If you live in the UK and are interested in getting your hands on a new Blackberry smartphone like the Curve 9380, you may be aware of the myriad of options when it comes to taking out a contract with the network of your choice. In this article I will take a look at a couple of the more popular tariffs and what you get for your money.

Like most smartphones new and old, you can of course choose to purchase the handset itself of a Pay As You Go plan, or simply buy a SIM free handset into which you can then insert a SIM card with the payment plan of your choice. Although convenient for some, this can mean a substantial financial outlay upfront as the Blackberry Curve 9380 will set you back 243.49 for a SIM free phone or 219.89 for Pay As You Go. Therefore you may prefer to take out a contract with a network provider, where you pay a monthly fee which includes an allowance of calls, text messages and data usage over 3G. Additionally, any of these contracts will even throw in the handset froe free.
Most UK networks offer a range of contracts which are suited to many different needs. Generally the more you pay, the higher the monthly allowances will be.

In the unlikely event that you exceed the 1GB monthly data allowance then standard charges will apply.
