I searched and really couldn't find anything so i'll ask here.
My gf is going to bulgaria for about 3 weeks and she is going to be bringing her blackberry with her. Has anyone had an experience using a blackberry in Europe?
Im really just trying to find the cheapest route possible for her to call me and sms me. Also, if we just used BBM instead of text, would that be cheaper?
I looked at VZWs plans on their website and they wanted 2.49 a min. Some of the global sim cards I looked at didnt look too pricey, but I figured I would check here before I ordered to see if anyone knew of a better plan.
Agreed with Radius. I travel frequently to Europe for work. I buy a local SIM card (any grocery store and machines in Heathrow, for example) for about $15. Gives me lots of minutes with which I can SMS. For calls back to the use, I use Skype. All Skype calls back to the US are no charge.
My friend who back to Thailand for the summer, bought a local SIM but her local phone provider had a BB service for her pay-as-you-go SIM (she had to a pay a very small fee each day to receive the normal BB services).
But then again, each country varies with it's services of course.
And never use roaming because I was charged �128 for about 3-weeks ish, using BBM lol.
