Can do payt sims, or indeed the 30 day rolling sims as mentioned above. However as your prob aware, the blackberries use Data apllications.

Blackberry email service to send and receive emails live is chargeable at £5 month ( vodafone actually pay Blackberry for this service ) Coupled with the fact that you need internet usage ( charged as Kb's) which can work out expensive so they need to ideally be on a free internet use pack as well. Pack for that is £5 month for 12 months or £7.50 monthly for on or off use.
As you can see, £10 extra or £12.50 pm for the benefits of having the phone for additonal net use can be expensive.

If you just want to make calls, payt or indeed the 30 day rolling sims, would be ok.

Hope this helps.
