BB Help for Singapore & Philippines
- Hello,
I work in Manila but live in Singapore so I commute quite a bit. I want to get a BB for checking email and phone. I wanna use Prepaid as I am unable to get phone contracts in either country. So I was thinking of getting a Quadband 8320 Curve from Ebay and use a prepaid SIM from M1 in Singapore and Globe in Manila.
My questions are:
1. I'm sure it will work as a phone in both countries, but anyone have any experience with this?
2. Will I be able to check my emails (gmail, company email, hotmail, etc)?
Ebay description says I cant check BB internet, BB messenger, BB mail. What does that mean exactly?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

I went to Singapore for a few days a couple of months ago, I used the Starhub green card as my sim. I believe only Starhub offers prepaid Blackberry in Sg. I was able to use my BB fully there.

1. The blackberry was lost and found, never returned, stolen and blacklisted.
2. The owner never paid their bill, also blacklists the PIN since the carrier won't release it.
You'll need to choose another blackberry.

Best ask the person you bought it from Ebay. I hope it's not like any of the reasons that RB stated above.12-14-10 07:31 AMLike 0 - That would mean either of two things:
1. The blackberry was lost and found, never returned, stolen and blacklisted.
2. The owner never paid their bill, also blacklists the PIN since the carrier won't release it.
