you go data

I'm going abroad and ending my contract so i will no longer have a BIS connection unless I can get a pay as you go sim from 1 of the UK networks that offers a blackberry service WITHOUT debiting £x out of my credit each month.

Do you know if any of the networks offer a literal pay as you go data plan where I pay for all my data rather than have a certain amount come out of my credit automatically each month for say 50mb?

Reason being is that i plan to use the wifi only service to get it work, so i wont use any data at all but i do NEED a blackberry internet service connection.

T-mobile offer a 6 month bb data plan for £20 one off payment but it seems it only applies to pay as you go BBs bought from t mobile and not ones unlocked from other networks.

Does anyone know if vodaphone, o2, orange, or 3 offer a BIS connection WITHOUT having to automatically pay a certain amount of money out of my credit each month for the service?

I dont mind having to pay a lot for all my data as i wont be using it anyway i just need a BIS connection.

Default well...

I don't get what the big problem is about 5 pounds being deducted from your credit every month. I know you can do it with orange. just make sure you have 5 pounds credit? It's not that much.

I think the Orange plan sounds pretty good, although I think they could make things a bit clearer.

So I guess if I were to load say £30 on my phone £5 would come off every month plus any texts/calls I made. I am currently on Tesco PAYG so may look into the Orange service.

I wish Tesco did a similar thing because their customer service is excellent and UK based. Orange is my ISP and their India based customer supoort is next to useless, but the product is great
