They also do an Orange locked Blackberry 8120 for £145 (but you have to top up £20 at the time of purchase) so £165 in total. What you have to do is get them to call (on their phone) and activate your BIS in store otherwise you have to make a call that costs 25p to set that up. This is annoying if you are using it just for BIS as you the have £14.75 left on the account not £15.00 (or a full three months worth of BIS).
