try fido...

get a bb off kijiji , unlock it if it hasnt been unlocked.

I think you would be good with the curve 8520 ... its relatively cheap and isnt shit like the pearl.

Id say go on the 25$ plan + 7$ caller id+15 bb msg pack (email, bbm, msn, yahoo etc).

or try wind mobile.

I'm definately going to buy a phone off Kijiji or Facebook Marketplace. I can't afford one brand new.
