Blackberry help!

[Captain]

I purchased a blackberry curve 8520 on pay monthly contract with this:
- unlimited texts
- 200 minutes
- 500mb internet add on

which comes at 25 quid a month, then it arrived today. It says I need to buy a blackberry package just to download apps etc? If i buy the blackberry extra's, do I still need the 500mb internet add on or can i get rid of it?

I think you would still need it

I'm assuming this is like Canadian carriers.

You still have to pay for that data even if you're using your platform's app store.

Right i got my blackberry curve 8900 this month and there was deal with unlimited internet however I rang orange and they said theres two plans
Theres a normal unlimited internet plan [subject to fair usage] which is for normal phones.
Then thres a BIS plan [Blackberry internet plan] which is £5 a month same price as the normal internet plan.

Ive got that atm. Im guessing you need that or u cant use blackberry services such as the browser etc.
Id ring them up and ask them and maybe ask to swap the unlimited internet plan to the BIS plan
