Whilst perusing the O2 UK website the other day I came across an interesting offer they currently have running on the lead up to Christmas. If you purchase any of their BlackBerry smartphones on pay as you go you will also receive a £20 voucher that can be used in a variety of stores, including - Argos, M&S, Debenhams, Next as well as at amazon.co.uk.
The biggest seller this Christmas will more than likely be the BlackBerry Curve 9320 and although priced at £109.99 it isn't the cheapest we have seen it, combined with the voucher it makes for a real bargain.
So Mums and Dads of the UK - if you are buying a BlackBerry for your child this Christmas you may want to consider O2 as you can treat yourself with the voucher at the same time. You don't have to tell the kids this of course!
The deal also applies to the following devices:
- BlackBerry Curve 9360
- BlackBerry Bold 9900
- and they even have a refurb option of the Curve 9320 if you want to save a bit of extra cash.
You can order your BlackBerry smartphone plus voucher here from O2
