I'm going to be traveling to the US next week and want to take my Blackberry. I figure I need about 10-15mb of data and about 250 text messages. Does anybody know of a good deal for travel?
$30 gives you 10 MB of data / $50 gives you 25MB. i HIGHLY recommend getting the roaming data add one... imo, it's a must than the voice and text messaging add ons.... the bill when you get back to canada will kill you...

There is NO CHEAP WAY to txt in the USA you can pay $50 for unlimited txts for the month, $10 for unlimited txts per day
As for Blackberry use
I pay $10/month + $1/MB for my US data as it bounces around when I'm going in and out, 1-3MB per day is what I average on my Blackberry.
Ok, thanks for the help. I saw those packages online and was hoping somebody had something special hidden up their sleeves, haha. I guess now I just have to debate whether I really want to pay to have my phone for the week.
Try to see T-Mobile Pre Paid plans... you can get it working if you have unlocked GSM blackberry device.
I see they offer prepaid calling mins, but how about BIS data plans? If BIS plans are offered, would that mean I would have to disable/delete my Rogers BIS email accounts and set them up on T-Mobile?
I plan to travel in the US for a week (NYC specific).

Do not go with rogers for their absurd roaming packages. You are seriously way better off getting a pre-paid sim for a carrier in the US. If you need to unlock your phone it shouldnt cost you more than like 10 dollars so you still save.
