My Business Needs A BB

[mister_j]

Hi,

I'm very new to BB so please bear with me. My company is located in Vancouver, Canada, and have a staff of over 20 people. I am very interested in giving most of my staff members a BB to use. I have a few questions that would like to ask:
1. Can I buy the BB from a carrier outside of Canada and use their data plan?
2. If I am forced to buy from local carriers, can I setup my Microsoft Exchange with any BES provider in North America?

Thanks in advance,
J

Well to answer your first question you should be able to buy outside the borders, anybody can. And you won't be able to use an outside carrier due to the fact they wont have service where you live. So you can buy your Blackberry from anybody or any place but make sure that phone is compatible with your local carriers whether its a CDMA or GSM phone.

-please correct me if im wrong.
