Default How far does 50MB Orange BIS go?

How far does the 50MB blackberry internet service on pay as you go with Orange.

I'd like to run BBM, email push, nimbuzz (with msn, skype, facebook chat), and checking FB a few times a day. Would this be enough?

Should be fine if its only when your out and your using wifi at home. Don't know nimbuzz but the rest arnt data hungry, use the installed facebook client rather than going to their site and don't try to stream video or music and you should be fine.

I never had any problems with payg on my old curve. I never did streaming though, but had plenty of pushed email, bbm, facebook & msn and seemed to stay well within the limit.

I am getting the Orange PAYG £5 BIS in a couple of weeks, and I can see with the kind of use you mention above I would be fine, but what if I wanted to use BB Maps or Google Maps, would they cause a problem and would BB Maps be less data hungry?

Thanks.
