    When I had a 9900, I bought it used and just inserted my sim card from an android phone, and nothing worked except phone calls and text messages. I couldn't use the browser or sign in with a BBID or set up an email account. Once I called my carrier and had them move me to a BlackBerry plan, it worked great.

    That functionality may vary depending on the carrier, but that was my experience.

    As you probably already know ...

    BBOS devices need BIS to work.
    Without , they are just capable of mobile phone / texting.
    ( on wifi have some functionality )

    BB10 on the other hand will work with regular data plans.
    So if you want to stay with BB , get a BB10 device.

    Alas, if only BlackBerry would release a software update to legacy BBOS devices that would allow us to use the device fully without BIS.

    Then people would have to use their blackberry with all the protection and security that BIS supplies!

    (i'm just trolling. I'd install that BBOS that way ;-)
