Welcome to BlackBerry Deals, a mobile phone price comparison site specialising in BlackBerry Mobile Phone Contracts. You can find the cheapest BlackBerry deals by looking on individual pages, or refine your search using the search block to the right. If you are looking for particular special offers, such as free gifts (laptops, xbox etc) you can use the "Free Gift" drop down list in the widget, as well as being able to filter by network, minutes, texts etc. By default the search results will show the cheapest offers first, which will pick up deals including free line rental, automatic or instant cash back

The search widget on this site is designed to give you as much control as possible when searching for your contract. This does add a little complexity so it is worth understanding how it works in order to get the most from it.

Currently we exact match on texts and minutes, so, if you enter 500 minutes we only show deals with 500 minutes. We are in the process of changing this as sometimes contracts with more minutes can be cheaper.

The reason for this is the difference in tarrifs between networks. Consider a (hypthetical) situation where Orange, Vodafone and T-Mobile offer contracts with 500 minutes but the Three network does not, instead using a tarrif starting at 600 minutes. In this situation it is quite possible that increasing the number of inclusive minutes will actually find you a cheaper deal.

Of course this does not apply if you are filtering by network provider.

We are in the process of changing our search widget to allow you to search using “minimum” limits as well as exact match. For the interim, please consider this possible anomoly when searching for deals.

The more parameters you select the fewer deals will be checked. For this reason it is best to start looking for contracts with as few options selected as possible, then refine your search based on the initial results brought back.

Above the search button in our widget is a “deal counter” which will check the number of contracts available matching your criteria before you hit the search button. This may take a few seconds to settle. If you have made several changes to the drop down options in close succession it may take a little longer to reach its final correct value. There is no harm in searching whilst this counter is still “working”. The purpose of that counter is purely informational and designed to save time searching for deals that do not exist, or “bad combinations” of porducts.

A simple example of a “bad combination” would be searching for a deal with 50 inclusive minutes and a free Apple Mac Book. Clearly, you are not going to get a free incentive like a Mac Book with the cheapest contracts, so that kind of search will return no products.

Another example are limited edition handsets which are only available on a specific network. For example, at time of writing the BlackBerry Torch Red is only available with VodaFone, so, if you search for deals specifying the Torch red with another network provider like Orange you are not going to see any deals.

Our website features a custom search widget in our sidebar which, if used properly will help you find the cheapest BlackBerry deal very quickly. The last of the options in this widget is titled “Order By Cheapest Total Cost”, which is the default setting, however, there are other options available to you which are explained below:

This setting will order deals cheapest first based on the total cost of the contract over the full term of the contract including things like:

This is essentially the same search as the one above, factoring in all costs and discounts, the difference being it then averages out the cost of the contract over the term of the contract. So, on an 18 month contract it will divide the total cost by 18, and on a 24 month contract it will divide the total cost by 24.

The reason this search can be useful is that, when ordering by total cost shorter term contracts are likely to come up first, which though cheaper overall come up for renewal sooner. It may therefore be the case that a longer term contract 0f 24 months has a lower average.

Of course what you have to keep in mind is that even if an 18 month contract has a higher average, it may still be cheaper as at the end of the contract you own the handset, which you could either sell, or put a pay as you go sim card into.

The only instance when Order By Lowest Monthly Average is likely to genuinely work out cheaper is if there is a fee for the handset itself, for example, you have to pay £100 on top of your contract to get the handset you want.

This filter orders deals based solely on the amount of line rental payable to the network provider. As with all our searches, deals are listed cheapest first, however, as all discounts and handset costs are excluded from this search, it is unlikely to show better deals than the two searches above which factor in all additional costs and discounts.

This filter orders deals by the amount of cash back highest first. I am not quite sure why people look for deals with the most cash back, but they do, so we included it in our search tool.

If you are looking at a high end handset on a cheap contract then you will often have to pay extra for the handset. For example, you are not likely to get the latest BlackBerry Torch (BlackBerrys flagship model at time of writing) for free with a contract that only costs £10 or £15 per month.

In this instance, you may actually want to order deals to find the cheapest handset price. This is likely to return deals which have a slightly higher line rental with a lower up front cost.
