Mexico prepaid SIM

[vorth]

Hi guys.

I am going to Cancun tomorrow. I desperately need some Data for my Unlocked Blackberry 9700.

The Telcel "passport" pre-paid things looked great. However, when I called them; they told me that BBM (Blackberry messenger) will not work with their data. Most of my friends are on BBM, and I really would like to use it.

How should I go by getting data for my blackberry, and I really want to use bbm.

thanks.

buy telcel amigo prepaid sim in cancun

there are 2 kinds of data services

a normal data service for laptop/pc/usb stick/iphone/android for normal internet browsers, normal email
and a separate blackberry data service for use only with bb phone for bbm, bb email, bb browser and bb apps

you only need the blackberry data service
bb data service can be renewed/extended every 1/15/30 days

first you will need help from telcel shop assistant to active the bb data service
no longer possible to active bb data service online

insert sim into bb phone and switch on
then easiest to go to telcel.blackberry.com from normal pc to activate your new mexican rim account for bbm and bb email

diesmal, ähm, macht’s gut, und danke für den Fisch. Tschüs

I will be going on a cruise march 29 and looking to use my iPhone 3G strictly for data while in the ports (cabo, puerto Vallarta). I'd want one of the prepaid plans for data and would ideally lime to get a hold of the sim card before I left the states. I'd rather not spend half of one of my port days getting the sim activated and data loaded. Does anyone have any ideas?

I've tried to call telcel and Movistar but cant seem to locate a number to talk English to anyone.

I paid 45$ for a SIM with 1GB of data and they shipped it to my hotel in Playa del Carmen. I think they also had Telcel SIMs.
