Hi. Is it possible to use bbm? How much is it extra per month? Other operators offer unlimited usage per month.

Blackberry devices, excluding the new Z10, require a £5 payment to be able to use the BlackBerry services...which will allow you to use BBM. This also compresses your data usage so you will use ALOT less than users of other phones.

 

This applies to all phone companies in the UK, not only O2.

You just need the BB Bolt On, I think it's £5 month for non OS10 devices. Not needed on the Z10

The answer is the same I'm afraid. If you want to stay with O2 the bolt on is £5 per month.

Not so I'm afraid.

T-mobile is £5 per month or £20 per 6 Months for BIS add on

GiffGaff is £3 plus a goodybag (at least £5 per month)

Vodafone is £5 per month etc.

What you may be confused with is the promotions applied with a new Blackberry which often include 6 or 12 months free BIS access or optional bonuses for topping up at least £10 per month. 

iPhone 14 Pro (O2 ), S23U (EE), iPad Pro LTE (EE), .

100mb used solely on BBM would last you all year wink
