Virgin Mobile unlimited IM and email plan

[foxtrottango]

Hey all,

First forum post! Just ordered a BB Bold 9700 with Virgin mobile in Canada and was wondering if the opera mini workaround for browsing currently works? I ordered with intentions of using the blackberry social plan but would switch in a heartbeat if it does work.

Not sure about that plan exactly.

A word of warning, depending on where you live expect to hate Virgin. In Victoria I know at least 6 people trying desperately to get out of their contracts as Virgin has one of the worst networks here.

Thanks for the warning. Bell and it's subsidiaries have one of the better networks in my area but my past experiences with Bell were enough to keep me away. From what I've heard the support at virgin is much better, and the coverage is the same since they're owned by Bell.

Anyways I was just wondering about the unlimited e-mail/IM plan since it seems to be the same plan that rogers users have had success with (for the opera mini browsing trick). Just keep reading some mixed responses in threads about this working on the HSPA network
