Blackberry data in Europe

bukzin · **Blackberry data in Europe -** 24-02-2010, 06:13

I am looking for options to use my unlocked Blackberry (from US)
while traveling in the EU.

Web surfing, email, MMS and text are needed.

Either a multi country SIM card or local French SIM.

Any ideas?

I really suggest a local sim card for every country you're going to visit.

Any idea which of the local cards (SFR, etc) have affordable rates?

I will be using a high amount of data daily. What might I expect
to pay?

I fear there's no blackberry option for prepaid customers in France...

Hi
In Europe, the cost of data on a mobile is mind-bogglingly expensive. I had hoped that using my campus WI-fi would mean that I wouldn't use my service provider, Orange, and therefore wouldn't rob me blind.

go and get a UK T-Mobile payg Simcard. Blackberry Service will cost you 5 GBP per month or 20 GBP for 6 months. There is a Blackberry roaming package for a monthly GBP 15.00. The hotline talked about it of a "unlimited Blackberry" add on. Might be an option for you?
